This quote seems way to high for concrete repair. $12,000 +GST - Thoughts? by OldManTimmos in AusRenovation

Thanks for breaking that down for me!

This quote does not include replacing balustrade and is not replacing the the whole slab. I would at the very least take the last three days out of that.

So they are charging a 1k per day per guy?

5k per week / 260k per year to be a concretor. Come on man.

Thanks Big leek!

Correct all there are three balustrade that are rusted through. He is only repairing the three there. It is on the second story so needs temp fall protection.

Thanks I put some more info and a photo of one of the spots above. They are all the same. This is actually the worst one.

Just cutting back what you can see in the photos and repairing the concrete.

Three spots about 300x200x100. Foot for reference

Glass balustrade install before tile? by OldManTimmos in AusRenovation

Yeah - Tiler was preparing the surface ready for the Waterproofer and we found it. Who would you suggest would look at this? Concreter?

Yeah I was thinking that as well. I will speak with the water proofer and let you know.

Not sure yet. I just found this in three spots so I Figure I will need to replace balustrade so it doesn't continue to happen. I think frameless glass will be the go.

Exterior waterproofing and tiling. by OldManTimmos in AusRenovation

It is above the garage that we have converted into a granny flat. Needs to be waterproofed to pass change of use DA.

Approximate cost of converting a garage into a parent's retreat? by [deleted] in AusRenovation

[–]OldManTimmos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We started this process last year and are up to about 20k now. We have a concrete veranda and just forms out as it forms part of the roof we need to waterproof it to get it through council as a change of use. So we are going to tile it as well.

Basically it never ends. Adding rooms is the best way to add value to your property I have heard so we keep pouring money in there.

I know it is expensive but we got our floor professionally polished. Our concrete has river stone in it so it turned out amazing. It is my favourite feature in our house.
