"Fix"? I do not think it means what you think it means!

We identified the things we needed fixed to comply with BCA specifications and have received some formal correspondence confirming these things will be done and that we would be given…

After a phone call to the person who was meant to respond to our email, we'll be meeting with them on site today. Hopefully we will see some action after…

Still waiting for a reply to the inspection report. After several follow ups we only have a written confirmation of the date it was received, but no actual reply to…

Water was connected to the block a long time ago, the water meter reads some 36000 litres. But the meter is not yet connected to my house, so my almost-completely-finished-inside…

Oh yes, there's a porta-loo on the block. I'm not sure why people think it's okay to use my toilet. Maybe I should demand a new toilet that hasn't been…

I have filled a pool which used 15,000 litres, however the meter was already at 11,000 litres at that point. I am not sure what they are doing, but I…

Yes, definately the piers are not in the correct position nor are they the sizes defined by the dimensions in the plan. As you can see above, the pier setout…

Well, the whole thing is done by them. I paid a tonne for variations to the plans and for a custom-designed frontage to match the variations. Originally the house was…

Just checked, nowhere does it say anything like 'no scaling' or 'do not scale from these drawings', it does say 'ALL DRAWINGS TO BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH ENGINEERS DETAILS'…

Well, still not connected. The fact is painfully reinforced by a dump sitting in my toilet, which obviously doesn't flush, but I guess someone realized that after the event, and…

There are definately dimensions. The scale is given in the title block and also in the drawing itself. The section Y-Y is scaled 1:50@A3 and additionally there are dimensions specified…

I don't think I can do that anymore, because the ceiling plaster and electrics are done, so I can't see the beams. I only really noticed this issue recently as…

Well, I've measured the piers, the width of them (with render on) is 900. The distance between the outside of them is 1670. I remember that the render is meant…

Hmm, I hadn't considered that it was the pier setout. They had built the left one in the wrong spot and knocked it down to rebuild it - given that,…

Here is a couple more for good measure.

Here is the ground floor plan showing the roof extents, as well as the section that details how the gutter is meant to be placed, and a picture showing the…

That's a good question.
We received a progress payment request that said 'Roof cover', however our roof had not been completed, there were entire sections of roof that had not been…

My roof is not built as designed. There is a 64 course pillar on the front elevation of my house, and the roof gutter is meant to end 190mm inset…

I just find it amazing to have found out the supervisor forgot to order the prelay of the stormwater drainage. Nothing was installed at all when the stormwater guys rocked…

The soakwells were included in the contract, although the working drawings did not have a stormwater piping plan laid out and nowhere on the drawings can I find any prelay…

Not that I'm aware of, it's just one thickness from edge to edge. I called the supervisor and asked if he would replace the grano and prelay the pipe properly…

Yes, I'm in WA. I'll have to check that out with the building commission, thanks for the advice. I have also called the building inspector and asked him to call…

Well, this week has come and gone and my water is still not connected. I am wondering if I will move into my house before the water is connected at…

I have booked one to do a final inspection, I didn't really have the budget to have them do inspections at each stage, but looking back, it may have saved…

Hi, I recently asked my supervisor if it was okay to have my pool installed because I was given a practical completion date of 'mid march'. I asked if it…

I've got another shot of the other hole they tried to dig.
The plumber told me the first hole (on the left) they couldn't get all the way through because they…

I managed to get some photos up:
One side of the slab:
A closer look:
The other side of the slab:

Our house is almost completed (the contract ends in a month or so) which is very exciting, but there is one thing that has me worried. Actually there are lots,…
