They have managed to rectify and lock up fairly quickly, from what I see.
Is it Hebel outside?

Will you be able to share the name of your new builder?

Thanks AlexP

yes my builder has been pushing really hard. Some days he has had around 20 guys there and I dont think we have had a single day in the last few months with no work at all. Even this week he started insulation Tuesday and sheeting is now finished and joints are 99% set ( as of 30 mins ago). Keep in mind its a 438sqm home

Has a massive crew of gyprockers who normally do apartments. Should finish sanding by late next week and then tiling and painting the week after.

The builder is really small and only does word of mouth stuff. Company is called JM Build Pty Ltd. He has a really loyal crew of subbies that do all his work. cant fault anything

Hi,

Noticed this discussion when looking for fence details for my own home.

In relation to the AAC Panels:

Your defects primarily relate to poor workmanship/installation and the building process (ie. other trades working on floor, loading goods on floor etc) AAC is a very fragile product, and damages quite easily just moving a panel.

The cracking across a panel happens where a floor joist is higher or lower and when walked on will just crack. The steel mesh will hold the panel together. But some areas can deteriorate if repeat traffic occurs.

Joists can be 2mm out which could mean 4mm up or down from joist to joist, the panel just cracks.

The density of these products is around the 600kg/cubic metre, bricks around 1800kg/cubic metre.

There is a perception that AAC is as strong as concrete, bricks etc and perform as such.

Have fixed numerous jobs. For instance a hotel would encounter problems down corridors where cleaners repeatedly wheel house cleaning trolleys.

All brands of AAC encounter what you have experienced.
