Plastering question

    Quick question

    I'm getting an extension put onto my house. The builder is demanding the "plastering complete" stage payment.

    While the walls are done, the ceilings where he broke through from the new extension into the existing house are in a mess. In addition, the floors were dug up to allow the pipework for the central heating to be connected up. I believe that when the ceilings and floors are repaired, this is when the plastering is completed. The builder believes otherwise.

    Who is right??????

    Hi
    What has the floor got to do with the plastering nothing i would think.
    But to be fair the new ope should be finished first .
    Plastering is plastering
    Floor,s are floors

    An interesting point.

    Who "certifies" that a particular stage is complete for purposes of payment ? Surely the architect should decide that ?

    Talk to your architect or engineer Dave and let him make a call on it. Then if the builder has a problem with the decision of the professional overseeing that job let him argue it out with him. For what it's worth plastering complete should mean just that in my book!
