Thanks for your reply. I asked Clarendon how we get it and in response they sent us back the certificate which they have already done. We got ours today. Also…

Our build is almost finished and we are now in the process of getting Interim Occupation Certificate. Apparently we need to provide Surveyors Certificate and have some questions.
1) What is…

I don't have a private inspector.
They've already fixed the ceiling inside. I was thinking it sagged due to the weight of tiles but if your ceiling sagged with colour bond…

Not exactly. Site Manager showed me the sagged truss in the ceiling. He said that timber probably just wasn't strong.

Hi all, couple of trusses sagged and ceiling in a bedroom bulged from the right hand side wall to almost the middle of the house. Trusses have been fixed…

That's correct, it meets their minimum standards in NSW. Standards changed in 2010. Until then, all shower walls needed to waterproofed up to 1800mm. I wonder why would the standard…

That's exactly right. Waterproofing is an integral part and must be ensured that it's superior quality rather than bare minimum. It's not they have to go out of their way…

Thanks for the photos. Spoke with the site manager and he said don't have to do all the walls. It's been approved and certified.

That's interesting. I'll raise it with the site manager and see.
I noticed your walls and ceiling corners are sealed but our aren't. We were told it's because we got full…

How did you go with waterproofing? We don't have any waterproofing on the walls. Just the floor and joints. Was thinking they will complete it but tiles were delivered this…

Thanks Wentworth33, it's too late for pre-lining. Our walls are on undercoat was done a couple of days ago. I'll call up a company and find out what their process…

Hi fellas, need information about getting a private inspector. Was reading up and some people recommend it. We will probably move in just before Christmas. Haven't had any independent inspection…

Do you mean like this?

Thank you and wentworth33.
I did get sarking in walls as well as roof. Was just curious because wall sarking wasn't mentioned in any of the paperwork. Roof sarking is included…

Do you know if sarking in walls is mandatory in NSW? Do you know of anyone who didn't get it?

That's good to hear. We are using them too for plantation shutters.
Did you get Hinged or Pivot? Thanks.

Hi all,
Due to a bricklayer shortage apparently, our SS decided our roof tiles will go on first.
Has anyone had it this way, roof tiles then bricks?
Also, has anyone…

Slab done already.

Excited to see the work started on our land. They're doing the Piering today.

I agree with that.
I got construction certificate and they should be on site excavating very soon. Hopefully we'll get a good site manger and he contracts good tradies. Clarendon has…

I paid around the same for full height tiles in all 3 bathrooms as well. But it was included in the tender. Just upgraded 30x60 at Tile Direct.

You must have chosen rectified tiles, they're expensive. We just chose cheapest 600x600
The rest does seem expensive but I had external quotes that we…
