Finished floor level

"So you could potentially end up with a variety of screed levels across the same floor due to varying finish build up? i.e. marble/ carpet/ timber etc. Where's common sense when you need it."
In response to above ^
It is very rare that finishes are known when you begin to design a building (hence this being the sensible working definition for FFL).
Adjustments for things like an unusually thick wearing finish would typically see the screed in the localised area adjusted. This adjustment would then be denoted on applicable plans/section as a +/- from the building FFL for that level.
The minimal difference between carpet/tile etc. is lost in threshold strips.
Hope that makes sense.
