We live 3 Hrs drive away in Sydney so it was worth the trip down Fri/Sat to inspect and meet up with our slab engineer and go over everything.( He continually updated us before and up to completion of the job ) We were very pleased with the work and we asked him to thank everyone who was involved. Our original estimate for piering was 60LM . It came in at 64 all up,(lucky) which meant we only have to pay extra for 4LM from the original 60LM estimate. The only additional thing we had to get done was where the water tank pad is located next to garage on the down side of the block, had to be built up ( ie after some consultation, they put in some drop beams, then formed it up and poured additional concrete to help support the tank properly when it gets installed latter). This image is a panoramic picture from the back of the block ( the image looks a little stretched ! ) Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ From the front.

The reason I ask is that ours is not, and the tilers have installed it "off centre". They have chipped away at the cement bed to get it to fit. The plumbers came back and looked at it and said it was "not right" and we are hoping they will fix it. There's black soap scum and obtuse smell coming from the bathroom now so it's pretty rank. Thanks guys. Hi AKG, We had a base tender of $592 for 31 squares from MC Donald Jones. It looks relatively cheaper than other builders.
