Are the precast panels meant to be different shapes and sizes.

Reckon it's worth putting down a tenner on them deciding not to paint it in the end

A reminder of what the renders looked like. They don't even resemble each other, let alone reality. The scale/dimensions are way off.

Ugh this thing is such a piece of shit. Toms court still takes the cake though.

Anyone else seeing some cracks in the precast on the third level?

This is probably my favourite comment in a long time on this forum, thank you.

I thought they were cracks too but when I got closer it looked more like streaks from the rain dislodging accumulated grime. At least, I hope so

What about these random drill holes though? Can't be ideal for structural integrity, surely? They're on the ground floor, King William St facing panel.
Edit: A close up of the area in question. Just grime... I think??

I'll take a guess and say that some sort of awning or signage will be going there. Not uncommon for precast to have holes in it like thatBobski wrote: ↑Fri May 16, 2025 11:12 amI thought they were cracks too but when I got closer it looked more like streaks from the rain dislodging accumulated grime.
