Hi.
I am looking for some advice on a problem that I am having with the Bricklayer that is building a property for me.
He constructed the footings for me and then after I layed the block and beam floor he started to lay the external walls.
I had to do some research myself to find out the correct detail of how the radon barrier and cavity was fitted and let him know.
However after describing it to him he has done it incorrectly. I now have to knock off 2 courses of brick from the outer leaf, so that the cavity tray can be formed.
My issue with him is, if he is a qualified Bricklayer and he has be doing it for around 20 years, surely he should no the layout of this construction at floor level.
He said that he has never fitted a Radon barrier on a block and beam floor before, but I can't see what this has to do with the forming of the cavity tray.
I have not been in this industry long, but I'm assuming that these sort of things are basic construction methods.
I would like to know if this is correct because I will not use him again.
I didn't think it was down to me to have to explain to him how to form the Radon barrier and cavity tray.
Thanks.
