My builder has built upto oversight and DPC, done the drains and stuff, and started the interior blockwork today. I got the tapemeasure out when I got home from work (as I like to keep tabs!). I think there may be a problem....
A dimension seems to be out by about 300mm to the drawing on my single-story porch/shower-room. As a result, from my measurements, a
1200mm showever tray will no longer fit the width of the room (measures 1150mm between the interior blockwork)....I'm going to talk to the builder tomorrow morning, but i want to be armed with as much info as possible.
How closely should I expect my builder to follow dimensions? (there is no tolerance, like engineering drawings), also should the building inspector be checking these things? Why should I have to double check their work?
Am I right to question this? What approach do people think I should take? I'm guessing it's going to be a major arseache to extend footings to get the original specified dimensions (can it even be done?)
Any advise appreciated!!!
