Sounds like the builder is rushing to complete and lockup. Then they will dangle the keys in front of you and give you the option 1. Take possession of the units immediately as is? or 2. Head to the courts where you will have a delayed hollow victory Where the builder will have to rectify...but you and your architect will have your own court costs running into the hundreds of thousand$ bushpiglet Didn't think that as an owner I would need to measure every room. No, but people make mistakes and builders find others to blame. Instead of everyone working together on builds. Hence my great dislike for architects 3D BIM "Software designed by artists/architects for Artists/Architects ...but they forgot about everyone else in the process" OT The software companies must take some responsibilities, when I complained to them I was booted from their forums bushpiglet Any experience from people in getting fair trading involved?

Hence the need for site inspections, preferably by the engineer as he got the drawings/construction correct .
