Cracked Opal Tower just 'tip of iceberg' in under regulated building industryThe Sydney Opal Tower incident is just the “tip of the iceberg” in a building industry content to dodge corners with its “she’ll be right” culture, experts warn. Is there any fact in this or just another bullshit thought bubble. I think it is Greed & corrupt authorities are the root cause of fostering an environment for dodgy operations. No, that’s an alarmist view. While that view certainly has merit, the Strata Community Association & Builders Collective have a vested interest in representing that viewpoint doyourresearch tabloidjournaliam

Cracks, concrete and construction: What the Opal Tower report actually saysThe Opal Tower report, written by two of the state's most senior independent engineers after a more than two weeks of investigation, went some way in giving residents answers as to what went wrong. Inconsistent Concrete All Cracked That spells ICAC sasbites If 20 mm reo-bars have been used instead of 28 mm (in the drawings) then the NSW government has failed in its duty of care to put in place procedures to employ independent structural engineers to check structural calculations, drawings and actual reinforcement etc. Construction components appear to be where short cuts were made. Suspect the time to rectification will be significant and for someone ... very costly.
