No volume builders outsource quality control inspections. This is done mostly by the SS. They have a book for every home under construction detailing every stage. They confirm individual items against a thorough checklist for each one of these stages. Whether or not this is properly utilised is a matter for each SS ie. how competent he is or how much time he has to action it thoroughly. I do not expect access to such reports seeing as they are a builder’s informal in-house protocol. The reports I was talking about are independent surveyor’s reports. These are inspections of engineered construction elements ie. footings, slab, frame etc. These reports are hardly worth getting excited over though- they are standard form documents with nothing more than a big tick and signature confirming the stage was passed. Also, these ‘independent’ surveying firms are not exactly impartial. They are commissioned by the builder thus favouring them to get return work. More often than not little technicalities and breaches will simply be overlooked and ignored. In any case, I delayed my progress payments for the slab and frame stages until I was provided these reports, at which point I went mental at the builder because I had unthinkable defects with my home that were overlooked. The best thing to do would be to arrange your own experienced inspector at least twice- just before plastering and at handover. Lunchtime The nightmare client comment is a take on what our SS has already said about us. The thread that you draw attention too is about wanting to cash in on builders errors. I just want my house built to the proper standard as promised by PD and my SS. You need a lesson in comprehension. What I wrote was that “I have a reasonable expectation that my home will be constructed on time, within budget and in accordance with all working drawings and building regulations”. That is my primary objective and desire. If my builder breaches our contract by building a defective house then I will seek damages in the form of monetary compensation to the full extent possible. If what you take from that is that I sit around hoping for errors so I can “cash in” as if I “won lotto” then you are mistaken. puppyso Hi Inverell, Can I ask who did you build with and what kind of documents did they release to you. I was wondering if PD will release all the documents for our appliances with the warranty cards etc.. Yes I am in Reflections- just look for the prettiest house on the street I don’t want to name my builder until I am finished with them. Yes, you should expect user manuals for all appliances. I requested (and eventually obtained) copies of all surveyor reports, engineered drawings for my slab, footings, roof truss layout etc. (these are not the ones included in standard drawings issued to the client). I even received correspondence between the builder and third parties in respect of various problems with my build. Probably received other documents too but can’t remember now. Three options 1 Ask the liquidator 2 Find another PD customer and ask the source of their report 3 Pay for new report 3 12182 Ask for references and speak to them. If they are defensive or try to avoid the request, walk. 1 74219 I would never build with Fowler homes. I built with them in 2021 and till date maintenance issues are pending.
