One of the builders inspector actually pulled up the crate over the strip drains taking photos of the leafs around the outlet I told him to back his bag and get out of my house I told him what the f*****k are you trying to pull here as always he was not happy that j cought him out and never heard back from him. Re: Slab heave is alive and well, watch out. 55May 23, 2018 12:24 am I would go after builder as he aproved the engineering under a practice, fully knowing he was under resourcing a all ready poorly designed system, I would also meet with your local state politician, the more pressure placed on politicians, the much better chances laws will change. The engineer not doing a soil test, is deceptive incorect information leading to a in correct slab which has ruined your home. Who ever your builder is needs pressure put onto them, if they won't seriously assist you, I know of one particular gentleman who would protest with signs at a display home and their office, ended up getting a satisfactory result. Re: Slab heave is alive and well, watch out. 56May 23, 2018 1:02 am Hey thank you I will most definitely keep that one in mind I really want to expose everyone involved with the builder it amazes me to See big name builders taking so many short cuts they take your money then they think its ok to short change consumer's it would be so much cheaper if tggey built a good product to start off with. I have measurements that proves every room in my house is short in measurements every room if I hadn't checked just for the sake in making sure that the house matched the plans well to my disappointment I found my rooms short also my garage which is under same roof line was costum disign to fit my boat which is 8 metres long and 6 metres wide but also they agreed to give me 2575mm under front garage panel lift door which they agreed to build I have same for the rear garage door, now in the last 2 years I have lost height under front door opening and it's come to a point I cannot get my boat out of garage with out dropping the air out of tires, this is how bad its gotten I have told my solicitor that if my outboard motor sized due to cannot start, I will added into the claim I have gone from 2575mm under garage door to 2460mm under garage door. How does something like this happen without some serious problems with the footing system. Any thoughts anyone on how I can loose height under garage panel lift door. Feedback greatly appreciate. Thank you kindly.

It's the first thing they look for. They must all have the same textbook of ready excuses to consult.

Re: Slab heave is alive and well, watch out. 59May 23, 2018 3:07 am I have posted on here the BTF 19 AND BTF 22 please do read it thus is what builders don't want you to know, that a builder is responsible its called the the builders guide to preventing Dwelling damage. They hand you over the BTF 18 which is the home owners guide. But what about the BTF 19 and BTF 22. Its aimed specially to builders which holds them accountable for a lot of things. Please let me know your thoughts about the BTF 19 AND BTF 22. Thanks in Advance. Re: Slab heave is alive and well, watch out. 60May 23, 2018 8:10 am Just be aware that Guides are not leglislated and not always accurate even though they are invariably based on regulations.
