ᐅ Walls in the shell construction stage already affected by moss growth

InstabilHello everyone,
We are currently, unfortunately still, in the shell construction phase and noticed during our last site visit that a wall, as shown in the pictures, is so wet because water is running down from the un-drained roof terrace that the wall on the first floor already has moss growth.
Is there a way to dry this wall quickly so that the plasterer can start soon?
Explanation:
The roof terrace on the second floor currently has no drainage apart from the outlet where water runs directly along the exterior wall; it was simply forgotten... as was the insulation of the roof terrace, which luckily we as the clients noticed in time.
The missing drainage only became apparent to us after the walls had already been built.
In the meantime, pipes have been laid in the floor for the drainage of the roof terrace, but the general contractor is ignoring the other issues.
What options do we have to dry the wall quickly, properly, and effectively?
Best regards,
M

The water must be directed away from the wall on the outside, no matter what. Otherwise, you can dry the interior as much as you want.
First address the cause, then the symptoms.
Can you connect something to the drainage at the top? A PVC elbow/pipe and route it away from the building.
But why do you want to dry the wall? Plastering will introduce more water into your house than it has ever seen before.
What does the house look like from the outside? Is the insulation already attached?

The missing drainage is not something that can remain absent any longer – this significant defect must be corrected; otherwise, any further steps are pointless.
And don’t forget: document damages with an expert assessment and bill the responsible party properly and within the deadline!
