However for us we have a house with different ceiling levels which has ruined the overall look of the house. Can anyone please shed some light on this subject and advise of what the tolerance is with ceilings? Can a builder put lower ceiling heights than on plans? Can he use the excuse he had to for tolerance? What can be done / action? just curious what exactly is written on the plan? 2740 or 2700?
