Could you please advise private building inspection on every stage of construction or final inspection is worth doing. Also, please recommend good private building inspector in Sydney. Thanks in advance Re: Info Required Pls- Private building inspector (NSW) 4Jul 27, 2017 12:05 pm Circuit I recommend you get someone local and preferably an engineer to inspect the structural concrete stages From My experience some Builders & Contractors are way too cunnings. here's some of their tricks you need to avoid 1. They employ their own building inspectors, so they never bite the hand that feeds them 2. The Concretors never give you the exact time the concrete Footing, Slabs & Driveways are being poured 3. They will tell you it's compliant when its not..if it's not you'll need an Engineer anyway Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ The above photo is of a concrete pour that's held-up while the home owners engineer enforces reinforcement changes. BTW this would not be required if the builders engineer Or SS had visited the site Here is an example of non-compliant concrete on another recent post Where to go after fair trading Designer,Engineer (Civil,Const & Envir),Builder,Concrete & Masonry Contract.Struct Repairs I would send it to the certifier who is technically your representative and working on your behalf not the builder's 1 2278 If you already have a contract, is the inspection cost stated in there? If not they would be forced to issue you a variation which you could of course object to. 12 25870 I do enjoy the drama:-D In his latest two videos he has started bringing security guards to site, I am waiting for the punch on to begin lol 6 45560 |
