If only one level is notated on the plans then that should be the finished level for ALL rooms whether it is carpet, tile or timber. Any variation in the final floor heights, then that should have been on the original drawings. If not, then they haven't built it to the plans. Stewie Re: Found out raised bathroom at completion stage. 19Apr 20, 2021 3:45 pm Stewie. FFL denotes top of concrete any carpet, tiles or flooring is in top of the FFL. What you want to see is a note on the plan specifying a recessed slab in the wet areas with a detail in the plans.

FFL was always finished floor level that you walk on, not what is under it. I've specified the FFL of our lounge at RL 53830 which is top of the 19mm timber floorboards , which are on 50mm hardwood battens. That's close to 70mm difference. The FFFL of the tiled bathroom and laundry, plus bedroom downstairs are also at RL 53830. A seamless transition from timber floorboards to tiles to carpet - all at the same finished level. Underneath that though the concrete slab is three different heights for those given floor finishes.

The contract defines… 7 10762 Not unless you have managed to put it as a special condition into the contract somehow. 1 6157 |
