It is in the contract, the builder just completely missed it. Our house is a double storey house. The vent is very important to me because it helps to dry our clothes off if we need to hang clothes inside. Is it hard for the builder to add it? What is our right? Any advise? Thanks.

Just speak to your builder but it's a pretty easy fix, just cut in to the closest duct and fit a T piece then run in the new duct ..... unless you're a double story in which case you're stuffed as you'll need to cut the roof out. Re: Missing heating cooling vent after settlement 3Sep 09, 2017 9:16 pm I was missing one in the kitchen and one in the bathroom, was told by my builder that it is up to the heating people to decide where they go and how many they are, and I should not have been able to plan them out in my original plans.. so I didn't get them in the end ;-; Re: Missing heating cooling vent after settlement 4Sep 09, 2017 11:29 pm MrCJ gojetter Hi everyone We did settlement last week and just found out that a ducted heating/coolinh vent is missing in our laundry.

If it's in your contract I would think regardless of difficulty they have to add it in. aloenyx They were standard. Theres 3 in the living dining so ok for the kitchen..was annoyed by the bathroom though as i would have put other heating in there if id known. Could you find anywhere on your drawings or written in contract where it says that the heating people have final say? I think we have a note somewhere that says they will determine the exact positions but the no. of points and rooms are in the contract so they wouldn't have any leeway with that. How do you remove one of these ceiling air con vents? And is it possible to disconnect the duct joined to the vent from inside the house, without going into the roof cavity? 0 5936 To my understanding early saw cuts are to control shrinkage cracks, so doing them now would be pointless.
