Pre-slab complete and inspection done... just a couple of issues to sort out before slab is poured tomorrow (if the rain holds off... not looking good though).

Photos for you all...

That sucks!

Did NHI pick up any issue with the slab design? Or do inspectors only ensure the job is done as per the drawing?

We got independent inspector only for frame and PCI.

Hi Joea, can you please PM your name and build details so I can discuss with your site supervisor the pic posted and ensure that all your concerns are addressed. Regards, Joanne.

Looks good! We found the pre-slab inspection very valuable - we had a few small issues but they were fixed.

We had a frame inspection yesterday and the inspector found that some of our slab near the alfresco area had exposed rebar... because some of the concrete had come away and the rebar is rusting. Rusting rebar can be really bad. So they have to treat it all then cover it up. I think that inspection just paid for itself!

Our frame is all up and roof started this week. It is coming along nicely!

Finally got my construction drawings....
Site cut is all set to 25th and slab on 5th of Aug... exciting moments.

Can anyone suggest how long does it take to construct Hebel House.

Slab wasn't poured today... way too wet for the trucks to get in and not get bogged!

Slab poured... photos galore...

Anyone have an idea of how much laminex colourtech gloss cabinets cost? We are adding 3 cabinets to our kitchen island bench.

PD has come back with a quote of $7000 inc GST + stone stop (we only have to pay for half of that though because it's partly their fault). Is this the usual price for these types of cabinets?

Hi all,

I've just been to the contract appointment but it wasn't successful bcos of some reasons. Below is the questions where I don't get satisfactory answer from PD. I'd really appreciate if anyone could help me with these:

1. I can't have eaves on side boundaries bcos there needs to be natural lights for the bedrooms. But based on BCA 3.8.4.2, the natural lights provision just states that the window size will need to be at least 10% of the room floor area and the window needs to be at least 900mm from the boundaries, which I satisfy both the requirements. It doesn't mention anything about the eaves.

2. The max length of glass splashback they told me is just 3.6m. I believe it should be 4.3m, isn't it? How could I persuade them to do that? Mine is just 4m.

Many thanks

Our kitchen splashback is 4.05m wide and we have a single piece of glass for our kitchen splashback.

Talk to Joanne (Team PD) about it, no guarantees but sometimes this can be an uphill battle.

Jackula... I love the look of your tiles... bummer about the kitchen outcome though.
