Whilst nothing major was wrong with this property, there were a large amount of finishing issues throughout which combined made an inspection by a professional worthwhile.

All sorts of problems with the reconstituted stone facade to this four month old property:

1. excessive expansion joints to one elevation - (unnecessarily weakens structural integrity);
2. complete absence of them in another (significantly increases the risk of thermal cracking, which can cause all sorts of problems);
3. expansion joints not extending down into the substructure (thermal cracking risk);
4. DPC dry bed on to substructure masonry (a common issue that can causes a perimeter slip pane between the substructure and superstructure masonry);
5. Wall ties protruding out of the face of the wall, and potentially incorrect wall tie type & material for the coastal environment (corrosion risk, which could result in serious structural damage over the longer term).
6. Stepped cracking in numerous locations (various causes to consider!)

Structural monitoring required over the next 12 months to determine remedial works.

The disruption to the client to rectify these works will be excessive, all because of the lack of quality control during the build by both the developer and their contractors.

Is this the standard you expect when you purchase a new build home in a prestigious development from one of South Wales biggest developers? The issues is this dwelling were beyond poor quality control, but rather a complete disregard for the customers well earned money. All about the profit.
