Congrats Darvindavis we had the slab poured Monday Morning looks great how long do you think they let it sit for until frame stage?
Hi oliver1989g,
I have no idea what the builder going to do next. We have been waiting nearly 1.5 months for the slab pouring. Every time when i ask, they say rain - wet floor - need to dry. And yesterday finally poured.
Next what when..... I dont know.
Get used to it :/ the sooner you accept it the better you'll feel hahaha. Speaking from experience 😉
Hi Nug,
Does the builders allow private inspectors like houspect , to inspect their work ?
After the inspection if they reported anything wrong, what will do then ? They inspects after the work no ?
Our slab has bern poured today.
Yes your builder shouldn't have a problem with private inspectors if they stand by their work. You have the right to engage one. You should let your builder know if you use one so they can arrange access for them.
They inspect after each stage and provide a report. You give that to the builder. If the builder refuses to fix any problems you will need to take it to tribunal.
Thank you so much for detailed reply.
I hv contacted houspect.... Let me see what they say....

Hi Guys, a quick one.
My builder has said that Liverpool council MAY require Hydraulics Report which would be at my own expense. Did any one of you need to do it?.
Is it mandatory of everyone?.
My builder just informed me that my approval can go through CDC and we should receive the building permit within 3 weeks
Well 3 weeks turned into over 3 months. We finally got our slab this month, but surprisingly I found out today that most of my frames are up, only about a week after the slab was completed. I haven't even paid for the slab yet.
Regarding the private building inspector, they found a few cracks in the slab that had been treated (I'm not sure by whom), and they only need to be monitored. It was a pretty comprehensive report with a long checklist. In summary the slab was acceptable.

Work proceeds for a further 3 weeks after every stage is complete generally allowing you time for payment without them stopping.. Thats a great sign having the frames up so quick
Hi darvindavis
Would you mind give me some feedback about Bellmarch. Their prices are competitive, but i am not sure if there is any hidden prices?
What about their quality?

They are good but slow in construction. No hidden charges, but puts big margin for everything, every changes..thats can b considere as hidden charges. Eg. Removed approx 4 loads of wastage from land, but they invoiced 10 loads. Simple as that.
Check tile size. Standard size they will mention. But its small size actually.
What else ......
Hi everyone,
Abit weird but is it normal to ask ur builder for an update on when your next stage will commence?
Or is it better to not hassel them and just wait it out lol
