Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Nov 08, 2022 9:24 pm Hello, See some photos attached showing the Hebel installation in progress. A few first-floor frame areas are not wrapped including the outdoor timber post, top frame, etc, Is that normal. ? I am concerned before Hebel, those to be fully wrapped. Also, see that the steel bars are installed on the bottom plate. Is that enough support? Some gaps are in the steel plate and frame only hanging from the nails. Bit confused about what to do. Any advise?

Looks like they have used some top hat section from the scrap bin. OT, If the fixing TH section isn't square, level, secure, screws properly fixed etc The cladding is going to crack If your lucky he'll come around during the maintenance period and patch it, after that he'll stop coming. Then its your bad luck. once you've made the stage progress payment you've accepted it Back to the first line what else is defective/not fit for purpose?
