Surely the plumber could've marked it out or checked it before walking away from that, it is so obvious. Re: Individual Design - New Choice Homes 144Feb 27, 2018 12:09 pm J278 Very obvious. You’d expect a far better job than that. Needs a new tape measure and/or glasses, the two outside taps out the back are100mm out however we said to leave it as we will get the alfresco one shifted after handover. Re: Individual Design - New Choice Homes 145Feb 27, 2018 12:32 pm Our chasing in for our electrics was a bit all over the shop for our Theatre/TV so not sure their guy is top notch at reading plans! I wanted 3 conduits in a wallbox and he cut 3 wall boxes! Had to be reworked a bit with help of a crude picture that I drew and gave to the head Electrician Re: Individual Design - New Choice Homes 146Feb 27, 2018 1:10 pm JS15 Our chasing in for our electrics was a bit all over the shop for our Theatre/TV so not sure their guy is top notch at reading plans! I wanted 3 conduits in a wallbox and he cut 3 wall boxes! Had to be reworked a bit with help of a crude picture that I drew and gave to the head Electrician We had issues with our electrical chasing as the chaser did not get the revised plans in time however lucky that NCH had agreed to our revision as the electrical chasing was very random and not consistent anything from 100mm - 500mm from walls. I stopped on the way to work the following day and spoke to the Electrician to make sure that he had been given the updated plans and I have no doubt that I saved a few more errors from happening. My tip to anyone doing electrical plans atm is to put a measurement on every GPO point and check them early, we originally only had about 5 noted. The Intellegent Homes conduits and boxes are all good. Best wishes for your PCI tomorrow. Re: Individual Design - New Choice Homes 149Feb 27, 2018 11:05 pm J278 The conduits, electrical and plumbing are things that I haven’t spent a lot of time looking over to be honest - now that it’s plastered over I hope it’s okay. Yours are probably all good and ours should be by the time the grey float starts. Re: Individual Design - New Choice Homes 150Mar 01, 2018 10:52 pm Plumber has been today, still not happy... ☹ If we had known that is was going to be such a issue to get them level we would have stayed with our original idea to have them either end of the shower instead of side by side. Glad that the estimator was not consistent with the vanity wall tap prices and that hubby convinced me not to get them, I can only imagine that would have been another headache.

My electrical plan was obviously a bit too complicated!

My electrical plan was obviously a bit too complicated! Good to know, thanks! Re: Individual Design - New Choice Homes 156Mar 02, 2018 11:07 pm Thanks everyone. We understand that mistakes can happen we are all human however if you are called back to a job because you failed to read the correct plans (signed Dec) as the outlet was drawn too close to the side wall and then again because you did not make them level after being shifted you would think that you would check to ensure it was level the third time....We have since noticed that the left side is not muded straight, funny as the purchase order states that they must be straight and that the holes cut must be filled !!! JS15, we have the same SS however we only just met him last week so we have probably had/have some on the same contractors, will probably have to pack spare shoes in the car for before work stops for the next month, when possible. Whilst we don't have to worry about hanging a TV it could create problems should we need to renovate or repair the shower. Lucky I dont want to hang anything on the keydrop side wall. J278 , we have not been given our SS contact number and our CL does not work Fridays so the email will not get read until Tuesday.....

That will change once the fit outs are done and our furniture is in, can't wait to have space around our dining table 🎉. How is your build progressing ? Re: Individual Design - New Choice Homes 160Mar 09, 2018 12:50 pm Thought we had better start on the after handover list as we like to take time to discuss and decide on things. Started with the wardrobe inserts last weekend at Lifestyle Wardrobes and was very impressed, nothing too fancy just functional white melamine. I have since asked them to quote for some built-in laminate coloured desks for the minor rooms and the office as this was something that we envisioned when we planned the design, hopefully the quote will be within the building budget.
