The builder deconstructs the section and rebuilds as per plan / contract / BCA (yep that pesky little book) 2. Develop a Performance Based Solution 'PBS' (Fire Engineer) addressing save evac of that room/area in the case of a fire. Either option is going to cause a delay and trigger further LD's (liquidated damages) If you proceed with option 2, first you need to confirm the building certifier can, and will accept a PBS. Your builder should be dealing with this as it's his problem! However make sure, you make it perfectly clear you MUST be kept informed of what is discussed and proposed. If you do go down the track of Option 2 you need to discuss with the builder how he is going to off-set the stuff up. At that height "don't accept ceiling fans"!
