After the build we have what they call a handover inspection. Up until you then the property is under the builders ownership and responsibility. So after the build, the owners go in and inspect the completion with a copy of the ans and contract in hand. You point out every fault on the inspection plan. The builder then gets that copy and must either fix or reply based on what you have on your contract. Once satisfied you then sign over the contract that you are happy and its yours. I assume the same in principle happens there. So my question is did you notice this at the final inspection or afterwards. It may the case with a project build, but it is not always the case with a custom build, especially depending on the client's relationship with the build and the builder. Re: Cabinetry not build to plans on architect build 16Nov 07, 2019 8:55 pm I suppose the obvious question is why were there 2 sets of plans? There should only be one set of approved working drawings that have been signed off and form the basis for all construction. Who engaged and gave an alternate set of plans to the cabinet maker?

I wonder if part of the cause might not be evident there in your statement?

Funny, I've always been of a mind that no one looks after your interests better than...you. We paid a substantial fee for someone to manage as that is their profession. Google the definition of an architect or look in a dictionary. They are self professed experts who’s job I thought would have been not only to our best interests but to create a product they can use for their best interests... Going with your argument I may as well just built the whole house with my own two hands? Re: Cabinetry not build to plans on architect build 20Nov 07, 2019 9:36 pm Sunny. Do you have an answer to my question. Accessible Carpentry & Cabinets accessiblecarpentry@gmail.com accessiblecarpentry.com.au https://www.facebook.com/pages/Accessible-Carpentry-Cabinets/583314911709039 Your build is relatively simple, I believe your job can be easily done by a good building designer, you really do not need to pay for the architect.
