We are getting boxed up for our slab today Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 228Apr 01, 2019 12:33 pm ...and wouldn't you know it, we have hit our first speed hump. Just had a call from the Site Supervisor to say they have discovered that the retaining wall down one side of our block has been built about 100mm into our block. This is affecting where the house sits, as our garage is meant to sit right up against the boundary. All plumbing has been done to suit original positioning, so they now have to get an answer from Engineering on how to remedy the situation. Our Site Supervisor is suggesting they cut out some of the retaining wall where the garage is positioned, so it can still go right up to the edge as it was designed to do. Fingers crossed they get an answer soon so that the slab can still get poured this week. Also not happy that we have obviously lost some of our 706m2 - losing 100mm x 47m block length adds up!!! Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 229Apr 01, 2019 4:08 pm Who installed the retaining wall? Our I've that was installed by Davnic, who Metricon use wasn't even done correctly - I had to rectify it so that it wouldn't fail when we had our driveway put in... If they stuffed it up, they need to remove it and put it where it's supposed to be Our Bayside KDR Thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=78298 Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 230Apr 01, 2019 4:21 pm No, we bought the blocks with the walls installed along each block. It was done by the developer. I don’t know why M’s surveying didn’t pick up on it.... or why they didn’t start measuring out the house from the point where garage sits on boundary tho!!
