Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Feb 21, 2022 9:52 pm Hi, Help please!! I have zerobound cladding walls on 2 side of my house. 1 side has been installed as per zerobound guidelines. The otherside has been just slapped up without following guidelines. There is gaps, broken parts throughout it. If it is not installed as per guidelines then it is not fireproof/waterproof. Builder is saying he will cork it up, but its completely installed wrong. Nails have been used instead of screws. Panels are already lifting off this wall, nails are sliding out of walls. As it is not installed right, there would be no product warranty. I'm building on a zero boundary lot with neighbors house against mine. I'm disputing with Builder at the moment to get it all replaced and installed as per product guidelines. My site supervisor makes all the excuses in the world. Only yesterday the wrong bricks were delivered to my site. What would be the next steps if site supervisor won't listen? I'm not risking my families safety. Once the neighbors wall is up this would all be hidden so I only have a few weeks at most.
