Workfronts
Every work package by stage, the critical path with its blockers and owners, and the decisions that govern the works.
1. This week's priorities — W45–W46 (6–13 Nov)
From schedule v6.1 (6 Nov): the CBA statement to 4 Nov, Hamilton invoice 700h and the partners' group to 6 Nov (187 messages, 36 photos, 3 voice notes). The 4 Nov meeting happened at the pub without Marcos and is not minuted in the group — nothing from it is on this page until it is. Owners by workfront: compliance Rei · north corner Rod · interior and field trades Jean · integration, cash and contracts Marcos. Next gate: Wed 11 Nov, 6:30 pm AEST.
- AC damage — make-good or credit in writing before any payment (D61) — the crew broke the living ceiling around the return-air grille, opened the ensuite ceiling for the duct and removed an ensuite wall sheet (photos 3 Nov). Options in order: the installer's plasterer makes good to a paint-ready standard within five business days, written on the invoice as a condition of payment; or one written quote from our plasterer for the AC-caused repairs, itemised separately, credited against the invoice. Licence numbers (ARCtick + electrical) and the CoTC for the new circuit come with the invoice.Rei · Fri 6 Nov before paying
- Plaster / cornice / patch — one trade, one scope, priced (D55) — the DIY cornice removal failed (Jean, 24 Oct). Scope: (a) AC repairs, chargeable to the installer; (b) ensuite extra tile row + cornice detail; (c) kitchen zone patching + 90 mm cornice; (d) living cornice removal; (e) stained ceiling sheets to replace before paint — six to eight brown rings photographed 6 Nov (R11). The trade who was on site 3 Nov is the candidate: name, ABN, price per item, in the trustee's name. Closed before the floor on 12 Nov.Rod · Jean · priced Mon 9, done Wed 11 Nov zero float
- Certifier engaged (D50) — three weeks without a name. Engagement in the trustee's name by Wed 11 Nov with the day-1 pack: Drew's photos of the fire-rated wall before lining (D60), board spec and fixings, Drew's statement, the council extract (D24), and the AC penetrations through ceilings and the granny's fire separation (fire collars, sealing). Back-solved: engaged 11 Nov → BA ~9 Dec → Form 21 mid/late January (band B) unless the works finish by ~15 Dec.Rei · Wed 11 Nov zero float
- Fence and gate line → PSC inspector booked — the gate position decided on Saturday fixes the glass panel count, whether a step to the pool is needed (apparently not) and the inspection date (~20 Nov). Deck outside the fenced area (D40). Statutory PSC date (8 Oct) is 29 days behind us: Form 23 on the new barrier, or a Form 26 now.Rod · Sat 7 Nov overdue
- Equalising call 3 — $31,500 to $130,000 each — Marcos 15,000 · Rei 9,000 · Jean 5,000 · Rod 2,500; receipts in the group. Balance $27,065 on 4 Nov against ~$40–50k due in two weeks (AC, Hamilton, deck final, flooring balance, plaster, Pepper 16 Nov, fence). Call 4 ~$20k each on ~1 Dec. Calls on Cashall four · Fri 6 Nov now
- Switchboard (D62) and the main-switch repair — the house lost power 3–4 Nov; João found a loose cable at the main switch and fixed it; the AC's electrician confirmed the board needs an upgrade (old HPM RCD, taped cable). Certificate of Test for the repair; João's quote for the upgrade; both go to the compliance register (a buyer's inspector photographs that board).Jean · Rei · quote this week
- Deck final 20% only against the evidence pack (D51) — deck complete 3 Nov; dated photos of posts, stirrups and joists before boards, the 75 mm gap, list of replaced members, invoice with ABN. If already paid, collect the pack anyway — it is the R2 evidence for the buyer's B&P.Rei · this week
- Fence (D56a) — B&B Fencing $5,500 (quote 3617, full replacement of the right-side and rear fence, 43 lm, hardwood posts, two gates, ABN) vs the Chinese contractor's $4,200 repair. The line had active termites (R19): replacement is the remediation. Quote re-issued to the trustee before contracting.Rei · Rod · Wed 11 Nov
Plaster closed Wed 11 Nov · certifier engaged Wed 11 Nov · flooring Thu 12 Nov (floor protected; painting 16 Nov → 4 Dec after it). Kitchen carcasses are in (5–6 Nov, benchtop to come); the AC is in; the deck is done. Practical completion moves 4 Dec → 11 Dec.
