Re: KDR - New Choice Homes Custom design - Perth, WA 4Jan 10, 2019 11:16 pm Doozer1905 They charge you to go from Fastwall to Verticore brick? I don’t think they charge more, it was just something we stipulated. I could be wrong, but always thought the Maxi’s were stronger than the fastwall. Re: KDR - New Choice Homes Custom design - Perth, WA 5Jan 11, 2019 6:54 am Thme At a quick glance the brickwork Should be verticore at minimal cost unless you want to deal with constant brickwork cracking,3c Bonded brickwork over openings windows, Brickweld, etc You might want to also upgrade the slab mesh. BTW If i may recommend, that you don't do a drive by (shooting Photos) of the key structural elements, Slab , brickwork, Frame, beams,etc, Check the details, don't miss the target and photograph , as no one remembers what was done onsite months later after an event.

Just about ready to sign off the final plans and then they'll be getting onto scheduling. We've got a fair amount of siteworks to be done, as they need to raise the levels and do a bit of retaining, etc. I'll be sharing photos when they begin. Re: KDR - New Choice Homes Custom design - Perth, WA 12Feb 18, 2019 8:23 pm I hope you took more close up photos of the slab? Worth noting....I can't see re-entrant bars on the garage/entry corner? Thanks for sharing Designer,Engineer (Civil,Const & Envir),Builder,Concrete & Masonry Contract.Struct Repairs Re: KDR - New Choice Homes Custom design - Perth, WA 13Feb 18, 2019 10:13 pm Re-entrant bars are definitely in the entry corner and there appears to be a line across the garage corner at 45 degrees that I'd assume are the same though picture isn't clear. Pictures are always good for your own reference.

I can't see any exposed barwork showing on the outside of the slab, I think overall it looks good. It will be interesting to see how many cracks form.
