Tiling Q and another stuff up I 6Nov 07, 2011 9:06 am cmhamilton Let me get this straight - is the issue the fact that not enough tiles have been ordered to cover the new tiling plan, or that sufficient tiles were ordered for the new plan but because they have gone with the old plan now you might not have enough? We purchased enough tiles to do the original them changed the. The change meant we needed more tiles so we got another tile for the en-suite, but needed the tiler to do the kitchen first then laundry. Once those were done it didn't matter if we had to buy more of the en-suite tiles for bathroom and toilet because you cannot see those rooms from the kitchen. You can see straight into the laundry from kitchen, alfresco, theater(sort of) and we just wanted the kitchen and laundry to blend in. So because they went with the old plan we now may run out of tiles. cmhamilton I think you're in trouble because this sounds like a bit of an ad-hoc post-contract change (did it even to through their design team or did you just send your tiling plan to your CSC?) here from your description but a bit of clarification would be nice. I completely agree that this was ad-hoc, but I have email correspondence with the interim SS(small builder so no design teams or masses of people to go through) and the variations I have submitted other than this one were all met with no response, no reply but somehow managed to get done. Also this topic was discussed with the builder (owner) at a site inspection(for other reasons) and he was fully aware that the plan had changed. cmhamilton Clarification aside - given that you are supplying the tiles and that the change to the tiling plan was not ratified as a signed off variation I suspect you will be the one paying for any shortfall, regardless of whether it is deemed to be fair from an ethical standpoint or not. I just wanted to see whether I was way off base with what I thought or not. At this stage the new supervisor has re-measured and says that we should be OK. Apparently we need 285 whole tiles for the area left and we have 310. HE was not offering any gauntness though. Hi Mofflepop, I would recommend finding a building designer to prepare plans, they should design to your specified budget.
