O2TB,

I would love to tell you, as would most others, but these things generally come in under confidentiality agreements and therefore can't be shared...

(especially in a public forum)

we had 75mm cornices installed instead of the 100mm that we wanted.

We did not pay extra in the contract for the bigger ones, was a "free upgrade", however when we pointed out they were the wrong ones I negotiated an $800 refund.

That was easiest for both parties. I dont think they wanted to re-do all the ceilings, I didnt have time to wait for it to get re-done and I got $800 back.

We also major issue with the slab levels (couldn't lay timber boards) and the builder was very good and payed for my contractor to come and grind the slab back to level. That was about $1500 worth.

it would have been nicer if it was correct the first time, but was happy with the outcomes
