Building Dispute Practitioners Society Many Morayfield homes use timber framing and steel beams, and the connections between them are where our frame findings gather. Beam supports built differently from the approved drawing. The hanger holding the timber beam is smaller than the beam itself. A floor joist with a laminated face and a thinned section that rests on a steel post. Fasten loose straps and replace missing bolts at bracing panels.

A standard inspection for a single-level home usually takes one to two hours.
The actual power and data points on site do not match the approved plans. The builder can apply for an engineer's assessment that the work complies, or they can rectify the issue.

We check every exposed framing member again for secure fastening at the lock-up stage.
Beam specifications, the bracing plan, and the structural engineering drawings.
We check the build against the approved plans, not just personal opinion, so any issues are clear.
