FAQ

Pre-Handover (PCI) Inspections in Riverstone: common questions

Why do weep holes dominate this page?

Because they came up three different ways on these jobs: missing entirely, sitting higher than they should, and not resting on the flashing that is supposed to carry the water out. All three defeat the same drainage path.

What is wrong with negative slope on a capping?

A capping sheds water by falling away from the wall. Sloping back toward it, or not sloping at all, means water sits and then finds the joint underneath.

How long before handover should I book?

Two to three weeks. Any later and the builder has no window to rectify, which converts your list into a settlement argument.
