Re: Our First Build - Calleya - HGWA 24Jun 01, 2015 10:00 pm Quick update on what's been happening........ We have a roof......sort of....... we have the beams. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ It was at this stage that we decided to get an independent building inspector through. We just wanted to make sure all is good. It looked great to us but we are not builders and we know there have been some issues in other builds . We were looking through another house at the end of our street and meet the owner. He gave us the name of the inspector he used so we gave them a call on Monday. By Thursday they had visited the site and had a report ready for us. It was 5 pages long! The inspection was for brick and roof. There was no issues with the bricks but quite few with the roof. We've sent it through to the builder but haven't heard back from them yet. Hopefully we will hear something this week. Re: Our First Build - Calleya - HGWA 26Jun 01, 2015 10:16 pm kellie_87 Oh my gosh chadtyn you are flying along! Looking great Thanks Kellie It's been full steam ahead since siteworks. I can't believe how quick its all gone. Hopefully they rectify all the issues in the building inspectors report and we get the roof on before the weather sets in.

I love Summit designs. I'm following your thread too Re: Our First Build - Calleya - HGWA 29Jun 02, 2015 10:17 am Good job you got the building inspector in. Hopefully they will sort it out quickly. I have noticed a lot more people using independent inspectors. Apart from that its looking good Re: Our First Build - Calleya - HGWA 30Jun 02, 2015 12:45 pm Sharry Good job you got the building inspector in. Hopefully they will sort it out quickly. I have noticed a lot more people using independent inspectors. Apart from that its looking good :: I'm so glad we did it. Some things can be really obvious, like our neighbor has had a brick wall built straight through their shower! And other things like with our roof, where you wouldn't know to look at it that the strapings aren't tight enough and there should be multiple collar ties on the underpurlins.
