Predicting a huge amount of serious defects in apartment buildings, very soon and continuing.As I said earlier I've lived in creaky old weatherboard houses before - they can be quite noisy, especially when it's windy. You get used to it to the point of ignoring it; at that stage VIC was very dry too so the clay-like soil in that part of Melbourne drying out and moving underneath probably didn't help.
I also wonder if the noise in Prima Pearl that those owners were complaining about is actually just the expansion joints etc and the building swaying a tiny bit in the wind as they're designed to. It's true that the engineers should have anticipated it and built in noise amelioration from that - so I guess someone didn't do their job right or a corner was cut?
