This home
was a ground-built home. That means, they were not built as a SPEC, but
right from the ground up with all options selected by the Buyer. (THERE
ARE NO AUDIO/VIDEO CLIPS TO VIEW BELOW)
This is the same home, a little further
into the construction process. Two of photos below show the doorway as
it was assembled by the workers, first backward...
and then corrected. The finished doorway
is a Spanish archway that access the Spanish arched door.
Once again, the builder's site
superintendent was on site during the construction process. The site
superintendent gave specific written instructions to the work crew by
writing on the slab, all tolerances and construction scenarios for the
doorway... so the site foreman could share these instructions with the
workers. Even after given these instructions, the workers incorrectly
assembled the doorway's orientation.
During the process of demolishing the
improperly assembled doorway, severe damage was caused to the supporting
frame members causing additional demolition to the property, in an effort to
produce a properly constructed doorway.
Again... this is a graphic example
of some of the items that can go wrong when a new home is under construction
and even after the construction process has been completed.
Phase Inspections are ESSENTIAL if you
wish to protect your investment. |
