So far, we have been very satisfied with our craftsmen. However, we are not happy with some aspects of the plumbers’ work... Maybe we are being too picky, and everything will be covered by the screed anyway, but I would like to hear your opinion (photo: utility room). Especially noteworthy are the spacers made from polystyrene blocks... can this really be left as it is?

There is already a lot of disorder in the house. Mud is being tracked in from outside, debris is scattered everywhere, and the workers inevitably step on the exposed pipes... How is it looking on your construction sites?

Best regards, Steffi33

Why? It looks like solid work.

Everything is properly insulated and fixed to the floor, not just loosely placed... the polystyrene is used to maintain the slope...

No one cares about the dirt now once the screed or plaster goes down... it will get messy at first... then it will look good again... so you don’t need to worry.

Unfortunately, workers stepping on the pipes is unavoidable... but if anything gets damaged, the responsible party is liable...

Except for the intersection in front of the door, I also find it quite neat.

How is the complete floor structure supposed to be, and how thick is the layer where the pipes will be installed? The intersection might potentially be critical.

I would be much more concerned about the electrical and network cables lying around the edges like that. That wouldn’t be acceptable to me.

What type of floor construction is planned?

That's right, at the top right in the photo is not correct (installation zones according to DIN; network cables [orange] should be in a protective conduit).
