Re: Renovations are not so easy under the new laws

Thanks Lady Penelope, this is a ground floor unit (garages under) the floor slab is finished with magnesite. My question is why then  would we go to all the extra expense to use gold underlay especially if they have not used it on the top floor above us. Where I come from we call that double standards and unfair.  Beside that why would you need to special resolution for waterproofing. Will it be a better job if it’s approved by way special resolution or standard resolution? Does that mean that we dont need to waterproof if we dont get passed on a special resolution ? I don’t get it, isn’t it part of the building code and has to be done anyway.
