"They can't handle the truth..." Hi Rodda, I have to be honest (Even thou I am not happy still with them until they fix my issues) they did not say anything at all, Only I do not like to give anyone any excusse, I like to stay always one step ahead of the things, but this industry took my by suprise mate. Re: Should I complain to Building Commission or not? 84Jul 22, 2008 8:08 pm htarash I have asked them for an official engineering report saying that cutting the slab to get things right is still with in standard and it does not effect the house. In some points we had about 25 mm diffrence in height in a length of 75cm. So far no reply with the report, only YES, WE WILL DO IT. When I talked to BACV, they also did say to make sure that we get everything right, since Taylors hill is a very rocky area and the slab in that area is extremly important. Do you know what classification the soil test came back with?

That may explain the cracking if the slab isnt right. Re: Should I complain to Building Commission or not? 87Aug 07, 2008 1:42 pm Hi everyone, I thought I will update you all.
Seems like, things have started moving along, The slab work has been done, there are still points that I am not happy with, which have been addressed to our builder. A lot of Plasters came out of the walls, the frame was fixed and new plaster went up again. The big sliding door has been replaced. The fixing Carpenter is due tomorrow to fix the remaining points. There are still lot of walls that I am not happy with, which I have a meeting with our Construction Manager tomorrow and I will address them, and see when they are going to be fixed. The heating system ducts seems to be installed, I can not actually check if the unit has been installed yet or not. Still do not have a firm completion day, but from the verbal estimate of 6-7 weeks, now we have 4 weeks left. Off course I am still waiting for the engineering reports, which I hope will be soon. Good things, Things are moving along, but slowly. Bad things, still a lot of points that needs to fixed/completed More updates to follow. Re: Should I complain to Building Commission or not? 89Aug 08, 2008 5:49 pm It's good to see that they are trying to fix the problems. Hope that things get better and you get your house in a month's time I've decided, after a period of confusion (my building broker told me it's probably not worth it to use a lawyer, but others have said it is a must) that I definitely will… 7 27951 i imagine you also have another contract with an architect? and yeah, whatever other's said about special conditions and appendices 16 16001 hey there! 😊 so, it’s kinda common for standard drawer depths to be around 500mm since most cabinets use this size to fit the usual runners… 3 20905 |
