Have you formally rejected his offer?

It could come under the definition of Unfair Contract Term in the ACCC. Have a look and ask your solicitor.

An 'of interest' comment,,, a neatly cut round hole(s) can strengthen many structures as aeronautic and many other engineers will attest but neat and well positioned holes are much different…

It looks weird but the black grate doesn't look like an ORG.
They have also concreted above the Damp Proof Course.

Have a look at the 'height' of the weep hole above the finished surface.
What is the white thing to the right of the black grate and what type of drain…

Also check for cost cutting inferior "Performance Solutions", inadequate liquidated damages and unfair contract conditions. Also do what Joker suggested.

Thanks for that photo.
Although it is incidental to the non compliance, I wouldn't be too happy with the path's surface finish either.

Ok, the ag pipe was buried under the original concrete driveway in a trench. I wrongly assumed from earlier text that it was encased in the original concrete.
The new…

It would look ridiculous and would not satisfy what was originally agreed.
Do you know how close to the wall the ag pipe is?
The interim course of action would be…

It sounds like a programming issue. If you send a message to Homeone, I am sure that the issue will be discussed with the programmer.

It all helps.
You have to shake your head (and maybe laugh) at some of the persistent ones, fake university degrees, fake passports and fake currency come up regularly.
I love how…

Do you guys know how to report spam?
There are 3 dots at the bottom right hand corner. Clicking them will bring up a menu, just click on Report Post and…

The BCA is Parts 1 & 2 of the National Construction Code (NCC) and the Plumbing Code of Australia (PCA) is Part 3 of the NCC.
The new 2019 NCC came…

And with respect and gratitude for providing them with work they need to make a living.

This rings the bells.

It would make a good media story. It is rare for customers to attain regulatory resolution due to most persons being financially vulnerable when battling builders only made necessary because…

You might be surprised at how many builders go into liquidation every year. One of Bill Shorten's election promises is to stop phoenixing.

I have a very simple tank cleaner design that is like a vacuum head that you push slowly over the floor and it works well. In time I will have…

The total cross sectional area of the holes (suction velocity) is vital to match the discharge flow rate plus you have to have a vacuum break at the top of…

They are not available on the website because they are manufactured in a family die as two non matching caps and if I sell them, I am left with an…

The smaller stormwater pipe requires a minimum 1:100 slope because it must drain and also flush debris. While the pipe will be considered to be part of the stormwater system…

It sounds like you bought it as an established house. If so, then I would think that the handover included any faults that occurred during the seller's ownership but this…

This is not my area of expertise but my understanding is the same as yours. Someone else is bound to confirm or otherwise. Governance is very poor in Vic. How…

The recent thread below is a prime example of the extent of non compliance because architects, the builder, site supervisor, plumber, building surveyor etc did not know a basic regulation.

A lot of architects, builders and tradepersons do not know all of the regulations or understand the applicable Hierarchy. Homeone is rife with such examples.

Did they also give you the CSIRO Guide To Foundation And Slab Maintenance? Unless it has been recently updated, it advises of a non compliant slope away from the building…

The Guide is not legislated...it has no legal standing. If you make a complaint, you have to quote the NCC or the NCC reference to the appropriate Standard.
In some instances,…
