• Builders Quote Request #426407

Ming requested 3 quotes from Builders in Seaholme

  I list the jobs requiring to be done below. I also add details to explain each work further below.

Cost: I pay fairly. Because the laundry needs to be renovated, so the estimate won't work here. I am happy to hear your plan and your quote.

Timeline: I am flexible, though I hope the work commence as soon as you can. (The property is vacant so you can commerce work any time.)

Please contact me and come to have a look at my house and give me a general quote.

YOu will be helping to return a well-maintained coastline 1950s weatherboard house to its full glory (while getting paid fairly)!! You will also have the opportunity to have some interesting detective work, not boring ones :)

Job 1: the dampness sub-floor.

This is the most important work.

Here is summary on issue from building inspection report by a very experienced architect.
This timber house on brick piers is in a reasonable condition from its age, with the main concern being the dampnes under the building, and the effect on the pier.

The architect's solution is:
a) Find and replace blocked drains and replaced with drainer with CCTV camera inspection capability. Because there is no visual way of determining if there are any wash-outs underground around the drains.
b) to drill 15x10 holes every 1.2 cm around the concrete base surrounding the house to improve air vendilation.

The inspection report on dampness has much more details on the issue. I can provide you the whole upon your visit.
