Doing a re-clad on a warehouse, inspector marks with dazzel which studs, bottomplates etc that need to be replaced. Timber was ordered and work carried out ready for pre-line inspection. The building inspector came out and noticed that the timber used was H 3.1 and H 3.2 had been specified on the plan.
Due to not reading the plan correctly, then ordering the wrong timber, the pre-line inspection failed due to not complying with clause B1 structure of the building code and failure to comply with other parts of the code.
Because of this all the work that had been carried out had to be dismantled, de-nailed and stored for another job as the timber yard would not accept it back due to the state it was in. H 3.2 timber was ordered and work re-done to comply with T.A. approved plans.
