So many defects in my frame inspection report!

Yesterday, we went through the frame inspection with both my independent inspector and my site supervisor. Unfortunately, there are so many things needs rectifying including the up-to-55mm frame overhang, missing braces, braces not properly secured, missing shear blocks, missing bolts, bolts not installed properly, etc. My site supervisor, who is a really nice guy to deal with, promises that all of the defects will be attended to this Saturday. Fingers crossed that everything will be properly fixed.

Besides these, there's also an issue with my double glazed windows in my master bedroom. The fixed panels of the windows are 4mm/10mm gap/4mm instead of the 6mm/8mm gap/4mm. I was just curios how can they manufacture different configuration of panels in the same window? I just need to wait and hear from my BC and SS.

Frame completed

Frame actually went up 5 days after the slab is poured, which is a good thing to have as I was previously told to have only 3 days interval only between slab and frame. More excitedly, it was completed within 1 week, a pretty good process. Also, it looks like some of the slab issues have been fixed but there are some problems with the frame especially the overhang issues which are up to 50mm in some places around garage. We'll wait and see how our independent inspector come up with after the inspection on this Thursday.

We have a slab!

Yesterday, the 14th of January 2014, we finally have our slab poured after a week of delay as a result of rainy weather in Melbourne. I wasn't really satisfied with the finish quality although my slab supervisor advised that these issues are just cosmetics only and will be sorted out as the build goes on.
