Hi, here is the post with all the changes. The washing machine ended up in the bathroom in the end. http://houzz.com/discussions/2830761

hi there perhaps you should pay attention not to the construction of the cabinet but to its design that would match the overall design of your apartment Do not hesitate to sign up for my channel in youtube, there you will learn everything about the design, put the likes, to make a repost)) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHuY28ATRji4MMfQNC-aPdw Regards, Anton Interior Designer.

Thank you everyone, I’ve spoken to 12 different cabinetry firms since Oct, non have availability or are costing over 40k. I def think I could cut down a cover panel to size so it looks like a corner but could just be a hidden door. I’m also totally ok with smaller storage space as I would want to use one slim cabinet for soaps and sponges, and the other for kids water bottles. The wider access just means we have more stuff that makes its way to the back 😄

I was going to make this comment on your other thread but here is just as good. You have a new build (given you have a site supervisor) and probably won’t have direct access to any of the trades used. A lot of our advice is more directed to where you do have access to the trades. Given you don’t have access to the trades you won’t be able to request changes to plans and fittings you’ve already signed off on. Some builders may make changes for a variation cost but you are really past this stage. The cost to do any changes with the builder now will be high and they may not want to do it at all. My best advice is move in, enjoy the property and see what really bothers you after you’ve been there a while. Any changes you can organise directly with trades in the future will be cheaper than doing them through your current builder. My second best bit of advice would be to stop focusing on cosmetic things and make sure you have a proper independent handover inspection done of the construction work.
