This includes hebel to both levels. What they might mean is that you can't hebel to the second level where it sits above a non-structural walls, unless of course you pay up for additional steel supports.

Your house is looking lovely. I hope you get your PCI date real soon. Re the metal lintel, in QLD if the lintel is to face brick they leave it as is, if your render comes all the way to the front door then it's painted to match, see what your ss says but don't be surprised if they say it's standard to leave it. Ours is exposed like yours and I don't notice it anymore. Re: KDRB Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney) - Fixing stage 1744Feb 12, 2016 11:02 pm Tribe7 Congratulations Mona, your so close to the end now.

Wish we changed to brick I think render should be painted tomorrow or Monday.

I have seen you mention somewhere about grout sealing. Are you doing it and do you have any company that you recommend. Is that done to protect the grout lines from going dark and muddy. Thanks Raina! Yes we will be sealing the grout. I have spoken to Sydney Tile Experts - they gave a quote for $4.50 per sqm for something which apparently lasts 5 years, and $5.50sqm - 10 years. I don't know how one can guarantee that - as it will just depend on traffic. I was also in touch with gr0ut pr0 - but I have found them not to be responsive. Thank you MONA for your reply. -------------------------------------- Alkira Homes - Elyse 15 Alkira homes - Elyse15 Re: KDRB Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney) - Fixing stage 1746Feb 13, 2016 8:21 pm Wow.

We noticed that there were only one screw put in for our steel re-enforcement, even though there are provisions for four screws and when we raised this with our SM, he said he would get an additional screw put in (which means two screws) when there's provision for 4. SM said not necessary for 4 screws.

Orpheus Building the Metricon Glendale 38|Sydney Re: KDRB Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney) - Fixing stage 1755Feb 15, 2016 9:15 pm Hi Orph, it's not on the contract. The provision for four screws is when we do the inspection, we see four holes on the steel beam and of these four holes, currently only 1 has a screw in it.

Have they fixed your vanity kicker and under stair storage issue? Hopefully you don't have too many issues to pick up. viewtopic.php?t=78985 Hi Franky Thank you . Hope so too we have a date soon. Not sure re vanity kicker. Under stair all good. Still waiting to hear from Vacarro on the electricity - CSC has emailed them - but we need M to be assertive with the electrical company, as they just wouldn't email the meters quote. Have asked the SM - so hopefully things move with this now. I have told the SM we need electricity to be there before the inspections. Fingers crossed there aren't many issues. I need to prepare for the inspection. I really don't know what to expect. Would like our inspector to go through first. He said they prefer do the inspection without clients, as it could get distracting. So thinking whether I should arrange a time to meet him right after he has done his review to talk through any major issues. Not having a date still feels so open ended. Electricals, grout sealing, blinds and security doors to be booked in as soon as we know Metricon Glendale 38 - viewtopic.php?f=31&t=75696&p=1298363#p1298363 Selections: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=75696&start=60 Tiles - p25 Re: KDRB Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney) - Fixing stage 1759Feb 15, 2016 10:09 pm monalisa Franky40 Congrats Mona - hope you get a date soon and it all goes well.
