Hi First posting, I was going to help a friend with their new build. She is planning to demolish her current house and build new on the footprint. She had plans and designs done by a timber frame company. She was to do ALL the groundwork’s footings, slab, drainage and services. They would then come and erect a timber frame and roof. Internal walls, no plumbing,plaster, nor electrics. she was then to do the exterior shell which, on their design was to be a mix of brick and cladding. she has changed her mind and wants a traditional build block and brick. New drawings, different materials, no timber no cladding no chimney, different layout upstairs, different position of velux etc. They have frightened her to death in that they have threatened her with legal action if she uses their design/plans. Can we build this with my suggestion above new drawings, different materials, layout etc. without copy right issues or threats. Thanks in anticipation.
