The rest of the bricking is ok, but we are definitely not happy with those parts above. I sent an email to the CM with the photos but haven't had a reply yet. If he waits too long to check it out they'll be covered up as the brickies started the inside of the external walls today. The brickwork today looks better but there is definitely one brickie that is better than the other one. Oh, we've also had our front door frame delivered and some scaffolding-type stuff, presumably so they can do the tops of the walls as they are 31c throughout. Re: Westy's Demo/Rebuild in Perth - brickies! 232Sep 30, 2010 11:48 pm That bricking looks very * west, hope they sort it out for you my new build thread- Ben Trager https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=89826 my switch build thread (2011) https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=36569 Re: Westy's Demo/Rebuild in Perth - brickies! 233Oct 01, 2010 9:59 pm Hi westy ~ so much progress! Looks great ~ but I completely understand why you are worried about those bricks. They do look a bit d.o.d.g.y don't they. Hope you get a response soon that you are happy with. Have you had much communication with your new SS so far? Have you met him? Fingers crossed that he agrees with you... _______________________________________________________________ We're a knockdown | rebuild ~ Melb SE burbs Building modified version of the Fairhaven Glenaire Homeone thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=28429 _______________________________________________________________ Re: Westy's Demo/Rebuild in Perth - bricking issues 234Oct 02, 2010 10:52 am We don't have an SS, VT. He resigned around the time our slab went down (I wasn't told until I tried to email him and cc'd the admin person), and we still don't have a replacement a month later. I emailed the construction manager again yesterday to get a response about the bricks - his reply was "it doesn't look like any issues from the photos". My response: Are you kidding????? He said he will try to have a look next week but by then it will probably all be covered up. We will go and check it out today and if the subsequent work is still bad we'll look at getting an inspector. Re: Westy's Demo/Rebuild in Perth - bricking issues 235Oct 02, 2010 11:02 am Mate that sucks that your work is a bit **. Why do we have to watch them like a hawk. Can't these people imagine how they would feel if it was there place. We have dramas also. See my post.

There were a few others as well, including the mortar splattered all over the new fence. At least he said that would be cleaned. They didn't do a whole lot yesterday, only about 7 courses on half of the right side, and they set up the scaffolding/walkways to finish the tops of the walls (but didn't start working on them). I'm beginning to suspect they are paid by the day... 5 days down and they aren't even close to finishing the external walls. Here's a few pics of the alleged progress: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Westy's Demo/Rebuild in Perth - bricking issues 238Oct 05, 2010 10:24 pm any news on the bricking ??

Really hope the CM gets it sorted for you. We've had the offer of a short term tenant whilst waiting for CDC/DA home approval and demolition for our knock down rebuild. It would achieve a pretty low rent as it's… 0 14066 5 6998 if the original house is in good condition most of what you listed could be added in stages without the need for KDR and costs and disruption of having to live elsewhere… 1 13999 |
