21 May 2011 - day 66 Frame stage bill

Planned to mow at the site, but it was shower in the morning. Just wait till around 10 then went to the site. While waiting shower to stop, open email and there was an email from builder's office, bill for frame stage.

Super express bill, the email sent at 16.58 friday 20 May 2011 ask payment asap.

Ok let's check at the site and get some images:

Well I can say 95% done, noted down several issues:
1. The wall bracing haven't finished yet.
    The ply bracing panel have been put down all, but the galvanised steel angle haven't been there.
2. No speed brace at the roof yet.
    Alot of noggins on the roof's frame haven't been put yet

3. Missing noggins such as:

1 at left hand side of sliding door at kitchen


1 at left hand side of window in kitchen


2 at right hand side wall of garage near door


1 at left hand side of window at study


 2 at left hand side of window at media room


 1 at middle of wall between lounge and media


2 at left hand side of sliding door in bed 1



 upper frame of door at ensuite to 210 cm, also door height at the toilet


4. Some frames above garage door and stacker door haven't been put yet




5. queries:
    a.  for upside down frame at bathroom towards backyard

    b. what is the island marks at all ply bracing panel
    c. there are about 4 untreated panel/post in the frames (1 post at bathroom, 1 post at media, corner of bed 4, roof plank at media, roof plank at gangway and some at roof trusses)
    d. need more nails on this bracing panel
    e. uncomplete bolts at stacker door post.


Probably it is common practice in the industry that once the engineer approved the stage even with certain items need to be dones first, they issued the bill to the client.
Just like the slab stage, got the bill at 10 am even the concreter just started the work at 09.00.

Looking at the above notes, well they can do all of it by monday and the bill should be issued on Monday, 24 May 2011, not Friday 20 May 2011.

I planned to have an independent surveyor for frame stage and will email the office tomorrow.

Notice also today that facia and gutter have been delivered to site, off white colour.
