if the builders do not or will not put a boxout on the ground and/or relocate the piping, is it possible to put in a subfloor that will raise the ground clearance up to avoid having to break the concrete and use the supply fittings like you suggested?
Mark's out working so I'll answer your question. Yes it's possible to platform the tub as you suggested but it would be a much neater job to simply hammer out a tub hole amd use Marks offset tub waste and overflow to connect the tub. Because of the position of the trap raiser in relation to the front plate this was obviously meant for a tub. There were two mistakes the builder didn't pick up on, 1) the dap-our was never boxed and filled with dirt so the cement guys poured it over **and** 2) the plumber missed his mark when he set the trap. These mistakes should be corrected by the builder at no cost to you as it sound as though you may still be under warranty. Good luck, Tom
