Browse Forums Building A New House 1 May 02, 2019 2:55 pm Hi there issue: overhanging brickwork During prehandover inspection, we noticed that garage wall overhangs the base slab by approx 55mm on one side and 30mm on the other side. our builder said he will fix it by filling with concrete underneath but I don,t think that's the right way of fixing it. could you please advise ? Also I'm sending the brickwork done in garage : messy and uneven mortor joints, cracks in the bricks. other defects as well.
