Wedges and offcuts under trusses: the Officer lock-up finding to know
Why packing under trusses and beams matters, and why lock-up is when to catch it.
The last look at the steel, pods, vapour barrier and plumbing before concrete covers them for good.
One of our inspectors will call you back. If it is urgent, call 1300 471 805.
Officer slab findings tend to be about cover and continuity: steel sitting too close to the edge, a vapour barrier stopping short of the beams, bars across a footing step left too short. Each is a short fix before the truck arrives.

Cover means how much concrete sits between the reinforcement and the outer surface. Too little and moisture reaches the steel, which rusts and cracks the slab over the years.
So ground moisture cannot wick up through the edge of the slab. A barrier that stops at the top of the beam leaves a gap.
A day or two is best. Tell us as soon as the pour is booked so we can fit around the program.
Most items are fixed in under an hour. Whether the pour moves is between you and the builder.
No. We check penetrations, capping and clearance to the mesh. Any pressure test falls to the licensed plumber.
Only surface items such as edge finish and honeycombing. Everything inside the slab is hidden for good.
