I am working on a property at the moment nice big house full renovation all trades involved. Centre piece of the house is the new kitchen top of the range.
Architect drawing showed 12 downlights in a U shape. Ceiling to be strapped and re sheeted. Perfect, joiners strapped ceiling and I ran all my cables, measured out exactly where I wanted downlights and clipped cables to original ceiling exactly where required. I then drew a sketch and included all dimensions from walls etc and between lights so I know where to drill holes.
I scanned this sketch and emailed it to the builder for his reference so that he knew exactly where lights were going so as not to conflict with other trades
So the joiners have put their new ceiling up and it has been plastered and painted, went back to fit lights an holes have already been drilled - by joiners and the lines of downlights are like a dogs hind leg - all over the place!
Really annoyed because I always like to get these bang In line by using laser level, drilling 3mm hole right on laser line then my, in this case, 70mm hole
Customer has not commented on this yet but I don't think they have looked too close, thing is they will obviously presume I drilled the holes and think i am a numpty and this could affect my reputation. Don't want to highlight to customer as I get a good bit of work off builder and don't want to burn my bridges
Mentioned the fact they were out of line to builder and he said too late now. What do I do!!???
