Browse Forums Building Standards; Getting It Right! 1 Feb 06, 2018 8:54 am Hi, I am about to sign a building contract.

They say it is to stop people measuring things to the last millimeter and complaining, which apparently some people do. I understand this and will not quibble over a centimetre here and there I however feel this can be abused and used to cover up mistakes, eg if something is out by a lot more than this, They have changed the clause to read "All measurement are approximates only and all measurements are to be in compliance to Australian Standards" I have not been able to find any info on this, but are there are standard tolerances that are allowed in any domestic building standards ?? Or am I worrying about nothing???
