Worst concrete ever - photos added 56Jul 14, 2010 9:50 pm Lex Why not ask for money to pay to rip up the concrete? You shouldn't be worse off (at least financially) than when you started with a blank canvas. Well, if it comes to that and if the experts agree that it needs partial or full demolishing. Hopefully they can also give you an estimate of how much it would cost to rectify (whichever way it needs to be rectified/rebuilt). . I dont know as Ive mentioned Im a bit nervous of this guy. I guess I dont want to feel greedy, even though I am probably well entitled to it. Lex Hopefully you can get a really good inspector I really hope so, any recommendations would be great as I am going blind into choosing someone. Re: HELP!!! Worst concrete ever - photos added 57Jul 14, 2010 10:23 pm If this can be inspected by the usual building inspectors (used for construction progress inspections), then you have quite some choice over there - eg. Big Kev, Alex, Darren ... Melbournians would have the suggestions ... I'm sure a good inspector would tell you his prof opinion as to how can this be rectified - which would obviously involve assessing if it has to be demolished. Wishing you the best!

I don't get how those blokes run a business. The job is beyond poor, it also is dysfunctional (drains hardly work) and damaging to the house (no expansion foam and covered up weep holes). Did he put saw cuts in the slab to allow for cracking? I'd go him for full money back, plus removal fee's. The only thing he can probably keep is excavation costs. The only hiccup I can see is that you have already paid the price. He will argue that by you paying that you have agreed to the satisfactory completion of the job, but I think if you haven't signed anything, plus the attrocious state he left your job in, you should have a good case against him.

Yes, unless you are in a low intensity rainfall area or the area is protected from rain. Do you have access to NCC Part 2 or can you download it?
