Hi Stephen

Just to keep you up to speed with the above job

I have been on site today and the whole of the extension works other than the steel goal post has been removed

The roof has been striped and currently has felt and battens only

No sure if you have been on site since our last meeting with the client but all our worst fears were realised when the work was removed from site

I have agreed that the existing foundations can be increased in thickness with the provision of dowel bars in to the top resin fixed into the concrete and a layer of A252 Mesh over the whole of the foundation

The foundations to the goal post arrangement have been recast and look much better

One had been cast over the manhole as thought

Beyond belief what the last contractor did

New contractors on site Phoenix seem better and are cooperating with us

I will keep you informed of progress and trust the same from yourselves

Have a good holiday

We finish at 1200 tomorrow back on the 6th January

Kind regards

James


Kind Regards

Site meeting with client and agent and structural engineer

Outlined my concerns yo all 're the state if the works in site

Agent and structural engineer in agreement that works on site in no way demonstrate compliancecwith building regulations in any way

Obviously the works are not fit for purpose and legal action has commenced from the client to the builder

Following additional works noted on site

Mortar sample angle is recd done by client sample fails tovacjievecany classification so serious fail

Wall ties not frewuentvenough in the cavity wall construction

Hard-core to dub floor dips chalk poor quality and has started to turn to mush under foot due to prolonged exposure to elements

The steel coloum have been provided with inadequate foundations one cast on top of the existing msn hole on ditevexposed by clients father structurally inadequate as confirmed by engineer on site

All points noted on previous inspection agreed as valid issues by all concerned

Loft conversion steel frame not oprprn for inspection when seen weld not suitable

Unable to feryfi or otherwise the presence if the required ridge beam

Insulation jbsdequatw to walls and roof of the loft

Hesdroomninadequste to thevstsircase

In general the opinion of all professionals in sitecwas that the works were so poor that demolition and rebuild were the only options available to ensure compliance with regulations

To write to the client copy in all concerned with my response following today's meeting

Works have progressed on site on the side and rear extension without the benefit of inspection by jabai no requests for inspections have been recd from either the builder or the contra tor

Walking to side extension at eaves level rear extension difficult to access burnt steelwork to support the first floor can be seen in position
