Slab Issues - Finally over!

Today, after multiple phone calls and emails, the last one which included some high level managers. I finally received our certificate for the termite treatment to the bath tub recess.

It's been a long 3 months of consistent follow ups with our Slab Supervisor and I am happy that we can 'put to bed' all the open items.

Slab Issues - Meeting with Slab Supervisor

Many of you would have already read my post on Friday regarding the slab 'repairs' that we applied to our home to be. Click here to view it.

I was quite disappointed with the quality of the repairs and as soon as I got home I sent an email to the Slab Supervisor raising my concerns. Even though I did not receive an email back from him. Fortunately, my BC was onto it first thing Monday morning and raised this to management.

Without going into too much detail, this morning I got a call from our Slab Supervisor which was soon followed by PD's head of construction to discuss the issues I have raised. I was already meeting our Site Supervisor on site so the Slab Supervisor agreed to join.

After a lengthy discussion, PD have agreed to 'redo' all the repair work. The repairs will be conducted first thing in the morning and include the following:

• Remove old concrete
• Prep the area for inspection
• Fix the Slab Membrane - Garage corner
• Surveyor to inspect again and provide a report for sign off
• Areas of repair to be boxed and then poured

I am hoping that this time around the repairs are done to that of an acceptable standard. 

A big thank you to all those on the homeone forum that helped me through various posts and PMs. Specifically one member who sent me a message with some great 'ammunition' for the discussion. 

Looking forward to moving on for these issues and continuing our build! 

Slab Repairs

There were 3 issues outstanding on our slab which have now delayed our build. During our inspection today we saw that the slab was being 'prepared' for some repairs. They have added some reo bars in the areas that need repair and will pour some more concrete to the affected areas today or tomorrow. 

 

The reo bars look like they have some surface rust on them and I'm not sure if these repair jobs are done correctly so I will be asking our independent inspector on his thoughts and requesting engineering reports for the work being completed. 

As for the bathtub plumbing recess, we are still waiting for Termguard to come out and treat the area before it is filled with concrete. 

Below are some photos of the slab being prepared for some more concrete. More updates to follow....
