Good stuff Steve and Mrs Steve for putting her mark on the slab.

Big slab what size is it? What's with the plumbing in pic one on the edge of the slab, not straight and not inside the slab?

I have an update from my end.

All work has stopped, site is now closed. Work Cover paid a visit today and closed the site down because of unsafe working conditions.

No work can be carried out until a Engineer and Geo Tech report is done.

The work cover man was nice and knew the street because of an incident about 7 years ago he said when a young labourer died whilst working on some units feel about 6m and hit his head.

that's something I do not want to happen with my build.

Good attitude. Christ though I hope things don't turn into a massive clusterfk on you Pixy. Seems to be heading that way :/ Going to court would be sh!t.

Yeah no idea what that wonky pipe is for, it's just 3 bedrooms on that corner, no plumbing. The bathroom for those rooms is on the right of that same pic, with the rough cutouts in it.

Thanks guys appreciate the support.

There is nothing I can do from my side of things. I paid a builder to do the work so its in his hands.

I am waiting for him to try a flog the bill my way but guess what mate Im not paying a cent. I told the excavation mob that today that im not paying to fix someone else mistake, they didnt say much.

Its there f*@k up and has nothing to do with the scope of work to the house.

Finger crossed this is it and nothing else holds us up.

Just be careful dude. There is usually a provision in the contract to claim if they encounter unsuitable material during excavation.

All well and good to say 'f*ck him' but at the end of the day this dude is building your house so at least hear him out. Don't want him offside before the slab is even started.

Totally agree It's not even the builders fault and I dont blame him, its the excavation company for not waiting for the engineer to turn up and went ahead and started to excavate more causing the issue we have now.

One of the Bosses workers told me yesterday that he is to old school and just doesn't give a f*#k, it shows.

I did my WHS Construction Certificate yesterday or called White Card in NSW.

So I can go on site with worrying about workcover turning up again.

Pretty much nothing happened last week. Monday and Today all the steel work is being done for the garage fall and walls. Pics to come later.

Bricks were said to be getting delivered yesterday to mine. Haven't been up there yet, supposed to wait until the better half finishes up work in the country town and go see it together, arg.

I got the By-Law written by a lawyer for approval by the owners corp at our AGM in January.

It basically gives me a right to use and build in the roof space (common area) and indemnifies the other owners of any future maintenance costs etc.

I went to a pre DA consultation at Council and they said they have no issues.

Fingers crossed (as I'm $2500 down already) the other owners give approval like they said they would in conversations I've had.
