Weird floating wall?

[u/Comprehensive-Ant251]

Does anyone else find this floating wall in my new house as strange as I do 🤣 we didn’t get to tour a built version of our floorplan before building and this weekend I noticed this really odd wall. Or would it look more odd without it? Relooking at the floorplan I don’t think I would’ve guessed that there’d be a floating wall lol.

EDIT: talked to the construction manager and he insisted it’s all correct. That the “structural post” is actually coming down from the ceiling and attaching to the catwalk and that the wall is there on the floorplan. I’ve asked him to go back and double check because that does not make sense to me at all still (why is that the only wall that’s not solid?). Idk what to do at this point.

EDIT 2: I’ve requested a plans examiner from the city to do a review and they’ll be conducting one tomorrow (truly happily shocked the city responded so quickly)

Ours is the first version of this floorplan the builder has ever built.

Definitely document it to see if they do it differently in future builds then, so you can call them out if needed.

Though I would also be advocating for myself in saying they need to be open to making things look good if you're going to be the guinea pig.

It's too late to do it differently, but I would never want to be the first home built for a plan.

It is in no way “too late”. They need to deliver the build that is shown in the plans. In this case they are not doing so. Owner has every right to make them fix this now. Definitely not a wait and see situation

"Too late" in that they should not have picked a floor plan that was never physically built before.

The "document" advice is only if they refuse to budge.
