The Importance of Construction Progress Inspections π π§π
At Bestwest Building, we take pride in ensuring your dream home becomes a reality with our Construction Progress Inspections. Recently, during a first-floor brickwork inspection on a 2-story home, we discovered a critical issue that needed immediate attention.
π§±π Here’s what we found:
π« Non-Compliant Brickwork Height π«
The external walls were built higher than the approved plans/drawings. The stipulated distance between the top of the external facing/rendered walls and the suspended slab was 30 courses (62 courses in total). However, we observed that these external walls were set at 32 courses (64 courses in total).

πͺ Misaligned Window Positions πͺ
As a result of the higher brickwork, the windows on the first floor were positioned incorrectly. The head height of the windows was supposed to be 27 courses, but they were installed at 29 courses. A spot check in the Master Room confirmed that the sill height was also 2 courses higher than specified.
