Progress Inspection

We had the progress inspection done yesterday and we had a few issues which needs to be addressed prior to the linings scheduled for Friday.

So the report was sent out by the building inspector late last night 10pm.
Issues found from the inspection:
1. top level window sill needs to be redone - not straight
2. some windows require aluminum angles due to cavity b/w bricks
3. fascia near kitchen not at right angles to redo incorrectly installed
4. garage piers and ventilation
5. cables to go behind the metal brace and away from it
6. bird nesting???
7. truss grinder bracket needs bolting
8. manhole too small
9. some windows not closing properly
10. weep holes not cleaned - bricks have not been cleaned for that matter
11. roof lead flashing still incomplete
12. roof tiles incomplete due to scaffolding
13. downpipes incomplete
14. alfresco window loose rubber seal
15. lots of noggins incomplete
16. blocks to be fitted in laundry - recommendation
17. Floor sheeting joints will need to be sanded smooth and some of the loose floor sheets
must be screwed to prevent future movement after carpets fitted
18. Loose ceiling trimmer to be nailed off.
19. slab floor needs cleaning

So the next step is to get these issues resolved prior to the linings going in on Friday. Obviously not everything will get done by Friday but there are too many issues which needs to be fixed first before moving on.

What I don't understand happening is that the insulation went in today prior to these things being fixed or checked.

The electrician went in today to fix some of the issues but these have not been checked to make sure they are ok prior to the insulation going in....

Why put the insulation in when there are so many outstanding items??? NOT HAPPY JAN

Another issue I came across - the electrical box was on the wrong side of the electrical plan
Now obviously when they did the electrical plan no one has bothered to go on site to check where the overhead power line is otherwise they would know not to put it on the other side...so can they just make changes to the plan???? without an amendment schedule??? how do I know if Integral Energy is ok with this and if council is ok with this since this is a corner block we weren't meant to have any utility installation on this facade....

Another issue I picked up and this is tiny, the microwave powerpoint was not included in the electrical plan as this was done before the kitchen selection process. The variation list was updated but not the plan. The electricians apparently have a copy of the final kitchen plan so I'm hoping they pick it up from there.

There's also one thing I was concerned about the electrical plan was the two light switches in the main bedroom - should be one on either side of the bed - so I was wanting to check this to see to make sure they would be positioned were we could reach them....if you are paying almost $10k for your electrical upgrade you want them to be right...also how do they fit the electricals for the stairs when the stairs are not there????

I called my SS this morning to see if he has received the report, he said he is unable to check till this afternoon, you would think he'd want to see this straight away to fix any issues before the linings get put in....we are having another inspection done on Thursday to check what issues have been resolved prior to the linings going in. Again this doesn't leave much time - actually none at all if issues have not been resolved??????

Now I'm on a roll, the bricks were meant to be cleaned yesterday, I really wanted them cleaned prior to the inspection so they can be rectified before we move on to the linings again....

There are too many unfinished jobs -

scaffolding not down
bricks not cleaned
balcony to finished
downpipes incomplete
floors too dirty
and all of the issues found from the progress inspection
