Why would you put Yellow tongue flooring over the cracking AAC Panels... you are just masking over another problem?

Thanks for your message. Below is my list of items I would check or do when selecting a builder in future, including mistakes that I personally made: 1. Only choose a builder who has clean job sites. I really believe that builders who are well organised and clean demonstrate that they; care about presentation, are supervising your job properly and are using subcontractors who also have pride in their work 2. Google research reviews, and dont dismiss negative feedback you find online by thinking "this will never happen to me as I will manage them better" in hindsight I had come across a lot of warning signs that I chose to ignore because i was in attached to the builder's design 3. Do not pick a builder based on their design. Often we walk into a display village and fall in love with a design and then choose that builder. Pick a builder based on their quality and reputation and then get them to modify a design for you. 4. Pay close attention to the quality of the finishes in the display homes, especially how they finish flooring around the kitchen benches ( ie how neat the tile cuts are) and other joins in architraves etc, have a look at how neat the skirtings finish on the floor and look closely for painting and timber defects. If they cant do a good job on their display home why would they bother on your house? in my case the first builder had terrible quality, but assured me that they would use different trades. I fell for this lie and ended up with the same terrible trades ( I actually have this in writing) 5. In NSW you can check their license history and see if there has been any claims against them. So check how often they change their nominated supervisors ( you need one nominated supervisor to hold a building license and you can check this on the NSW fair trading website) 6. Ask who your supervisor is and what qualifications they hold, ie are they a chippy, bricklayer or as in some cases have no qualifications whatsoever. The problem is that a building company doing 100 or even 500 homes a year only needs one qualified builder on staff and often your house is being supervised by someone who is totally unqualified ( this happened to me, my supervisor was a joiner by trade who had made his living doing office fit outs not building houses). On this point, if you get the name of your supervisor you can look them up on NSW Fair trading website under "licence check" 7. Get a copy of their construction contract and if they use the HIA contract run for the hills ( my understanding which could be wrong is that this has been prepared by the association which represents builders). Only use the NSW fair trading contract which is fair on both parties and not heavily in favour of the builder. I hope this list helps a few people. I could add more but then it would be too long. If anyone ever needs advice PM me, happy to answer any questions Re: Builder demands $201,118 for non compliant defective wor 212Jul 04, 2019 8:07 pm SejaeD I really appreciate your input Can you please explain what you mean by tensile cracks? I hope to put up a practical example that covers self assessments for deflections, the methods and the tools I use in Identifying tensile and compression zones, cracking and acceptable code tolerances. These are things that I would encourage everyone to do when you visit your build, Take photos ,collect measurements and data onsite, compare them with codes, tolerances, Bim 3D Model, Store & File them for future reference, etc OT, You don't need to be an expert engineer..just have a basic understanding as to when an expert is required and importantly how to get the information to the experts when it matters....Stay tuned Bosch has some amazing new tools and apps that will turn you into an expert during your build.

You must feel a bit relieved to finally see light at the end of the tunnel, and that the house you set out to build all that time ago is now so close to being yours Thanks for your kind message. Can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. The other exciting thing is that my builder has a massive gyprocking crew who have sheeted the whole house in two days!
