Please post photos and ask questions..preferably before the work is covered up, completed or gone past inspection stages & payment .etc
I've yet to see photos of the perfect build I've come close.

Photos depending on where they are taken from should be top or bottom Isometric, also front on elevation if possible 2. Site photos should include a wide shot showing the entire member, eg entire beam and close ups of the support eg wall supports, joist connection and any members that you think are relevant 3. Include a reference scale eg tape measure in the photos 4. A photo of the plan or sketch of the room where the beam sits also include a scale &/or Dimensions. eg Span between supports walls 5. My engineering details (3D) in most cases can be matched to your photo view Some examples are here on my Google+ account .

Just want to ask you please about demolish and build of a new single dwelling development next to our house. DA copy sent to us,noted that the fill is 450mm and retaining wall to be built by client. Now that the house and the retaining wall are completed, we noted that the retaining wall at its highest is 900mm. Could this possibly happen legally? Also, the boundary fence is not on top of the retaining wall but beside it on the lower level. Our fence which is 1800mm is effectively now 900mm. As a result we have now problems with privacy both visual and acoustic. There are 2 windows from their house, that look straight into our veranda and no privacy screening was required. Is this legal? Sunlight coming to our veranda had also been reduced by the added height of the fill. What are the rules about privacy? We are in NSW. We approached the council and they informed us that the noncompliance is just minor and no action required. Yesterday we also found out that no DA was given for the construction of the retaining wall yet from what we read, a structural engineer is required to approve the job if it is above 600mm. What can we do? Any suggestion would be very much appreciated. Note: StructuralBIMGuy Apology for the mistake of addressing it to a wrong person. Re: Structural Engineer..Details, Photos,Help Needed, Q&A? 20Jun 19, 2016 12:54 pm Thanks for the generous offer StructuralBIMguy. Here are some questions relating to my new timber framed house I'm currently designing and planning to owner/build in central QLD. It's on the coast, remote site, steep slope (average pier height 2.4m), soil type S, wind rating C4, fire rating BAL19. (1) do you have a recommendation on a steel subfloor system to use ? (I've looked at Stratco, Stramit/SteelMax, Spantec, OneSteel Duragal.) (2) I favour steel subfloor over timber subfloor so I can get longer bearer/joist spans for the same price. Is my reasoning correct? (2) re timber rafters & beams: for similar section sizes are LVLs stronger than LGLs and solid timber? (3) do you have a recommendation on how to protect a steel sub floor system against corrosion on the coast? (I'm currently planning to paint it with Ormonoid SilverShield bitumen paint.) (4) re bracing & strength: would a 120mm timber stud for external walls offer any significant advantages over the traditional 90mm stud? (I'm guessing it would but by how much ?)
