Be firm. Between dh & I, i go first, only get halfway with them and then dh zooms in for the homerun... pathetic really. Yes blessedpeople, we will be firm about it. If it wasn't really on the standard plans, we wouldn't ask for it. But as far as I can remember, I really saw a dwarf wall somewhere... and now we saw the proof.. good thing we still have the standard plans emailed to us by our SC. Quote: There is no harm in standing your ground, but knowing M it may not get you very far. I think they owe you big time surely they can accomodate you with this Our SS and CM seem to be very accommodating. When we met them to discuss about the issues with the slab and frame (based on Kev's independent inspection report), they went through the list one by one and agreed to address them all. They were after the document that would prove that it was a dwarf wall and they would change it to a dwarf wall. Now that we have the proof (we'll email it tomorrow so they would have it first day Monday morning) to show that the standard plans have dwarf wall, I'm quite positive that they would agree to change the full wall to a dwarf wall. fingers crossed. Quote: This is just a suggestion, but if you are concerned re children and dwarf wall ......I know you said it was CM who raised that as an issue but.....you could have the dwarf wall with glass above to let the light in. I don't think it would be possible to add glass above the dwarf wall at this stage. Anyway, thanks for the suggestion. Although the plans that we signed didn't have that note saying 1000mm wall to the leisure, they definitely have that dwarf wall on their standard plans and we didn't alter it in any way. Quote: Hi Vj I think the best option is to talk/email to your ss soon rather than later. We also encountered some missing/incorrect items (laundry doors, kitchen vac pan, security in the garage). We emailed the builder who said that he will be looking it. so far our laundry door has been replaced to clear glass. Oznow, Yes, we will contact the CM (as we have his email address - he gave it to us during our meeting and told us to contact him for urgent matters), not the SS, on Monday re: this and will forward the standard plans sent to us by our CSR. Just in case they don't agree to make it a dwarf wall, we will escalate it to the higher management, as they definitely alter the standard wall without our instruction. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Built the Nevada 42 Next project - landscaping!
