Building a new home in Officer VIC
Officer has grown from a small township on the Pakenham line into one of Cardinia's main growth suburbs, with estates such as Arcadia, Timbertop and Kaduna Park. Most new homes here are built by volume builders to tight programs, and the serious findings we record come at frame and lock-up, when structure is about to disappear behind plaster.
Book frame and lock-up as a pair; lock-up is where packing and wedging appear.
Bring the engineering to every stage, because many items are drawing mismatches.
The slab check is about cover, chairs and the vapour barrier running down the beams.
Ask for wet area membranes to be inspected before the tiler is booked.
Forward each report to the supervisor the day it lands.
