Sikaflex Pro instead of Window Flashing?

After a bit of a delay due to some of the screwpiles hitting rock we're on the move again and the slab is due to go down this week!

Sure am! There's about 6 houses started in the street now.
Your plans look great!

Most of the screwpiles are in, but a few hit rock so they had to get some rock crushing machine back yesterday to break through it so they could the…

That was lucky!
How did you organise the independent inspection? What's it cost? Thanks :)

It's amazing how delayed the starts can be, but I guess that way they control how many they can build efficiently, rather than taking on too many jobs and then…

The subdivision was incomplete when I signed the contract, so the site costs were only an estimate. They've now hit me up with a variation for the additional $9,945…

Thanks Metroid. With the sewer depth confirmed at 9.88m I don't doubt the need for the piles, just the effort by the builder in estimating the site costs originally.…

It seems the sewer depth is correct at 9.88m. Unfortunately I guess the builder was too lazy to make a simple phone call to South East Water to ascertain…

I got the DBYG report back from South East Water but all they sent is a map showing where the sewer is which I already had, no information on…
