Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Misinterpreting scale or symbols on construction drawings, leading to dimensional errors in setting out
- Failing to conduct thorough CAT scans or trial holes to locate underground services before excavation
- Installing drainage pipes with insufficient or excessive gradient, causing blockages or slow flow
- Inadequate compaction of sub-base or backfill, resulting in later settlement or collapse
- Using incorrect water-to-cement ratio in concrete mixes, compromising strength and durability
- Failing to account for domestic hot water demand when sizing a cylinder or heat pump.
- Incorrect setting of weather compensation curves, leading to poor system efficiency.
- Omitting to check antifreeze concentration or inhibitor levels in ground source systems.
