Im sure it didnt cost us $3600 last time. Only issue we may have is if the plumbers report is not detailed enough to satisfy the engineers. So I would perhaps say that the $2k bit might need to be the plumber but the $1600 report part might still need to be done by the engineers. In any case there's nothing stopping us agreeing to the rest as we are only agreeing as far as I will then have to go and see if Arnold Agrees. It's a BMC matter so im just seeking everyone's approval before going ahead.

Although they mentioned spalling, they referred to the steel angle which is on the edges of the render. That's hardly concrete cancer. Let's not over-dramatise this. It's mostly cosmetic; there's no evidence of the structure of the building being compromised. There is no exposed steel reinforcement in the slabs, which is what most people call concrete cancer. It's worth noting that these emails form part of the strata record and directly affect the prices in the building. It's up to us as EC members to take a cool head and not adversely affect peoples' apartment values. Throwing words like concrete cancer around does little other than lower our property values. Paul sent an email recently outlining this, but it seems to have fallen on deaf ears.<br><br>We are all aware of the problems with the render; that is why we agreed to get the report.

Since concrete is porous, it can absorb water and salt air very easily, which corrodes the steel inside. This process is what gives a structure concrete cancer. When water is absorbed through the concrete, along with salt air (which the report mentioned), the result is concrete cancer. When the cancer appears, it's because the steel inside the concrete, expands. When it expands, it cracks the concrete. I have it in numerous areas on my deck and on the window ledges. Rusting steel angles are considered concrete cancer. We do not have render inside the concrete. We have steel, which is exposed in many places.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>We must attack this problem ASAP.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>Cheers,<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>Craig<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><br>----- Original Message -----<o:p></o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;background:#E4E4E4'><b><span style='color:black'>From:</span></b><o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;background:#E4E4E4'><a href="mailto:matt@perkins.id.au">matt@perkins.id.au</a><o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'> <o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><b>To:</b><o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>"kylie Curtis" <<a href="mailto:kyliemcurtis@yahoo.com">kyliemcurtis@yahoo.com</a>><o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><b>Cc:</b><o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>"<a href="mailto:ec@mailman.perkins.id.au">ec@mailman.perkins.id.au</a>" <<a href="mailto:ec@mailman.perkins.id.au">ec@mailman.perkins.id.au</a>><o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><b>Sent:</b><o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>Fri, 15 Dec 2023 15:54:55 +1100<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><b>Subject:</b><o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Re: [200WILLIAM-EC SP67851] Building report<o:p></o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>Hi Kylie. <br> No I have requested a quote to create a scope of work.
