Building a new home in Rockbank VIC
Rockbank is estate housing built to a schedule, with the window between a stage finishing and the next trade covering it measured in days. What our inspectors record across this corridor concentrates at slab and frame, and it is consistently the kind of thing that looks finished but is not doing its job: strap bracing untensioned, anchors omitted, a girder truss bearing on nothing.

Strap bracing only works once tensioned. Fitted loose it contributes nothing.
Top plate anchors are nominated on the engineering at specific points.
A girder truss carries other trusses, so its bearing point matters more than most.
The vapour barrier must run beneath the whole slab with punctures sealed.
Send the report the day it arrives, while a fix is still an hour's work.
