Default Re: Measure Twice, Cut Once

A bit topical today, given the other “bodgy builder” thread that’s come up.
Photo showing misaligned setdown to the slab edge where the building stops and patio starts. The outer bricks should be sitting on the lower level. In theory this is OK as built, in reality it wicks water into the house floor.

The contractors are today demolishing a couple of internal walls and recutting a stairwell opening in a ground floor slab. I’ve not seen a build with actual plans, have so many hiccups or errors before. No further violence on site, but it has come close a few times.

This rate of disarray is usually the province of blonde beach women who think they can run a build or reno (it’s never going to end well)...
