Browse Forums Building A New House Re: is this normal in slab 4Mar 16, 2020 7:06 pm [quote="luxbuild"]Is it normal? .. possibly for the builder. Is it compliant with the standard or fit for purpose? I can't think of anywhere on a house build I'd be happy to Expected when there is a slope, that is the reason we do drop edge this what builder said it's next to laundry Re: is this normal in slab 6Mar 17, 2020 8:30 am IMO, That is not fit for purpose Refer to the engineering slab Details for dropped edge beam More information is also required, the better the information the better the response, and it also helps others What to put up? My2c... 1.Take 2 photos of the construction work a close up ( include a tape/rule for reference) and one further out for context 2.Take a photo of the builders plan that relates to the photo in 1 above. ( remove builders name) 3.Take a photo of the engineers details that relate to the photo in 1 above. ( remove engineers name) 4.Always get the Builders, SS, trades responses in writing as no one remembers what was said 6 months on 5. Take photos at the same location as the build processes as problems generally manifest later on 6.7.8 Cheers Chris Designer,Engineer (Civil,Const & Envir),Builder,Concrete & Masonry Contract.Struct Repairs Re: is this normal in slab 9Mar 18, 2020 8:15 pm StructuralBIMGuy IMO, That is not fit for purpose Refer to the engineering slab Details for dropped edge beam More information is also required, the better the information the better the response, and it also helps others What to put up?

The slab details used will need to be identified as the plan shows a waffle Slab? What's apparent is the edge beam/ footings is missing and ask why it didn't get picked up earlier in the build process, ie SS-> Concretor-> footings Inspection-> bricklayer? I suggest you also contact a local engineer to do a inspection report, lodge a complaint with the Building Commission, OT, I am seeing far too many trades on Construction Sites that cant read engineering plans. Thanks for the photos Cheers Chris Designer,Engineer (Civil,Const & Envir),Builder,Concrete & Masonry Contract.Struct Repairs Re: is this normal in slab 14Mar 24, 2020 9:34 pm doesn't look correct, if you look at the photo from D and C house, they have transitioned the DEB with the natural slope of the land, your one seems to stop abruptly and certainly no transition as is "normal" practice, do you have a set of stairs going there that will hide this? Yes, get a builder, make sure he is experienced and a registered building practitioner 5 8968 |
