When comparing actual new construction condo dimensions (interior dimensions) with those listed in the offering plan, what kind of tolerances are normal / to be expected, and where do differences become large enough that a complaint should be filed with the attorney general? For example (actual numbers made up by me):

1-2 inches: normal construction tolerances
2-4 inches: greater than expected disrepancies, but probably not enough to complain about
4-6 inches: grounds exist for filing a complaint

If any one has a handle for what the above numbers should really be (either in absolute terms, or as a relative % of the dimension), that would be greatly appreciated.

Just to be clear, I’m talking about interior dimensions (backed by the scale drawings of the floor plan), and not a proxy measure of overall square footage (which includes interior walls, etc.).

Many thanks for your help,
