So if with the new builder you will have similar layout of butlers and kitchen and laundry with similar dimensions to the set already drawn by the old one, you are facing an uphill battle to prove the design with the new builder is original and not copied from the old one. Not saying it's impossible if you can find similar designs on the internet though, but potential legal costs being incurred can be a sting whether you win or lose or settle midway. Expression of an idea doesn't include a measurement. You'd have to be so blatant and lazy for this to ever be an issue, never-mind the fact that the fit and finish would obviously be completely different. And aside from the fact that most butlers, kitchens and laundry rooms are much of a muchness between all builders anyway, are you suggesting a designer is going to force their way into your home with a tape measure to check against their original plans that you never went with ?
