Also the pg18 of 2.96 Building Dimesions says L/100 or 5mm that means either condition meet will exceed the allowable tolerance? If you are going to quote the document, quote all of it. “Departures from the documented set out ..... are defects if they exceed L/100 or 5mm, whichever is the greater, where L is the documented dimension.” The key to the above is “whichever is the greater” 1) The documented set out dimension is 3220mm 2) The tolerance is L/100 32.2m (i.e. 3220/100) or 5mm (whichever is the greater) therefore 32mm 3) The variations are 21mm (3241-3220) and 16mm (3220-3204) 21mm and 16mm are less than 32mm therefore fall within the allowable tolerance. What I don’t know is if the tolerance is at calculated at either end of the room (as worked out above) or the total deviation of the wall, 37mm (21mm + 16mm) which thinking about it now and see the plan, makes more sense. If it is, then yes, the wall is does fall outside the limits of the acceptable tolerance. Sort of an answer but with another question.....sorry about that. ----------------------------------------------- http://pab34newdigs.blogspot.com.au/ ----------------------------------------------- Re: Dimesions 9Nov 05, 2012 2:46 pm Thanks so much PAB_34, I have make sensor now after your comprehensive explanation. So anyone can tell me which organization can help me to solve the last question (total deviation or not). I am in WA and need to find best solution to solve this problem with Builder. Thanks. Re: Dimesions 10Nov 05, 2012 4:35 pm murphywei, Three suggestions: 1 – point out the total deviation to the builder and the and that it falls outside the guidelines (show him a copy of the pdf) from the Victorian Building Commission and see how he reacts. 2 – get in touch with http://www.buildingcommission.wa.gov.au ... commission and ask them about where to obtain the relevant information. 3 – Find a local building certifier and ask them. ----------------------------------------------- http://pab34newdigs.blogspot.com.au/ ----------------------------------------------- Re: Dimesions 11Nov 05, 2012 5:24 pm PAB_34 murphywei, Three suggestions: 1 – point out the total deviation to the builder and the and that it falls outside the guidelines (show him a copy of the pdf) from the Victorian Building Commission and see how he reacts. 2 – get in touch with http://www.buildingcommission.wa.gov.au ... commission and ask them about where to obtain the relevant information. 3 – Find a local building certifier and ask them.

Re: Dimesions 12Nov 05, 2012 5:34 pm There has got to be a difference between a room being +/- 1% of the intended size (not such a big deal) and a room being out of square by +/- 1%.

Hi Casa2, what do you mean? Can you apply your point to my case? Re: Dimesions 14Nov 05, 2012 7:29 pm What I'm saying is that if my room was 30 mm too small or too big it would be somewhat OK. But if my room was out of square by 30 mm I wouldn't be happy.

Re: Dimesions 16Nov 07, 2012 4:29 pm My guess is the grano worker with his one brain cell poured the slab on an angle. Then the brickie with his 1 brain cell followed the slab edge. The supervisor with his 1 brains cell, large pay check and company car did what most supervisor's do which is sweet FA (in other words didnt check grano worker and brickies work. I would have pushed the wall over and told them to do it properly |
