However, i would be concerned about the broken bricks used in the wall, as they are defective and will not be at 100% of their designed strength. Re: First home - REDINK - Sh!t brickworks - Is this acceptab 91Dec 22, 2014 7:14 pm Very poor workmanship ,I would get a independent inspector to do a report or contact the MBA they have brickwork inspectors . the block work appears to be acceptable but in places you are not getting a full half bond ,the brickwork on the other hand is very poor ,If this guy was on my site he would be looking for a new job tomorrow. Re: First home - REDINK - Sh!t brickworks - Is this acceptab 92Dec 22, 2014 9:48 pm Yep I agree, make them redo it. That's a perfect example of a tradie who takes no pride in their work so even if (and its a massive if!) it was structurally adequate id be making them fix it, preferably with a qualified brickie!! Re: First home - REDINK - Sh!t brickworks - Is this acceptab 93Dec 22, 2014 10:01 pm I had similar problems with my house and my builder was more than happy to have them torn down and redone... at the bricklayer's expense of course! Re: First home - REDINK - Sh!t brickworks - Is this acceptab 94Dec 22, 2014 10:03 pm Check out the ThinkBrick guide to masonry construction.

I'd be asking for a meeting with your SS and run through it, if your builder doesn't already do a plate high inspection with you.

I'd be furious if I were you... Who are they hiring anyway, a kindergarten students??!! I really do hope the builder will compensate you and willing to re-do the whole thing again. I'm sure that kind of work will give RedInk a really bad rep in the social media if they don't fix it!

I hope they've fixed things for you and that your build is again progressing to plan. Re: First home - REDINK - Sh!t brickworks - Is this acceptab 100Aug 24, 2015 6:43 pm am back after nearly half year... we still does not have keys yet. PCI is booked this wednesday..... the journey has been roller coaster with Redink with lots of mistake and redoing same thing over and over..... main issue was the tiling, they could not get the measurement rights for the shower mixer and the tiles had to come off four times!!! they got it right the fifth time after hubby sending them step by step photo tutorial..... So it looks like we finally have some movement on site! Definitely later than expected, but I'll take any progress at this point.
