Poor Design by Volume Builders

By 28 May 2018February 26th, 2024No Comments
This weekend we attended a property built by one of the largest (volume build) construction companies in the UK. One benefit of buying a property through a large company like this is that there should be no design flaws since it has been drawn up by a Technical team and had a proven track record through many hundreds/thousands of houses built in the same way. This is not always the case however as demonstrated in this house we inspected.
It is a good example how our snagging surveyors have a critical eye for detail and we draw upon our years of experience to know when something isn’t right. On arrival we knew this house design should have been reversed (or “handed” as it is known as): The position of Master Bedroom window left little room for a bed and offered a 3ft view out onto the neighbour’s rendered wall.
With such issues which is a clear design flaw, it is important to rectify because it may affect the future sale of the property.
