Final Construction Drawings - Signed

On Wednesday we attended an appointment at Porter Davis with our Building Coordinator (BC) to sign off our construction drawings.

It was supposed to be a quick 30 mins meeting but it went for about 2.5 hrs. Even though there weren't many mistakes in the drawings we still had a few changes that we needed to discuss. Our BC was also kind enough to go through the drawings with us page by page, measurement by measurement, note by note to ensure they were all up to standards and error free. She managed to pick-up a few discrepancies on the drawings which were rectified on the day.

The changes that were made are as follows:
  • Added a cold water tap to the fridge space
  • Changed the spout to the bathroom bath tub
  • Added some notes for rendering
  • Fixed the figure for the void under the kitchen island
  • Removed the note for glazing to the laundry glass doors
  • Added measurement for garage door
It was a pretty easy and successful appointment compared to our Tender and contract. We left the Porter Davis office feeling confident about the drawings and the choices we had made.

Unfortunately, that was overshadowed by the issues we had with the Natural Gas supply to the area but we are working to rectify it and feel that we have found a good solution. We're looking forward to starting the build. 

Thanks for reading :)
