Thanks again, Lunar.
That roughly corresponds to 37 weeks. So they put 7 weeks down to inclement weather? They only have 30 weeks to build, don't they? How many days…

Thanks, lunar. This is why it is all so confusing. The tender and 'smart' inclusions list (2013) clearly states - R3.0 to ceilings (except for Alfresco and garage). If…

For those in the know, is it standard practice to place insulation batts in the joists separating ground floor from first floor. SS said that the insulation is complete…

Hi Guys,
Just thought I would update everyone on my structural issues with steel beams. I posted on this forum some time back that the steal beams over the leisure/kitchen…

Ok, Thanks, Pixi and Kishii. I will point this out when I get an inspector.

Knowitall,
While the floorboards are designed to withstand rain for 3 months, we quickly found out, along with everyone else building a double storey in this rain, that the floor…

They even used contract clauses to make me pay a large…
