Folks,
My builder has offered to either pull out and redo some (a lot of) defective brickwork and redo it or to cement render the entire home.
What would you do?
Thanks,
Jamie

My inspector told me it needs to be vented to the atmosphere. Just imagine some of that cooking oil and grease vapour liquifying and landing on an exposed downlight fitting. There goes the house in a ceiling fire. I stand corrected I did a quick internet search and whilst not illegal it apparently would conflict with Australian Standards AS4386.2 Kitchen Assemblies. Noting that this is a standard giving "best practice" and not a regulation and therefore not enforceable.... But you could throw that back on the super...it's probably also then covered by the Building Code of Australia but the last time I mentioned that document to a builder they had an extremely blank look on their face..... mmm....donuts Homer Simpson 1956- Links: Site Costs Ready Reckoner | H1 Addiction Medical Advice | Château TDL: The Backyard Thanks for the informative response! I'll feed that back to the site supervisor. 2 4130 Black on light wood does look good. Not sure if it will be as long lasting as a steel finish? 6 6357 I am in the same situation, would you be able to give some insights in to this? I am in SA 8 17063 |
