The timber framing does not match the approved engineer drawings. Timbers must be strong enough to support the loads placed on them. A double-sided beam with one side laminated and the other thinned at the steel post. Fit proper anchor bolts at the bracing panels and tighten any loose straps.

The process takes one to two hours for single-storey homes and can take longer for two-storey properties with steel structures.
The onsite connection does not match the drawings. The builder must ensure the work meets engineering plans and the QBCC Standards and Tolerances Guide.

During the handover inspection we check all open items have been secured properly.
The structural plans, such as the beam schedule and bracing plan, are checked.
We check the build against the approved drawings to see if it matches the plans.
