Huge engineering problem to resolve
9 years ago
Now the problem is 2 fold.
1. the green columns sit outside of the line of the support beam by 50mm, this section was going to be boxed in but not able to now as the box section would protrude past rear wall section.
2. is if we try and move columns in more, it will create even straighter look which defeats the design look.
Biggest problem now is all cementing, piers and plates that columns where to be welded to are now in the ground and set at wrong distance as shown in green.
And one more thing we have to raise FFL between 100-200mm because of extra height in change of ub from 460mm to 530mm.
Thought from professionals only please.

What could Australian homes learn from the rest of the world?
Comments (135)I'm amazed that this discussion has carried forward for nearly two years! In that time I have moved to another coastal area (cooler climate and better proximity to children) and this time found most of the discussion still rings true. Finding another home here was an incredibly frustrating journey made all the worse by a mad investor rush in the area just when we arrived to start our home search. That search took the best part of six months and in the end there would only be three or four houses to choose from in any week. Result? A rushed purchase, a desperately inadequate building inspection and failure on my part to notice poor bathroom tiling, shortage of closet and storage pace, just how small the lounge room really was, and etc. I disappointed myself because I had let the pressures beat me and now we are trying to resolve all of these issues in a home designed and built by one of this states most respected project home builders 25 years ago. Having now studied the floor plan with more care I realise it was put together (designed) in modular fashion - most bedrooms have similar dimensions and the living areas are all approximately the same size as if the designer simply juggled three boxes of one size and four of another size and then worked out traffic flow. Then he must have thrown them all in the air to see how they would land and that was design number two! And etc and so on. This house aside, we looked at a great many during the six months because we had to broaden our search above and below budget trying to find something. There were massive termite problems, leaky roofs, asbestos galore, gazzumping at every turn, almost all but the most expensive properties suffered at least one substantial fail for the most basic of needs and to top it off the best home in our price range just happened to be built on flood prone land - approved by council who put the flood signs up less than five years earlier. We live and learn. Then there were the real estate agents, but that would take another two years and I doubt the internet has enough free page space available!!!

Comments (53)Hi dreamer, thanks for the suggestion. Im wondering though, how do I treat the junction between the vanity and the fixed panel of the shower screen? The diagram I uploaded above leaves out the shower head, so there will in fact be a shower-over-bath in the above scenario, with a fixed panel adjacent the bath. If I have the vanity hard up against the bath, I'll need to tile the side of the vanity, no?...See MoreKarndean flooring huge mistake
Comments (20)I’m so frustrated. I have the exact same problem except my rep says HE HAS NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. I’m just heartsick I wasted so much money on this floor. It started with big gapping problems right away, and what seemed like the finish coming off, and it looking dirty and footprints etc. It took about 14 months to get the claim back and Karndean said the installer “misrepresented” what underpayment was used. I also found out -14 months after my initial claim-that the dirty scuff marks was not part of my original claim. They say I have to make a new claim even though Jeremy the Karndean rep discussed the appearance with the distributor, Tri States flooring. No one let me look at the claim to make sure it has all the information. I am also not allowed to see any factory test results or any other type of information pertinent to my claim. They just tell me everything checked out on their end and it is my housekeeping skills that have caused a film to develop on my floor. I have only used their products or water and Norwex cloths. It is very disheartening to constantly have a dirty scruffy looking floor in a beautiful new kitchen I have waited my whole life floor. I truly regret not reading the reviews , I regret not using a real wood or ceramic product. For buying top of the line products I got factory seconds....See MoreSuggestions with builder problems
Comments (29)I am in the middle of a renovation and we have had no schedule. Because we continued to live in part of the home(its just a big add on) and work from home rules; we've watched it happen and can see when works occur is really hard to predict. Jobs got shuffled depending on availability of materials and subcontractors. The design, like yours was flawed. So while the stud walls going up was fast, building the verandah was very slow at first, as the builders had to work out exactly how they'd do it, then calculate angles. It sped up after that, but slowed as they worked out other tricky bits. I can see any schedule they might have devised would be thrown out after two weeks. Too many things are out of their control....See More- 9 years agolast modified: 9 years ago

Our inspiration came from this house in japan
Hear what your saying, but engineer change it without notify the design team. As for it moving i doubt it with the amount of steel and concrete in the ground. Piers under columns go down 8m and 800mm wide. The pad is 4m*2m*2m
We had 50 degrees and she made 30 ruining concept look.
