Re: Coral Homes general build thread 11375Feb 19, 2019 5:47 pm A question regarding defects. We have noticed new cracks and bulges where nails are popping out form gyprock. We moved in in Dec' 17. We had defects corrected finally by Coral Homes. First year is over and according to the Building Standards/Code, if certain things appear within two years, it is deemed defective, is this a thing worth pursuing?

I was advised by a lawyer who is on the hia board that you should do an inspection prior to the 2 year period and then pass the report on to the builder to have completed. We are noticing chipped tiles everywhere at the moment and I’ll be bringing it up to builder tomorrow. We still have heaps of stuff to get fixed yet which should be happening over the next couple of months.

Thanks Ryan2007 I take it that you have been taking photos to prove the chips were done at the time of laying. The builders will find any excuse to get out of it. I can't believe you are still battling on with issues but really doesn't surprise me. Are they major issues?

I can't believe you are still battling on with issues but really doesn't surprise me. Are they major issues? Nothing too major. Oh there are way too many for them to indicate that it’s us and they are under and near corners that we would never get to I’ll just go through fair trading. They are all on the corners and seems like the ruler has tried to cover up with grout but now the grout has washed off you can see all the chips. If we were to drop something on them 1 they shouldn’t chip so easy and 2 the chances that something will fall on the edges is so slim they are 600x600 tiles Re: Coral Homes general build thread 11379Feb 19, 2019 6:32 pm You would be surprised Ryan2007. Tiles are expensive and quite frankly not quite what I was expecting. If the glue underneath does not cover the whole of the under tile and sounds 'tinny' yes they crack. We had to have some replaced.

We had to have some replaced. We had a stool actually fall on one it really cracked like it was hollow underneath tbh I’ll just get fair trading out for an inspection if they say no then that all we can do but I will at least go that far I know we haven’t caused the chips as they are everywhere in different spots and grout missing You should check your detail drawings, it may show downpipe within brick pier. 14 14495 Ask the council if there is a chance of getting build over easement exemption. Sometimes easements are unused and 24cm is not all that much. Good luck. And yes any builder… 2 14836 In Qld it is a requirement that a builder must have a cost breakdown, for building a home to the same specification, with the same inclusions and the same finish. So ask… 1 4916 |
