Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Apr 19, 2017 11:58 am Hi All, recently found this site and found it to be super informative. I'I currently building my first home at The Vale, in Aveley. Went onsite over the weekend to check the progress and a few things come to my attention. The first is one of the beams across the living room has a rather large imperfection in it. I know not all timber is perfect but is something this large acceptable? The second is there seems to be about an inch and a half gap between the edge of slab and the door frame leading into the garage. Not sure what it is. Would like your opinions on if this is something the builder should be fixing or if it's normal. I have raised these with my CLO but no response yet, in fact they seem to be missing in action. Communication with my builder I'm beginning to find is a bit of a joke unless it is to have an invoice paid.

We had a similar gap and I believe there was a purpose - sorry I can't recall it at the moment! But I think it might have something to do with the flooring. Are you having tiles?
