Sorry I wasn't clear. Anytime I call about an issue they act like my
issue isn't a big deal... nothing I should complain about. Like the
builder was going to move the laundry room wall another three feet
into the garage, and didn't do it. But, I was told by my realtor that
since he wasn't charging us for this change there was nothing I could
do about him not doing it. It was also a verbal agreement, and was
not in the contract... so it was a lesson learned for me. Also, he
placed a door opening in the opposite direction that the plans
showed... when I called about it and spoke to the realtor I was told
that the plans were just wrong.

It is hard to say what the builder's attitude is. Unfortunately I have
very little direct contact with the builder, since i am required to
field all questions through my realtor and she fields them through his
realtor. Every question I have had has been like a game of telephone.

The window not be centered, just bothers me. The plans show it
centered and that is the way I want it.

Here is a link to the picture of just the side of the window:

Please let me know if you think I am being overally picky.

If the plans are (and it appears it should be) for the window to be
centered on the outside, then there should be no question and I'd
demand it be made to match the plans if that's what you want. It's
enough out of symmetry that it could be an issue on a resale, I'll
agree.

As an aside, the arrangement seems absurd, but if you're somehow
contractually obligated to deal that way, then I guess it's so. I
would make the phone call but follow it up w/ written (and not e-mail
written, but snail-mail written w/ delivery confirmation to both that
the window location doesn't meet the specifications of the plans and
you expect it to be corrected. As someone else said, if the plans are
clear and it's not where they say it belongs, then it's wrong -- end
of story, what they say is/isn't a "big deal" has no bearing
whatsoever on the discussion. Don't let them sidetrack the issue --
"it's wrong, fix it"

"But, it's only a few inches."

"It's wrong, fix it."

"Nobody will pay any attention but you."

"It's wrong, fix it."

....etc., etc., etc., ...

I plan to call my realtor in the morning.
