Hello,
we are building with a developer. So far, we haven’t had any really bad experiences with them. But we are still at the beginning of the construction. 🙂 Our knee wall height on the first floor was recently reduced from 100cm (39 inches) to 70cm (28 inches). We only noticed this by chance on a new floor plan sketch. However, we want to keep the 100cm (39 inches) as originally agreed and signed. Unfortunately, we are not getting any response from the developer because the person responsible is always on vacation. Has anyone had similar experiences and can tell me if we now have to accept the 70cm (28 inches) height?

Regardless of the reasons, lowering this saves bricks and should be compensated. That sounds like a discount, but essentially I see it more as damages (and also the homeowner’s option to reject this change to the contractual basis).
If I order a new car, the dealer can’t simply lower it, even if they don’t charge extra for the lowering: there could be speed bumps in my neighborhood, or I might have back problems. In that case, it’s a defect of the product for me.
Similarly, the essence of a knee wall is that you rightfully expect it to fully replace a dwarf wall. Behind a normal dwarf wall, you would at least have a usable storage space. But having to step back about 40cm (16 inches) with a stud wall unfortunately does not create usable space. Or to place a bed that far away from the wall: then the passageway to the closet becomes narrower. These are not small issues you can just say “oops, I forgot to mention that to you,” is it a serious problem? — yes, it is!
