we had a loft conversion , an architect working for a surveying company drew the plans (拢500) -3 rooms including bathroom . The builder discovered plans were inacurate and an extra steel needed to be fitted. the architect admitted mistake and paid for it. when the bathroom was built it was much smaller than drawing, 160 cm at the highest point .A shower could not be fitted as the architect had drawn and the sink and toilet had to be moved . It is almost unusable as a room and Very unsatisfactory . Only by fitting a velux window (which gave a few more inches head room) can you even stand up in the room.If we had known the room would be like this we would have put in planning application for a dorma window .
The architects company have not replied to our letter of complaint asking for compensation . What is the best course of action to get compensation?Advice on getting compensation for an architects mistake?
I would say you are taking the right course of action, next step I would suggest is small claims courtAdvice on getting compensation for an architects mistake?
seems like the only option is to go to court. but prepare for very very long battle. my acquaintance had some workers screwed up with his bathroom reparement, so it took him 2 years in court to get money back
emmm, you might also want to check the plans went through building regs ok, who did this for you, the architect ?
IA 160 cm high bathroom would likely not get approved.
ombusman for architects. if hes riba registered then he's in stook!
BUY Shotgun camp on his doorstep. No Action first day write large placard to wave at all his clients. Sure he will get the message real fast. lol
