It all boils down to your mistake. So moving forward.... (13mx2)+(1.08mx2) = 28.16m $3,500/28.16m = $124.29 per meter Take that $ figure and multiply it by the length of the perimiter of teh area that needs rectification in the living area. If is any significant amount off from the quoted figure of $7k, speak to teh builder about it. Let us know what $ you come back with edit - also what about your entry lounge, youve not mentioned that. Is that needing to be addressed also? I ended up refusing to pay that silly amount for ceiling, and the builder ended up changing 1st Living room ceiling in revenge and still charging 3k, so I ended up removing front Ceiling room as well! Game over I like the bit where you think you won. Now you don't have the feature you wanted and you have a terrible relationship with your builder while there's still building going on Rofl. The irony of this is is that after all that, it was still your fault. Game over, indeed. Right, and as if asking 7K for a 2K job is cementing the relationship. You HAVE to be someone from the building industry who can come up with such silly logic anyways...... This forum was indeed helpful.
