Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Nov 27, 2012 8:56 pm Today builder emailed me: "*** would like to inform you that we have now completed the slab stage of construction of your new home. The next phase of your new home will be the house timber frame which is due to commence shortly." Shall I have an inspection to the site with supervisor at this stage? Thanks.

Amongst other things during the inspection they found a >14mm drop in one piece of the slab in the living room. I don't know what they've done to actually fix this, but they claim to have done so.
