I'm building a house in Melbourne's west (pretty crappy ground) and the frame is just about finnished.
I email the builder to get an update and they tell me that they have stuffed up the slab (Waffle type slab with foam inside). I try to ring the supervisor but apparently i have to go through his stupid secretary not directly through him. She tells me she isn't 100% sure what has happend but she thinks that the slab is 300mm short at the front!! She tells me that its with the engineers and they will pobably just add another 30cm to the slab across the whole front.
Apon inspection i then find this
Here is the first pic of one place you can see a few reo bars and the plastic supports for the reo which lead to a cavity in the slab

And below a pic of the tap and water meter....notice they put it almost 2m inside the boundary instead of out the front (the pic is the side of the house....was hoping to have a fence there so i'm not sure how they are going to read the meter???
