      When Gold isn't enough, there is SA Gold! New to the forum and find the UE route a bit scary? Take a look at my diary here and judge for yourself. I am now saving the money each month that was making little difference to the balance and not a bit of difference to my credit file as a result of finding AAD.

          Having had fill of bodging architects, engineers, nasty neighbours and builders this year, I have learnt the devil is in the detail, and you need to be aware at the outset of the world being against you at every turn.

          Request to change slab is request to change slab That does not require BCO approval unless the previous covering was permeable and the new one over ??m and impermeable, On the face of it, they appear to have presented plans to the BCO who has asked for alterations before passing. Could be the new builder put in a fixed price against plans provided by him or an other. Change in plans = change in price even if it was his miscalculation or ineptitude in not knowing current Building Regs as 50%+ Builders. Those builders will try and pull the wool over the customers' and the BCO's eyes, cut corners and then when found out will blame all and sundry, lie and claim 30 years experience and teat they have never been called back ( we certainly won't, if they ever finish).

          Alternative would be for the garage floor and corresponding DPC and DPM to be raised above the level required (6in?), and cut into the existing fabric, perhaps needing a step. Sounds like the new builder miscalculated and now wants more money and is into blaming everybody but his own incompetence. Your husband is the unfortunate scapegoat.
