Fungi found in new house timber

An Mdu Probe System was installed for a roofer who is building 4 units for renting out, and very old-school in his approach to buildings. He was uncomfortable with the new building code the whole way through the process but was told that this was the way it is done so to relax. During the installation, the Moisture Detection installer commented that the building was very well built and it seemed that Terry did not feel that with his expertise the system was that relevant to him. On the other hand between the owner and Architect there was some interest as to whether the flashing details would prove to work or not. The results show that the building is not leaking, but have unfortunately shown that the quality of the timber is very poor. There is the existence of some fungi which may or may not be a danger to the timber and the timber strength tests indicate that the timber is weak. The owner noted that at the time of construction he had inspected the timber arriving onsite and he wasn’t that impressed by some of the timber he saw but didn’t act on it at the time.#1248
