Hi
I am looking for some advice. This is the first pool we have constructed. We have engaged a PB who will manage the entire project. My wife and I are building a new concrete pool for our 3 boys. Excavation was done 2 weeks ago. No shoring, boxing or reinforcement has been installed since. Have had approx 1 inch of rain 2 days ago. The walls have caved in and have undermined the hedging we were intending to keep as part of the landscape design. Also the boundary fence has been undermined- nearing closer to our neighbours land. Builder has only made 1 site visit in the past 2 weeks since excavation and said it was no issue. After this they assured me they would attend the site, but the haven’t come as promised. I am worried. My neighbour is angry! Photos attached.
Can someone please advise me if this is normal? I am not a pool builder but conventional logic tells me this is a very big mess? I would appreciate some advice / opinions .
Thanks a lot !
