Yep……no reason why this window should not be in the centre.
Quoins should not make any difference to this.

The site supervisor is going to the house tomorrow morning to have a look, and is going to give hubby a call. As we are renting and keen to move, we may look at leaving it and asking for some kind of compensation... what would be reasonable here do you think??? Im guessing the builder will either say he will fix it, knowing that most people will say dont bother, or do nothing Will let you know how it goes. Meanwhile, here are some pictures of my kitchen, seems they got that bit right Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Oh, come on now... 56Jul 22, 2008 12:17 am Adlse

Im guessing the builder will either say he will fix it, knowing that most people will say dont bother, or do nothing If you are happy for it it be off centre then maybe they can buy you a nice established tree to plant in front of it. If it was me though I would want it fixed, I would see it everyday and it would annoy me. Unless there was the tree there........

Mmm thats a tough one, you need to work out how much it would cost to replace then add 10% for the effort and inconvience it will cause.

Hubby spoke to the site supervisor, who agrees that it is not to plan. As this is a fault of the sub-contractor (carpenter), our builder will not be out of pocket. The sub-contractor has been made aware of the error and has agreed to foot the cost of repair (this includes completely redoing the whole wall from frame to gyprock including window frames, skirting and such...). This will add approx 4 weeks to build time. Handover is due in approx 4-6 weeks. Options are 1. redo wall and look at handover being in about 8-10ish weeks, or 2. do nothing and have handover in 4-6 weeks. Both handover dates are still within contract time. As the builder is not going to be out of pocket for redoing the wall, and have offered to have the wall redone, Im not sure where we stand with 'compensation'... I think hubby wants to redo the wall, but I am ok to move in and plant a tree (which was always on the cards). A friend said, "in a years time, is it still going to bother you?", to be honest, I dont think so.... Any thoughts... 9 24757 This is one of the reasons I decided to go overseas for my double glazed windows. As the builder indicated, he's worked on many upmarket builds, these were the most well… 13 19081 2 15459 |
