Day 91 (9th Aug 2011) - Lockup Inspection

We had our Lockup stage inspection (Pre-plaster inspection) this afternoon.

This time we hire another inspector to do the inspection. This inspector has many years experience in house inspection and he's very famous in some building forums. When I called him, he suggested that we should have the pre-plaster inspection instead of the lockup inspection. Some electrician drill holes through timber inappropriately that might damaging the frame works. So we hold the inspection until our SS told us the electricity, plumbing n insulation are done. 

This inspector is very detail concerned. It took one and half hour to complete the inspection. He told us BB did a very good job and he's amazed. BB uses good quality timber for the frames, every room's size is correct, BB does many detail works while other builders don't care about small things. In conclusion, our inspector rated our house's quality as in top 10% based on all his past inspections. I just wanna to thank all the workers and our lovely lovely SS!! Our SS communicated with the inspector this time and walked with him all the way through. It's much easier for us cuz they can understand each other's 'construction related words'. Nothing major problems were found, just some smalls things need to be modified. Yah~~~

I took some photos while inspecting. 

Got Response on Frame Inspection

After 2 weeks of the inspection, we got response from BB on our frame inspection report. BB promised to fixed all the items on the report, couldn't be happier! Some of the problems already been fixed and some of them will be completed in the following week. When all items fixed, SS will walk us through to show what they've done.

Ww've paid for the 2nd stage - Frame and now still waiting for some progress on Lockup stage. Hmmmm, waiting~~~~~~~~~~

Btw, the weather is changing all the time!!!! Rainy, sunny, windy and cloudy in one day, such a messy!  Plus, there were mini-quakes on Tue, geeeeze~

Had First Inspection Today

Got an inspector to come to check our frame this morning, found some problems. The inspector is patient and nice. It took about an hour to go through all the studs. Once I got his report I will share the details here. Overall, he said BB did a good job. Glad to hear that and thanks to all the workers & SS!!! Our SS is also there. This is one of BB's rules that inspection has to make appointment with SS. But it's awkward to have both inspector and SS on the site with no conversation between each other. Apparently SS don't wanna someone to judge their works' quality while the inspector just wanna do the inspection alone. Moreover, we don't have a topic that could make them talk to each other. However, it's funny to have the moment of silence. I enjoyed it (:

BTW, we got a call from our liason today and told us BB has monitored my Blog. We should not go into the house without BB permission or appointment, especially we should not climb to the 1st floor under the concern of our safety. If we keep doing this BB could stop the construction and make some legal actions. I think she's right, so I guess no more details pics apart from each inspection time. Well, now writing this Blog is getting weird cuz I know my builder is watching it, that gives me goose bump. At the same time, I'm happy to know that there are more 'followers', lolz~

One more thing that I forgot to mention is our main bricks are delayed, should hear some updates next week.

Anyway, so far so good.
