Patrick and Darren

 

I tried to call you both late this afternoon but you had gone.  I have left a message for Darren.

 

Ref point 1 below.  I now have water dripping from one of the lights in my living room (the main room).  I have been so concerned about the amount of water we’ve had lying above on the common area after the recent storms.  

 

Darren, would you urgently contact me re the above.

Dear EC,

 

Western Terrace Tile Repairs

Building Improvement Restoration Services (BRIS) conducted a site inspection on Tuesday 25th July. They are interested in the repair works including Home Building Warranty Insurance. Part of the works will include addressing the water ingress into the balcony awning structure spanning Apt 601 & 602. We await their works proposal.

 

It will be good to finally enjoy my terrace again, once the water situation from above is completely repaired.  Great also that the tiles on level 7 west will be correctly repaired with joint expansion areas as detailed must happen ( by two of the earlier contractors).

 

Window Stain Removal

BFMS have provided a quotation to repair a small section of cracked render and hand polish the stains of each section of glass below both podiums. Total - $5,000.00 + GST. Awaiting EC approval to proceed.

 

You have my approval.

.

Pooling Water P4

We have managed to get Rescom back onsite and they advised no ground water was identified at the time. We have provided them with additional photo evidence. Awaiting their response. 

 

If we can’t stop the groundwater then the next best option is to catch it and drain it to the stormwater pit. DWRS have provided a quotation to cut a 40mm channel from the base of the entry ramp down to the stormwater pit. Please see the attached for reference. The section in red will have blue metal and the green section will contain a drainage pipe which will be resealed back to a flush finish once installed. Total - $6,500.00 + GST. Please advise if the committee wishes to proceed with this option.

 

You have my approval to proceed with the new channel cutting asap.

 

If you have any questions, please let me know. Thanks

 

Kind regards,

 

Darren Vignes

Good morning Darren,

 

1.	Further to my various emails below and after I ran into you on William Street a couple of weeks ago, please advise if you have contacted BIRS yet (Patrick’s email of May 28 below) in order to request an on site visit and quote from them.  The level 7 tiles on the west side continue to rise up.

 

2.	You mentioned when I saw you that you were going to contact the kitchen window cleaner people again for me because I still have a lot of stains after their washing/acid clean.  When can I expect a call from them?  I haven’t had a call yet. Do I have to call them???

 

3.	Finally, the water in my parking space and one of the neighbours parking spaces – an update on this please.  The water area is still large and growing daily.  When do the works start?

 

Regards,

Craig Laforest

Hi Matt,

 

This matter is for fixing the hogged tiles above 601.

Yes, the damage can’t be patched as per Costin Roe recommendation Options 1 or 2. Cracking of the tile bed has occurred due to water penetration causing movement of the insulation foam beneath the tile bed. Option 3 was to remove all and reinstate new including a recommendation to replace the waterproofing membrane at the same time.

 

This is only a cost for project Management the final cost is still yet to be determined but likely to be $40 ~ 60k 

The cost is for review of the scope of works, tender management of 3 qualified contractors including Pres. Tech (to use as comparison) and contract preparation. Project management is a percentage of the total works sum. Remedial Building have included this in their proposal based on a 70K total works estimate.

 

Would it be better for us to use Preservation Tech for the final work because of warranty reasons with the existing work?

Definitely, if an issue arises within the warranty period it will be difficult to place the blame with two contractors having worked on the same area.

 

Looks like cheapest quote is Remedial Building given there management fee is included.

Agreed.

 

Are we saying we have not been able to find an independent builder and need to use an engineering firm to manage it. 

The contractors I have approached are reluctant to take on the work due to the potential warranty issues previously discussed. Pres Tech will only consider the works if an independent consult is engaged to mediate between the two parties.

 

Kind regards,
