Kitchen Island position incorrect - As we expected!

I was a little suspicious about the position of the kitchen island so today we went for a look and measure. Turns out I was right. It's not positioned where we wanted it and I know why this happened. 

During our contract appointment we noticed that the distance shown between the kitchen island and the WIP wall was noted as 1080 mm on our contract drawings. This did not match our kitchen culture drawings which showed a distance of 1170 mm from WIP which meant that the kitchen island bench top was aligned with the wall bench top.

We raised this issue and we were told that the master file was the kitchen culture drawing and that would be used during installation. Apparently not! 

This really isn't the end of the world for us but it is quite annoying. Luckily, I have emails and signed document showing the exact location we wanted the island. Hoping that it's not too late to relocate the island.

Lesson learnt: Don't take anyone's word whilst building. Fingers crossed this gets resolved :)

    Fingers crossed... it should be as simple as moving the cabinetry (shouldn't it?).

      Yea should be simple but not sure what they've cut out inside to pass through the plumbing. They might have to replaced that bottom panel.
