if it is slab on ground it should be kept visible as a termite barrier, is this what you mean?

the cornice is a worry, that is generally a very strong joint unless the cornice cement was already half set when used or the house is moving more than it…

the last photo is a door jamb, the architrave needs to be fitted

the bricks come in fixed sizes so nothing to do with the brickie, The window placement is fine. Your SS is correct, your are worrying unnecessarily

Yes NCC requirement, window ventilation 5% of floor area or 10% for light transmission. It can be borrowed from an adjacent room also.

Isn’t the purpose to allow each owner to build on the real boundary while still being 900mm from the easement boundary hence it can be a complying development as it…

sounds fine, we’re doing this now, think carefully about staying there, pretty noisy and can make access difficult

Unfortunately solar access is more about your design and block location, as long as they build within standard setbacks, not much you can object to. Make sure you optimise your…

They are fobbing you off to make life easier. It is pretty standard for a custom build, not sure about a display home. We just did it by ripping the…

have you looked into dincel?

...insulation is also to keep the cold water cold, I think that is in the As3500 now, best wait till a plumber responds!

Yep should be fine, better than a massive hole in the studs. The insulation is to prevent heat loss not to protect the timber.

Previously it was common to lay tiles on a fresh mortar bed, often in a slurry of neat cement.

if it’s only an attic you probably won’t need to underpin, especially if it is masonry and in good condition as the footing has proven to be adequate. This is…

Is it a cracked brick wall? Is it loadbearing? might be easier to demolish and rebuild in timber, otherwise rip up floor to access ground and mass concrete underpin, none…

you have to trusses between the floors, you have I-joists. A wall is considered load bearing if it supports a roof load.
