ᐅ Water Connection Installed Incorrectly – Is There a Right to Rectification from the General Contractor?

This is how it looks. The statements made by the original poster imply nothing other than that there were no agreements. Therefore, your case is completely different.

This is a matter of coordination. In our bathroom, a stone basin will be placed on an antique table in front of a Sicis glass mosaic wall. The black wall-mounted fixtures and siphon have been carefully selected. Everything has been discussed and marked out. I wouldn’t accept even half a centimeter (0.2 inches) deviation.

I find zero tolerance difficult. Money can’t buy everything. But your trades are progressing. For me, it has become clear during the finishing stage that coordination is important, but checks combined with dropping by for a coffee every day are essential.

Absolutely right, trying to buy everything with money alone is quite foolish. Some tolerance for deviations is always necessary in housebuilding. However, it is also important that visually sensitive areas, as agreed with the homeowner and within technical possibilities, are executed to near perfection.

Yes, that certainly helps in my case too. I visit the site every 2–3 weeks (about one hour by car from home) to monitor progress. I feel it’s important to thank the people who bring me so much joy (now) and quality of life (in the future) through their work. I make a point of catching them when something is going well—and that is always rewarding and effective, whether with my own children or employees.

If you are building an average house where the bathroom is a place to save some money because the budget is limited, there might not be detailed planning for the bathroom. Either everything is clear according to the drawing, or there is enough tolerance in the dimensions so that the rest is not an issue.

If I place a black box order, I might regret it later but have to accept compromises. There is probably no entitlement to adjustments afterwards.

In this case... yes... a washbasin doesn’t belong squeezed into a corner anyway... a proper photo or something like that is not coming from the original poster. Twice your own fault, I can only say. Stepping into a trap and then not even accepting the help offered.

On the other hand, I wouldn’t show up in my own thread again if someone here, all snobbish as we know him, starts telling me something about a slaughterhouse.

First, I didn’t read anywhere that the sink was installed unofficially or that the water connection was. How do you know that? If that is the case, it does not change the fact that this defect justifies completely removing the tiles and relocating the connection. Whether tax-free or taxable. K.

That was mentioned in another thread by the original poster....
