Garage Ceiling Replacement Point Cook

A Point Cook garage ceiling replacement turned up rafters out by as much as 20mm from one to the next, more than one spot. Sheeting straight onto that would have left a non-compliant ceiling, not just a wavy one. We stopped, documented it, got the variation approved the same day, then battened the whole ceiling dead flat with a laser level before any sheet went up.

It looked like a straightforward garage ceiling replacement in Point Cook.

Then we started sheeting, and found the rafters running up to 20mm out from one to the next. In more than one spot. Sheet straight onto that and the ceiling is non-compliant, not just wavy under the lights.

So we stopped. Flagged it the same day, documented it properly, got the variation approved, then came back with a laser level and battened the whole thing dead flat before a single sheet went up.

Plaster, electrical and paint, all under one roof, so the schedule never slipped.