2. Minimum scope sheets — what the trade delivers and we check
Rule from the partners' group, 24 Sep: every finding from a site visit becomes a line of the minimum scope the trade we hire must execute — and we check it at QA. Every quote prices every line; a quote that skips a line enters as indicative. This is the exit test of stage 1 · Solution. Numbers are indicative, Gold Coast market, until two written quotes sit on the same sheet.
Deck-Pro's visit on 24 Sep confirms what the March B&P already flagged: out of level, rot by the pool and in front of the living, posts, bearers and brackets to redo. Boards-only prices (~$180/m²) no longer buy the scope — planning number for P9 is $22–27k against a $20,000 allocation (Cash · 21 Sep).
P9 · Deck — sheet v1 (24 Sep)
Sources: pre-purchase B&P 26 Mar (R2, unsafe deck) · Deck-Pro site visit 24 Sep (Dean, measured on site) · DECKING PLAN v2 (Rei, 24 Sep) · G5 conditions 23 Sep.
| # | Minimum scope line | Why | How we check |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 · Level | One plane across the whole deck — today it is high by the granny flat and low by the pool; tolerance written in the quote | Deck-Pro 24 Sep; visible over a large area and in the buyer's inspection | Level readings per bay, dated photos |
| 2 · Rot | Replace every rotten post, bearer and joist — by the pool and in front of the living as a minimum | Deck-Pro 24 Sep · B&P R2 | Count of members replaced on the invoice; before/after photos |
| 3 · Connections | Posts on galvanised stirrups and footings (no timber in soil or concrete); galvanised brackets and joist hangers; treated timber to the right hazard class | Deck-Pro: "posts, timbers, brackets poorly built" · WBS v2 9A | Photo of every post base; treatment tags |
| 4 · Clearances | ≥75 mm from walls and ground, subfloor ventilated, weep holes free | B&P · termite checklist (P1) | Tape-measure photos |
| 5 · Boards | Reuse sound boards where the new frame allows; new Merbau 140×19 (or composite) elsewhere; stainless fixings; one finish across old and new | Our brief to Deck-Pro: reuse as much as possible | Boards reused vs new on the invoice |
| 6 · Glass fence | Blocking for the spigots along the 15.53 lm fence line; deck stays outside the pool barrier | DECKING PLAN v2 · D40 | Blocking named in the engineer's Form 15 |
| 7 · Sequence | Granny-flat sewer pump installed and tested and Dean's trench closed before boards go down | 23 Sep · D33 | Form 4 + photo |
| 8 · Sign-off | One party responsible for the structure: RPEQ Form 15 + QBCC carpenter with HWI; quote in the name of ThriveCo One ATF Thrive One Trust; payment by physical milestone | G5 conditions for the 1 Oct start | Documents filed by R# |
| 9 · Boundary | 86.55 m² priced as the base; the 16.30 m² pool-side strip as a separate option line | DECKING PLAN v2 (strip inside or outside still open) | Two lines in every quote |
| P9 budget read | 86.55 m² | + 16.30 m² strip | What it buys |
|---|---|---|---|
| Boards over the existing frame (~$180/m², JW) | ~$15.6k | +$2.9k | Lines 5 only — fails lines 1–4 and 8 |
| Hamilton structure + boards (package dossier, option B) | ~$22.1k | to quote | Lines 1–9, QBCC + HWI already on site |
| Full rebuild benchmark (Bela Vista ≈ $307/m² incl. GST) | ~$26.6k | +$5.0k | Lines 1–9; quote expired 9 Sep, excludes certification |
| Planning number until quotes | $22–27k | ratio 2.0× first | +$2–7k over the $20,000 allocation (Cash · 21 Sep) |
Who quotes the sheet (24 Sep): Deck-Pro (Dean) — visited in the morning, measured, returns with his boss to re-quote · JW (John's brother) — site visit 4:30 pm with his manager/designer · Hamilton — structure variation to request · Bela Vista — revalidate at 86.55 m². Two of them on this sheet is enough to decide.
P10 · Pool surrounds and coping — sheet v1
- Measure first: m² of slab around the pool and lm of coping — the two numbers every price below multiplies. Nobody has them yet.
