Yeah thanks. What’s what I assumed. However the floor plans don’t actually show any measurements for the toilet placement. Anyways. Will await what the builder has to say Re: Australian standards re toilet placement 13Jul 19, 2019 12:00 am The builder is talking c#@p, ask them to provide you with the relevant Australian Standard. They have made a mistake on there plans and then they try to justify by telling you a BS story Re: Australian standards re toilet placement 14Jul 19, 2019 8:29 am What you could do it ask for a copy of the plumbing set-out plans. These would have been produced by the draftsperson with full measurements etc. I personally reckon they put the pipe in the wrong spot prior to the slab being poured (as is fairly common I think), so just plonked the dunny down without any attempt to shift it over slightly. I agree it is a pain and I too wouldn't be very happy. But ultimately if it is difficult to change now, and this is your only problem with the house then overall (long term!) it might not be a massive issue. But like I said I understand you're annoyed, it is just stupid of the plumbers and builder to do this. Doesn't make sense to not try and centre it up. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Check our Homeone build blog here Re: Australian standards re toilet placement 17Jul 19, 2019 4:12 pm JB1 Good news is that it's an easy fix with an offset pan collar. However where is the inlet pipe? If behind the cistern, they may have to replace the tile. Is this likely to then make the toilet likely to back up easily ?

Yep I agree re incorrect placing in the early stages. Also incorrectly placed our rangehood, a shower rail and a shower dumper too. Whilst those have been rectified it’s getting painful.

If behind the cistern, they may have to replace the tile. Sorry about two replies. I’m a moron and couldn’t figure out how to edit my other post. My husband thinks the inlet pipe is in the wall behind. Hi all, My first post, we are building a house and can’t decide the layout of the lounge room.
