Hi,
A builder installed a concrete slab and assembled a wooden garage on it. Unfortunately, the slab wasn't level so it ended up needing a significant number of wedges to level the garage - please see the attached picture.
The builder will not be returning so I'm looking for a way to deal with the issue. Here are the options I'm looking at so any opinions or alternatives are much appreciated:
1. Jack up the garage (it's 26' long and 13' wide so not an easy task) and lay a course of engineering bricks on a length of DPC. Drop the garage back down on the bricks.
2. Lift the garage in sections, placing DPC under the battens. Build a timber shutter around the edge of the battens and fill with some type of screed.
Any other ideas?
Thanks
