I changed my windows / doors to 2400 WHH and even that was costly, so can only imagine 2700 WHH would be more. I did post about this the other day in terms of any feedback on the contract spec document, however I would think TA would revert back to the contract specification document where they could around the measurement allowances +/- 10mm etc in terms of what could be done to rectify. the only ideas I could come up with if there is a gap between frames and ceiling is potentially pack out the bottom of the frame a little, given I assume there will be some sort of floor covering over the slab (e.g. timber boards) that would help hide the frame being lifted a little. alternatively, may be they could thicken out the plaster in the ceiling so that it lines up with the window / door frames? I guess it depends on the size of the gap. good luck Re: Thomas Archer Hive 46 (customised) Build 2020-21 40Sep 09, 2020 8:29 pm sifntdaz that's no good, i can imagine there would have been quite a bit of cost involved in achieving the effect you are after, e.g. reducing the ceiling height / having the void between first and ground floor slightly larger at 600 as well as the increased costs around windows / doors.

But Looking at TA’s own internal review which highlighted all the windows and stacker to be not flush, I am not sure if it’s only stacker. Also, stacker’s supposed to be rebated, so no, they can’t lift the stacker. If they hide from the top then it doesn’t look nice. I have paid money to have floor to ceiling and hoping TA admit their mistake and fix it. Waiting for tomorrow to get the inspection report. We spent close to 2 years in a process with TA. It was horrible..... we got to tender, and the first cut was 50% over our budget which "they care such about meeting ". We… 18 27133 Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense. I guess when you talk to a builder who butters up everything to look very polished, you get to start believing… 8 17183 thank you! do we need to get this or our builder before we commence new build on the block? 2 10260 |
