Hello,
I am in middle of a new build and only now, to my frustration and regret, learning all about building after the mistakes have been made. I assumed the builder would have put in sill heights according to the plan but I happened to do a check (this is after all windows gone in) after I happened to notice another issue with the house, on the window measurements, and realised the a lot of the windows are 2/3 inches higher than they should be and some are 4/5 inches higher. I love lots of light and the views so even to lose an inch is huge for me...I have approached the builder and while he is willing to take out two front windows of wrong measurements and knock out front wall and replace windows correctly, he is not going to go around all the house and take out all the windows of wrong measurements if I am only talking about a few inches. Has anyone any advice? Am I being being ridiculous in being upset about my non-perfect sill heights and that it's true that I will forget about this once house all furnished? Would the measurement have to be 4/5 inches off before a builder would considerr it a mistake and take the whole window out and knock out the wall? Any advice on this would be really helpful. Thanks very much
