Are yours stacked on the slab or on the dirt? The inspectors don't get involved. With the Pre Slab/steel inspection we were lucky to have 2 issues fixed by the slab guys while our inspector was there so we know they were fixed satisfactorily. All future inspections we are given a detailed report with photos and it's up to us to somehow figure out if the issues are fixed properly or not. We have to ask Mitchell for photographic proof. Maybe we should be organising weekly site meetings with Mitch. Not sure if that is overkill or not though. At least having corner blocks we can see a lot more through the fence 😏 Are all your frames and roof trusses on site already? Not sure if Fairhaven use prefab frames or build the frames on site? Our porch looks level it's just really crooked across the front. Hopefully it can just be ground off or something.

Not that i know anything about building, but it seems like you wouldn't want something that compromises the integrity![/quote] Assuming that is definitely your toilet waste pipe and they will have to cut the slab to relocate it, I wouldn't stress too much as it does happen quite a bit unfortunately. We had a similar toilet pipe issue in a build 10 years ago, and I basically took photos of the slab cut and the builder at the time then went and got a proper engineering report done. So my suggestion would be to press your builder for an engineering report, and also take your own photos and records if any slab cuts are to be made. Also make sure the termite guards etc are properly reset when the new piping is installed. Also keep in mind many of your drainage pipes (eg. from basins and sinks) are designed to be within your wall cavity. We have several pipes currently sitting right under our wall bottom plates....but the toilet ones are all out in the open. Good luck with the build, I'm sure this will end up being just another minor issue that we all experience during these house building projects. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Check our Homeone build blog here We are looking to do a KDR with fairhaven homes, Have seen plenty of good reviews about them pre construction and plenty of negative reviews about them during contruction… 0 18038 Dear Members I have to decide the Facade column size.