One tape and a photo on the next site visitJean · 26 Sep missing number - Preparation by a specialist, not by the resurfacer: lift the slab (foam), close the gap between slab and pool edge, diamond-grind the cracks
Resurfacing co. 1 on site 22 Sep: prep is ours to arrangeto quote separately - Finish rates (resurfacing co. 2, 23 Sep): plain $100/m² · blended $200/m² · white $250/m² · polish $750 on top (unit to confirm)
Coping reference: Top Team $160/lm incl. GST, no submerged workvisit Thu 25 Sep - What the $5,000 surrounds reserve covers: ~50 m² plain or ~20–25 m² blended/white, before preparation — measure decides whether it holds
EAC 21 Sepcheck - Deck or concrete around the whole pool? With a rebuilt structure at ~$250–300/m², decking costs more than resurfacing at $100–250/m² plus prep — concrete is the default; decking only on the 16.30 m² strip if the 2.0× ratio passes
Jean's question, 23 SepG6 - Lines every quote carries: fall away from the pool · no warranty around pools is usual (expect 4–5 years) — priced knowing we sell · sequence: Dean's trench → coping + surrounds → deck structure → glassstage 2 test
AC (D9) · Backyard (P11)
- AC sheet: new ducted vs keep-and-report (both numbers) · where the condensers go and whether a new circuit is needed · zones and kW · removal of the old system · CoTC · quote in the trustee's name
On site: Paradise 13 Sep · Definitive 24 Sep 11 am · third company 24 Sep 2 pm · JN1519 proposal (22 Sep) value still to be read · first numbers 25 Sep (below)Jean · decision 2 Oct · $15,000 in the EAC - AC update · 25 Sep — numbers on the table and the trade-off for the 2 Oct decision
Quotes: about $20k (all-new system; Rei has asked the supplier for a smaller unit and a different brand) · about $11k (Jean's second company; new or repair still to confirm) · third company's number awaited · JN1519 value still to be read. Against the $15k allowance that is +$5k / −$4k: the EAC moves from $356k (IPO 0.76) to about $361k (0.75) or $352k (0.77).
Options: A new ducted, full spec · B new ducted, reduced size and brand · C keep, repair and report · D split systems in the key rooms (to test). We compare them on: passing the buyer's B&P and building inspection (Paradise, 18 Sep: it would not pass) · real duct condition and the condenser label (R22?) — a 20–30 year old system, ducts likely leaking (Jean) · cost against the 2.0× package ratio — AC is a licence to sell rather than an uplift, so Marcos proposed booking it as a first selling cost, for the partners to confirm · timing: ducts 12–23 Oct, before interior finishes.
Next steps: Jean and Rei confirm each quote's scope on this sheet · Jean asks the repair supplier for a written duct inspection and puts all three quotes in one table · Rod checks option B technically · Marcos reads JN1519 and builds the A–D matrix before the decision · Marcos sets the framing and a cap for the package.Jean · Rod · Marcos · decision 2 Oct 3 quotes → decision - Backyard by reverse engineering: start from the reference photo Rei posted on 24 Sep and list backwards what it takes — e.g. remove the water feature, level the ground, 10 small palms, 30 m² of turf, labour — each line with quantity × unit rate, then check it against the $12,000 allocation. Joana validates the list, trades quote it

4. Board — packages by stage

8. Decision register D1–D45
Every change goes through a package card, a decision D#, a number that moves and a line in the minutes. D37–D45 are the live ones; the full register is below.
D45 · Full working drawings not commissioned — the project runs by workfronts agreed 21 Sep · ratified G5 23 Sep
We chose not to commission the full working drawings (~$7k) and to run the project by workfronts with a loose scope, with safeguards we all hold to: Rei prepares the technical drawings the certifier asked for (date to be fixed — the plasterboard closes on 9 Oct); Apex certifies the granny flat and resolves the fire-rated wall and the related points; Marcos and Claude integrate the partial drawings (Joana, engineer, granny-flat BA) into one site plan.
Four obligations remain: (1) Apex's written minimum submission — if full working drawings are required, the $7.5k comes back; (2) the RPEQ engineer's single visit with Form 15 for the fire-rated wall, the roof truss (D41) and the deck substructure; (3) Joana's drawing for the north corner and the façade; (4) the council building records search (D24). Marcos's stated preference is to execute with a plan or drawing and defined acceptance criteria; the partners agreed a loose-scope approach can work when these safeguards hold and when acceptance criteria are written per package before quoting. The risk we carry, stated plainly: the valuer treating the granny flat as unapproved work — which is why Apex's position and the BA come first. P14 falls from $29,183 to ~$14–17k (indicative) (Cash · 21 Sep). Agreed 21 Sep by Rei and Rod, clarified 23 Sep, ratified at G5 on 23 Sep (Rod absent) — to be recorded in the group and the minutes.
