HC -Initially the Architrave was at 100mm and when we had to fix the wardrobe of 600mm depth we did not have enough depth since the partition depth from the door to the back wall was not as per the ID drawing.

CC-Our agreement with you to follow the CC approved shop drawing and to measure reference CC/GYS/LPO/1701 dtd 25/02/17 item no -1 & 2 and to insert ID component in our shop drawing and raise the RFI if any discrepancy.

    Our contract says:-

1. Shop drawing to be prepared as per the partition drawing with reference to site measurement with mock up and other rooms from 2^nd floor.
2. Wardrobe size must be in respect to depth/width/height considering the FF level and site measurement to be carried out prior to fabrication.
3. Our total measurement from one point to other point or from one wall to other wall is mention in our drawing and algebraic sum of your components must be within our dimension.

“If this equation is not satisfied the left end side to be considered constant, we cannot change the partition and you modify the dimension to satisfy the equation at right end side”

 HC-Hence we had to make another architrave of 75mm to make this fit. As a matter of fact, we have incurred extra cost with the alternate architrave and other overheads. Regarding the permission to remove re-fix is questionable only when Chirag has taken a formal handover from us.

CC-Our contract did not give the freedom to the sub-contractor to make any change without following the procedure of the change / proper channel and final decision to be taken by competent authority and that to be validated and forwarded by the main contractor to the sub-contractor .why unauthorized change executed?……….scope creep/  not allowed
