Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Aug 21, 2015 4:45 pm Hi All We recently moved in our new house and due to the knowledge of fellow H1'ers we have built a very decent house, thanks to everyone on this forum. We have just submitted the 90 day maintenance list to the builder (Wi*dom Hom*s). The list mainly consists of patch works, except for 1 item where the niche on our rumpus room is smaller in size by 50mm on both sides (width & height). Because of this our TV won't fit into the niche (which is on a tiled wall) and hanging out rather than sitting inside the niche. The builder is saying the measurement is frame to frame and it won't be fixed. Logically I find this incorrect and if this is to be believed then most of the measurements can be ignored by citing the same excuse. Any feedback on this would be much appreciated. Thanks Re: Incorrect niche size 3Aug 22, 2015 12:36 pm Unfortunately the measurements shown on building plans are frame to frame. However with 10mm gyprock this should only mean a reduction of 20mm overall (both width and height). In a room this is usually not a problem but in a niche it can make a big diference. Using my LG-G4 to bring you this update. Re: Incorrect niche size 5Aug 22, 2015 3:43 pm Unfortunately, if the builder has built the Niche to the dimensions on the plan, they're right and a misunderstanding about measurements has meant a whole lot of headache for you. Sorry! However, if it's ~50+mm short, it tells me they haven't built to dimensions. As twin_dad stated, take 20mm off of any dimensions you'll see in your plan and that would most likely be the finished dimension - sometimes only 10mm is required depending on the wall etc. Re: Incorrect niche size 6Aug 22, 2015 7:51 pm Thanks very much for the replies. This has become an issue only my TV wasn't fitting properly. It was requested as a variance through the tiling company and the builder quoted me accordingly, so all the relevant parties were involved. Yes, the size was also mentioned during that time. I thought frame to frame measurements are applicable only for the room size and not for others. Constant What you have posted isn't really readable and also needs to be compared to your architectural plans. Happy to have a look if you email me at 1 8091 Dear Members I have to decide the Facade column size. My custom builder standard is 350mm with rendering, but i asked for 470mm plus stone or tiles and yet to get… 0 7508 All sorted guys. Just needed to buy a blade with the correct bush. Dunno how to delete this post, can't find any help file. Cheers. 1 3667 |
