Browse Forums Building A New House Re: My first home – Caversham waters Pakenham 21Jan 17, 2012 5:43 pm Is it structural because there is not enough length in the wall to put a concealed door? if it was to the ensuite they can move the door opening to fit one in. For the kids bathroom you could encourage the draftsmen to change the plans to include a csd, a bi-fold door or have the door open outwards. The only issue I would have opening the door outwards would be the linen press. Looking at the drawings I can't see how it can be structural, there must be another reason. As you have not even signed off on the drawings heaps of changes can still be made. So I would ask why you couldn't have one, the question it and annoy them until they put one in Also the toilet room is 1.55m long, have you compared that to your current toilet? In ikea they have a wall fixed cabinet you can put in the toilet/bathroom to have more storage. hubby, kids and me all waiting for the Amberlea Site Cut 27 September 2011 https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=46637 http://www.dscml.com/ Re: My first home – Caversham waters Pakenham 22Jan 17, 2012 9:55 pm @ edsci What I understood was that according to the girl responsible for jobs (I think Administration), that I cant do structural changes to the plan, and seems plan is locked-out. after paid first 1000$. I cant remember I have singed off any final floor plan but I think i have sign off a floor plan saying this is the one i'm going with. During the sales pitch, sales consultant said, i can do the changes till the contract sign and just needs to submit the variation forms for each change. However I submitted a list of changes what i wants to do with layout (nothing major, but small changes). I'll try to get sorted those during the color selection. if they are not flexible, might have to pull the plug (at my cost ). Anyway as you said I measured the my current toilet and found out that is smaller than this . So this one shouldn't have much problem, but I still loves to have some more space there My house --> viewtopic.php?f=31&t=53334 Re: My first home – Caversham waters Pakenham 23Jan 17, 2012 10:09 pm You should be able to make changes, I made changes right up to the week before I signed the contract, and even I took my contract home and noticed something wasn't right, I changed it again until I was happy, then I signed the contract. Changing the internals isn't structural in most cases, it is just a matter of moving frames and plaster around. In some cases you can't move certain walls, but I think your customer relations officer needs to follow it up with the draft team. It is your home they are building and you should have as much space as possible in your loo. hubby, kids and me all waiting for the Amberlea Site Cut 27 September 2011 https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=46637 http://www.dscml.com/ Re: My first home – Caversham waters Pakenham 24Jul 30, 2012 10:24 pm How's your house coming along podilamaya?
