ᐅ The windows on the roof terrace are installed in an unusual way.

Hello everyone,
I have a question.
Are the windows/doors on our roof terrace installed correctly?
They were initially fully installed but were later pulled out like this.
It looks very makeshift to me.
No, only plaster will be applied afterwards, no additional insulation.
The brown substance is waterproof slurry, which we started applying today as a precaution because during the last rain moisture came straight through.

Half of the window is sticking out??? I don’t understand why your building inspector has no opinion at all. Even without experience, they should at least have or pretend to have an opinion. Our energy consultant wants photos of the window installation. Maybe your energy consultant has an opinion?

We never dealt with them personally.B

Execution planning -> detailed design. You really don’t have a detailed design? That sounds unusual...Our developer built without it. In the end, it wasn’t as bad as you might expect (as long as you stick to the “developer’s standard”).Bieber0815 schrieb:

Our general contractor built without following the proper procedures. It wasn’t as bad as one might think (as long as you stick to the "contractor standard").Since June last year, we have pointed out these exact issues—that the structural builder did not complete the waterproofing—and since the end of September about the windows... without any response!
Yesterday, we applied waterproof slurry to the entire base area, up to above the backfill line, and also to the top of the windows, after consulting with the plasterer, who approved the solution.
There are plenty of defect reports, but no reaction! Deadlines are also being ignored.

The best approach is usually, in order, good communication and legal action (specialized construction lawyer). Then the question arises: Is it better to have a painful end than a never-ending problem? In other words, if the contractor fails to meet their obligations, this may justify terminating the contract for work. Again: of course, only with legal support.
