Because we publish only real photographs from our own jobs, and our Rockbank inspections have not yet been added to the photo library. Rather than use stock images or leave the pages bare, every photograph comes from a job in a neighbouring estate and the caption names where it was taken.
Yes, regularly. The reviews on this page are all from Rockbank clients. It is the photograph library that is behind, not the coverage.
AS 4349.1 for pre-purchase, AS 4349.3 for timber pests, AS 2870 for slabs, AS 1684 for framing, AS 3740 for wet areas, together with the NCC and the Guide to Standards and Tolerances 2015.
Yes. Aintree, Deanside, Thornhill Park, Fraser Rise, Plumpton and Melton South all sit on the same run.
Frame and pre-handover at a minimum. Slab pre-pour next, because the vapour barrier and reinforcement problems we see in this corridor cannot be corrected once concrete is placed.
The defect report exists so that you and the builder have a shared list to work from. The Building and Plumbing Commission dispute service and VCAT need an expert witness report drawn to the VCAT practice note.
Yes, and on a frame or slab inspection it is worth doing, because everything is still open to view.
Structural items cite the engineering drawing and finish items cite a tolerance, so the discussion moves onto a document.
Yes. A reinspection marks off each original item and gives you a second dated record.
