Hi there,
The issue that I am having is I am building a new house and the plumbers are absolutely hopeless. Being an industrial plumber and spending 8 months on new houses during my apprenticeship. I have a more brighter idea than these fella's. From issues during rough-in-stage pipe being clipped in lazy noggins out of square by 50mm ect the list goes on.
On the fit-off stage, we have a toilet installed that has hidden plumbing with a uni orbital connecter. The problem is we have 120mm high tiles for the toilet splashback kicker. The plumbers have installed back to the tile and not to the wall itself. In my experience we would have the tilers lay off the back kickers until we finished toilet installation so that it can fit flush with the wall. Or rarely cut the tile out in line with the water closet. Mine is 20mm off the wall (not only that the cowboys have not alligned the cistern about 30mm out of square) is there anywhere in the regs or building codes that state flush wall installations?
I would just yell at the builder and get things straight. but every time I do I get so much pushback that it drives me crazy even when I say things are substandard work. Its been an absolute nightmare with this build and wish I did everything myself.
Toilet in question is a Caroma Luna Closed Faced Cistern
