Browse Forums Building A New House Re: My building progress 42Jun 28, 2022 12:52 pm If your SS won't provide suitable documentation right now then i suggest you contact the insulation supplier directly and ask them to address your concerns. Also document the issue in writing to your builder, including everything the SS has said to you. Protect yourself. Re: My building progress 43Jun 28, 2022 1:00 pm He just said that that is what he was told by his insulation supplier. I don't know who the supplier is but will ask next time I speak to him. I have it all in writing via email. I do wonder if the ecowool packaging is different between the various batt ratings as the ones marked R4.1 were the same length and thickness as the the ones marked R5.0. Also the prints on packages were exactly the same. The package from the manufacturer never stated the batt values, it was only on the print out sticker from the supplier. I can't go and weigh the insulation now anyway as the plasterboards are now being installed. Re: My building progress 44Jun 28, 2022 3:55 pm kennyc if its important, you and your SS should still be able to access the ceiling cavity to check some of the the insulation bats against the suppliers specs - R4.1 vs R5. Maybe better to know now if there is an issue rather than after you have paid in full.

Re: My building progress 49Jul 11, 2022 4:31 pm Noname you/your builder need to do something about that water ponding. the temp downpipes draining onto the ground instead of into the stormwater is not helping. I did mention that to my SS when I met him onsite. He said that the eves will be done shortly and he'll make sure the temp downpipes are connected again. Other than that how else do you fix the pooling issue? I have no idea Re: My building progress 51Jul 11, 2022 4:34 pm AlexB kennyc Hey AlexB yeah, I got the $25k grant. Was stressing with all the delays but got there in the end Did they reject you or they approved it? They are trying to tell me we didn't start in time even though we sent in evidence that we did They approved it. We started within the 18 months.
