All the best for negotiations Re: Anyone used Glen Fern (BORAL) Brick with Shale / Surfmis 14Sep 03, 2016 12:57 pm Let us know the conclusion to the problem. Im still keen on the Glen Fern but hopefully this is fixable. Re: Anyone used Glen Fern (BORAL) Brick with Shale / Surfmis 15Sep 15, 2016 12:40 pm Right now we are pushing for them to re-brick the whole house because there are a number of defects, including the bevel. An independent inspector also reported: poorly installed damp proof course(DPC), DPC installed too high, rising damp, bowed brick walls, mortar perpent widths & mortar bed heights exceeding BCA allowances, other markings on the brick faces. Oh the pain of it all! CARLISLE - Milano 48 Slab pour: 21 Jan 2016 YES - a lot has gone wrong!! Lets hope they fix them all! Currently approaching completion - maybe: July 2016.

Oh the pain of it all! Oh my goodness That is a lot of defects I hope this this gets dealt with ASAP. So they have to re-brick?? No other way?? Re: Anyone used Glen Fern (BORAL) Brick with Shale / Surfmis 17Sep 15, 2016 11:22 pm It makes me wonder why do these bad brick layer get the job !! Mil, I am with you. Emma directed me here as I am going through something very similar . Bowed wall, holes all over mortar and , different mortar colour and bad pointing through out the whole house and many bricked around the window and door frames are cut short. Have you moved in ? How are they going to re brick the whole house ? Builder seriously need to fix the issue and compensate the time and living arrangement you have to put up with Re: Anyone used Glen Fern (BORAL) Brick with Shale / Surfmis 18Sep 18, 2016 4:36 pm Hi Emmz70, Apparently no other proper way to do it. If DPC is attempted to be retro-fitted it can cause a slip joint. DPC is meant to be installed as the walls are being built. Sunxiao, No we have not booked in our PCI (practical completion inspection) yet & will definitely not be moving in until all this rubbish gets sorted. We are going through BACV & potentially VCAT or even court to get this sorted because they seem to be playing dod'gy games with us. Very hurtful & disappointed to say the least.
