My remodel is finally coming into the home stretch. The cabinets on one wall have all been installed, but on the other side there's a problem with the location of the gas supply for the stove. At the time it was put in, I had only made a preliminary plan. It shows a 30" range, 18" from the end wall, for a total of 48". The final design has an 18" cabinet at the end, but there's a filler between the end cabinet and the wall which makes it effectively more like 20" wide. The plumber put the gas supply line 49-1/2" from the wall with a flange about 2.5" in diameter around the pipe where it comes out of the floor, and it's probably going to have to be moved. My question is, should moving the gas supply be considered a change order, which I will be charged for, or is it a correction, which should be done at no additional charge?
I don't know why he put the supply line where he did. Shouldn't it have been put closer to the middle of the stove to avoid this very problem?
