I believe Cornell engineers has a video that covers this. Put a path around the lot is the short answer.

Hopefully no need to worry too much but would be good to look into a solution. Like having the first metre and a bit of soil slope away.
Cornell Engineers have…

Yeah they have used chip bark. Our private inspector noted that it's not graded properly in our report.
I was speaking to another SS from another company and he said…

what?

Maybe it is touching on Performance Solutions but the use of the word "suspected" is let's say strange!

I have actually used this one and they continue to say they don't do any drainage until slab laid. I have 96 day time extension for rain and effects and…

slightly off topic, but would the epoxy be flexible enough to cover the fine cracks, if say it was applied straight after house handover and the house was still settling?

Yup you're spot on - we pair the sensors up as a minimum to give a 'control' and reference point away from the problem area and rather than saying X%…

Oh! Also... when you had the path/concrete redone, did you pay specific attention to the fall of the ground UNDER the concrete too? If that wasn't graded correctly water could…

Yup, as Matt has mentioned, my new business SLABsense (SLABsense.com.au & ) is doing just what…

Thanks for reply, agree with your points, unfortunately it is not only builders and certifiers, we show the edge beam approx. depth to avoid the builder leaving edge beams on…
