Same with anything else that needs to go to Engineering for review with any of the issues that are picked up. I have also been asking Henley to provide their Independent Inspectors report and have been receiving them. Good Luck today. Re: KDR - SE Melb - Simonds Flinders - FRAMING 302Nov 29, 2017 7:11 pm Nothing appeared to be happening on site today. We had a quick look around and noticed a couple of things that hopefully the PI picked up. Haven't heard from the PI yet, they were supposed to inspect this morning so hopefully we'll have the report tomorrow.

I remember when Simonds inspectors did frame inspection - they came around 11 and left after an hour - so pretty common on inspection for no activity follow my build Arden homes Votivo 37 iin south east: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=88622 Re: KDR - SE Melb - Simonds Flinders - FRAMING 304Nov 29, 2017 8:18 pm pEast Bri1234 Nothing appeared to be happening on site today.

Re: KDR - SE Melb - Simonds Flinders - FRAMING 305Nov 30, 2017 9:20 am This morning's drive by - roof guard rails have been installed and there was someone there installing wiring for our security system. Received our Frame Stage Invoice from Simonds Haven't received PI report as yet. Will call them this afternoon if I haven't heard from them. Re: KDR - SE Melb - Simonds Flinders - FRAMING 306Dec 01, 2017 9:43 am Nothing happening on site today. Understandable with this weather. Received our PI report this morning. Looks like they only inspected the frame when it was supposed to be a slab and frame inspection. Waiting to hear from PI. Framing report. Not having done this before I'm not sure how serious the items are or not. Overhanging frame, bracing needed etc. Re: KDR - SE Melb - Simonds Flinders - FRAMING 307Dec 01, 2017 12:01 pm Hi Bri - Overhanging frame will need to have engineering report for rectification. Framing issues will need Simonds to address. Send Simonds an email with the report asking for the Engineering report for rectification and asking for all items to be fixed with photographic evidence and notification in writing that each item has been rectified. Good luck with the PI for the slab report.

Good luck with the PI for the slab report. You've dealt with Simonds. For these things do we only send them to the SS or should we be sending them to the CRC as well? Re: KDR - SE Melb - Simonds Flinders - FRAMING 309Dec 01, 2017 12:30 pm Send to both and cc your hubbys email address. Then there is no denying that the report was not received. Re: KDR - SE Melb - Simonds Flinders - FRAMING 311Dec 04, 2017 3:25 pm Last Thursday we received our Frame PI Report. It wasn't so favorable. A few defects. Also noticed they had not inspected the slab as requested. There had been some miscommunication within the PI office. Person I've been dealing with called me Friday evening and apologised. The plan is now to have the frame reinspected once the defects have been sorted and have the slab inspected at the same time. A bit of a nuisance but as long as it gets done before bricks. I avoided anything 'house' over the weekend. Especially with this horrible weather we had over the weekend here in Melb. Drove past this morning to find them setting up for roof tiling and also a load of plasterboard being delivered (it's all wrapped up in plastic, phew). This afternoon they look close to finishing. Haven't had a response to frame report from SS yet.

I thought they would have wrapped the house keeping in mind the weather. 2.5 weeks for the brickies - so just before Xmas follow my build Arden homes Votivo 37 iin south east: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=88622 Re: KDR - SE Melb - Simonds Flinders - FRAMING 313Dec 04, 2017 5:13 pm It's looking good with tiles. Just went passed. They aren't quite finished. I can also see ducts on site. A bit concerned it's very muddy on site but there seems to be quite a bit of pooled water around the back left corner of the block where the alfresco is. Re: KDR - SE Melb - Simonds Flinders - FRAMING 315Dec 04, 2017 8:37 pm Hi Ezza Some of the defects are - Bottom plates overhanging the slab more than 10mm on all elevations Bottom plates not being fitting correctly and spacings too wide Missing nail plates Missing bracing etc etc etc Re: KDR - SE Melb - Simonds Flinders - FRAMING 317Dec 04, 2017 9:27 pm Ezza78 Don’t know what it all means. Hope they are easy to fix? Lol yeah, I seem to be googling a lot of building terms lately. Re: KDR - SE Melb - Simonds Flinders - FRAMING 318Dec 05, 2017 3:45 pm No change to the roof today. Can see what looks like ducts for the gas heating and evap cooling in the ceiling space. And looks like electrical rough in was done today. Haven't heard from SS re frame report.

That’s surprising given the good weather I'm guessing there is a reason for it. Seems to be the capping not done yet (I think that's what it's called). We were lucky in that our old house was so small (86 square metres) compared to the new house, they were able to take enough readings around the old backyard house before… 8 37142 The biggest challenge will be if you take out a loan and then run out of money - you'll have an incomplete security and lenders do not like this so you can get stuck.… 2 19096 Hi, I am looking into doing a KDR in Melbourne and am contemplating using Kialla Homes. I am looking for feedback on them from others who have built with them. 0 13443 |
