Page 2 of 2
No issue there
Cheers onc, much appreciated
Hi Frogger - our slab is pretty much the same as what you described we also have alot of cracks but they are just hairline for now and the slab is pretty much white in colour now. We also have the reo exposed in hole in the concrete at rear of house, this has since been fixed.

B'jindalee - The bobcat drove on our slab when backfilling the dirt to the perimeter of house, there are some minor damage to the edge and top part of concrete but it's not big enough to be a major concern.

Site supervisor not fixing the honeycombs as he say it's normal. However, just in case he is wrong, I sent some photo's to the building surveyor in charge to have a look, so hopefully he will inspect the slab.

Here is how they fixed up the hole at rear of house.

Before:


After:




I hope this is the correct way to fix it.
Geez.... now that is what I call a hand trowel...

hmmm Would I be happy no
Hi all,

After contacting the building surveyor in charge and also emailing him with photo's attached about my concerns, he sent his inspector out on site to inspect. The inspector along with my builder inspected the site. Next day out of coincidence I met the building inspector on site he told me that he believes the slab is normal and doesn't believe it will cause any structural problem but to be safe he told the builder to get an engineer to check.

At the moment I'm waiting for the outcome.
