Our tiler certainly hasn't w/p around our bath, and when questioned this morning he said it wasnt needed around baths. What sort of notice did APG give b4 arranging the pre handover meeting? Also wondering if you are building in the mid-close northern suburbs or your supervisor goes by a three leter name? My mother recently saw a physio who recently also built in the same area and had the same supervisor also has the same opinion we have of have formed of him. Hi cheekymonkey, Builders are supposed to be building houses to a certain level of standard (definitely not theirs). The reference that I used is Australian Standards (and Building Code of Australia which refers to Australia Standard). AS3740 provides the minimum for waterproofing wet areas. And it specify how and where waterproofing is required. Builder will advise when they are ready for pre handover inspection. It is usually about 2 weeks before you do your final inspection and key handover. The house I am building is situated south of the river. Re: Built with APG Homes - Ouch! 17Jun 13, 2009 1:05 am haha different super, must be a pre-requisite. Thanks for the pointer re AS number. Interesting, we've been told they are aiming for end of the month and with the amount of work done lately they must be aiming for a pre insp next Fri How did the inspection go? I've just noticed another prob with the bathroom tiling not being perp with the door line, by eye about 2-3mm but will be more obvious when I install a reducer strip for the wooden floor I'm installing. Unfortunately I tried to get the tiler to fix it prior to grouting on Monday but he didn't seem too interested. Did the inspector pic any additional things? We have two posts just like yours that wasnt fixed properly, strangely the one that is in the tv recess isnt used. Re: Built with APG Homes - Ouch! 19Jun 13, 2009 1:36 am Due to the trades not being able to complete their work, I've asked for the pre-handover inspection be postponed. So at this stage, BSP Building Consultants have not commenced with the inspection but I envisage being able to have the inspection done in about a week's time. Re: Built with APG Homes - Ouch! 20Jul 01, 2009 6:24 pm Check your mirrors during your inspection, ours arent safety glass and don't have the safety film applied to the back of them as per AS1288. I haven’t. But have a Lowe Design home. Not only did I find Matt Lowe patronising and a bully, but the home is NOT TO CODE.
