Want to know what my rights are as I'm unhappyCan you explain why you're unhappy? Had you been told the dimensions would be something else?Generally speaking, the price is the price. In the UK we don't pay £x per square foot for residential property. The contract is unlikely to require more than them to build something close enough to correspond with what's been approved for planning and building regulations purposes (and I doubt that plan is being used for either). You're not going to have the right to complain because there's a couple of inches' discrepancy here or there.0

Looking at it again, I think the problem may just be that they've made a mess of converting from metric to imperial. The dimensions in mm make more sense e.g. 2596 mm is 8'6", not 13'5" - bedroom 2 obviously isn't almost square.

their 2 error(s) are
converting bed 2 width for mm to ft and inches incorrectly - 2596mm is 8' 6" (not 13' 5")
adding the wrong numbers together for the house depth....width fine at 15' 7" but adding the correct dimensions for front to back of house together would be...
downstairs 10' 7" + 13' 8" = 24' 3" (not 22' 8")
upstairs 13' +11' = 24' (not 24' 5")
difference is therefore 3"0 -
