Hi all,
My first post on here.
Im in the process of waiting for new build to complete. I have bought off plan, reserved but not yet had access to the house.
I just had an email saying that they builder has positioned the boxed in cavity adjacent to the shower on the wrong side of the en-suite room. This meant they could not fit the normal swing door and have instead replaced with a folding door.
This plan shows the difference between the correct layout on the left and my plot on the right.
They sent me some pictures of my plot.
Now this is how it should be.
The email only touched on the door being different. But there are other changes.
1. The cubicle is on the far side of the room instread of the near side.
1. They have installed the shower on the far wall instead of on the side, so the shower will spray out of the cubicle.
2. They have moved the sink away from the shower cubicle around another 200-300mm which I think may too near the toilet, but I have not seen in person yet.
3. Even though they have moved the sink, it still blocks the path to the shower cubicle somewhat.
4. They haven't tiled the boxed in area of the wall.
This is a part of the builders G.A, clearly showing the shower/cubicle postion.
They are trying to play it down but I am not really happy with it.
After a week, they even sent me this picture as a solution to the problem to water pouring out of the door - turning the shower head everytime you turn on the shower. Insulting really.
I know developers state then can make slight changes to specification, but would this be classed as a small change?
Can I just stand my ground and make them correct it all?
Thanks
