Patrick,

1. I agree to the cost for the foam above 602.

2.  I don’t understand your confirmation  of “Ken’s point.”

Ken stated “After new inspection the foam will be needed as they need to match both sides……..” (the ambiguity here is it sounds as though the foam is to go over not only apartment 602, but apartment 601 as well).  Please clarify as no foam is to go over the podium and steps over each apartment.

3. Please consider also what PT have recommended re the BBQ and cleaning of the drain (your email Patrick of Oct24, 2017).  Let’s get PT to quote on this also, however, not to hold up the other works in the meantime:

“The doors below the BBQ is of concern as they do not seal adequately, which could let water into the enclosed cabinets under the BBQ, photos attached. >From my site inspections we do not believe this a pressing issue, as we are unsure if water enters the area under the BBQ during rain events.

The SC could consider;
Install seals around the door – Can be included as a variation by Prestech or through engagement of another contractor after the completion of this work (recommended)
Screed area to create a fall to a drainage point and waterproof the internal of the BBQ area

As previously discussed, the SC also need to consider cleaning the blocked drainage on the terrace.”

Importance: High

Dear Committee,

See responses to multiple questions below and attached –

  1.  The foam insulation is not required on Unit 601’s side of the rectification work as the terrace above Unit 601 is not being rectified, only the podium and planter boxes. It was only agreed to do this amount of rectification work above Unit 601. This confirms your attached point Ken!

  1.  At this stage the builder doesn’t believe there should be any further variations but cannot 100% confirm this. This is the reason the builder has been waiting on approval of this final variation before they recommence the rectification work.

If there are no further comments or questions before 1:00pm Tuesday 31st October 2017, I will approve the final variation and ask for a recommencement date of the required Level 7 rectification.

Sorry to put this in two emails. Also Patrick do we have any choice with not fitting insulation at all on 602 as it's existing dont we need to have a special resolution to change it.  If that's the case the only real question is do we do same on 601. Am i reading this situation correctly.

Matt.

Dear Committee,

As there is some ambiguity in the below email responses, can I please ask for each Committee Member to respond yes or not the below request –

  1.  Please confirm approval for both sides to have the foam installed at the cost of the Owners Corporation?

I understand that some Committee Members are of the belief that Preservation Technologies should absorb the cost but I have confirmed with Strata Engineering Solutions that this will, not be the  case and until a decision is provided on the above question work will not recommence.

Please provide an urgent response to the above query?

Dear Patrick,

Please proceed to get Preservation Technologies to recommence the works as soon as possible and advise a date when they will start. After last night’s downpour I have continual water dripping through from level 7 onto my terrace.

The foam is a moot point.  When each company was asked to provide us with a quote they each allowed a contingency for on the spot additional items.  They could not have possibly known what was under the tiles.  They were not asked to pull up a tile to determine this.

I would advise the EC that this matter has dragged on again too long and I have no hesitation in going back to the Tribunal asap to get the works completed.  This time the Tribunal will frown on a third order having to be raised to have the works completed. In addition, the EC will receive an enormous fine.

Hi all,

Sorry for the delay. Just back from Melbourne.

I have checked the roof and it seems to be draining well after the big storm overnight, so thats good news.

After new inspection the foam will be needed as they need to match both sides and the height issues are obvious.

However, they quoted for the job and should have known that the insulation was there in the first place so they should absorb that cost.

Additionally they knew this 3 months ago when they pulled up the tiles and didn’t bring it up then so not impressed.

It is crazy that no work at all is being done still with no start or end in sight.

I hope they are not being paid in advance as they seen to not care about completing this job.

In short lets get this done and finished.

Regards,

Ken and Cathy

Hi Patrick/All
 That's a lot of info thanks.  Here's my comments/votes on the bellow.

1. I think it would be best to make both 601 & 602 the same as they seem to be effected by the same issues. To that end I would like to at least see the quote for both.

2. Given that the BBQ area must be stay or special resolution passed. I think best to leave to we are finished and then get a quote to put some rubber seals on the doors and a lock so it can not be opened. There is nothing in that area that BBQ users need to access.  I know some would like the BBQ removed. But as that is not in the EC's power lets leave that debate for the appropriate time.

3. I will leave Cathy and Ken to comment on the break down.

Matt.

Dear Committee,

  1.  I have been provided with the attached report, which includes 1 further variation for the installation of insulation above Unit 602.

I believe this variation requires approval as Unit 602 had such insulation and the Owners Corporation are required to repair and amanitin the current common property, being the insulation, with the details and the cost below –

The variation cost to supply and install Kingspan XPS N 300 Insulation (50mm) to terrace area only above unit 602 would be $5200 <tel:+445200> + GST.

This was not initially included in the initial scope as we were not aware there was insulation under the tiles. Re-installing insulation above unit 602 is recommended to control the internal temperature.

Since the podium and steps previously did not have any insulation we will not be placing insulation on those areas. Therefore the quote above is only for the terrace area above unit 602.

Please approve the above variation so that Preservation Technologies can recommence the rectification and complete this prior to the Christmas break?

Please also advise if you would like such insulation installed above unit 601 and I can obtain a quote for this variation?

  1.  See the below comments in relation to works that will be required to seal the BBQ area, that I can request a quote from Preservation Technologies, Please advise if you would like Preservation Technologies to quote on this as well as cleaning the blocked drainage on the Terrace which is requiem or would you like Darren to organise?

The doors below the BBQ is of concern as they do not seal adequately, which could let water into the enclosed cabinets under the BBQ, photos attached. >From my site inspections we do not believe this a pressing issue, as we are unsure if water enters the area under the BBQ during rain events.

The SC could consider;

Screed area to create a fall to a drainage point and waterproof the internal of the BBQ area

As previously discussed, the SC also need to consider cleaning the blocked drainage on the terrace.

  1.  Finally, please see the breakdown of cost and materials for the waterproofing of the terraces above both Unit 601 & 5602 that was requested at the AGM for your information. No action on this matter is required!
