QUOTE As far as construction goes, contractors normally do not do an exact mirror image of the next unit. The will offset about 3-5" from the other unit if the party wall is 4.5" thick. Offset what? If there is a bathroom, does that mean the washbasin and w.c. would be fixed 3.5" from the wall? It's not up to the contractor, they have to follow the building plans. |

QUOTE(muhibah @ Mar 5 2012, 09:56 PM) Thanks all, looks like i need to avoid this common/party wall and built false wall to conceal piping and wiring. going to waste such precious floor space, but what to do. Your contractor should be able to use a masonry cutter to cut a 2" trench into the wall without damaging the wall on the neighbour's side. Cutting a 2" deep recess into a 6" thick wall shouldn't be a problem. Building another layer of wall to conceal the piping does not make sense. |
