ᐅ The heating system does not fit into the utility room as planned.

Hello,
after several frustrations with the way our site manager has been handling things, we experienced another major issue over the weekend.
Our heating system was installed.
Unfortunately, its dimensions do not match the planned measurements. As a result, the heater now partially blocks the window, and the window cannot be fully opened.
According to the plan, the heater was supposed to be positioned to allow enough space by the window.
The site manager prepared the plan and the specifications and presented them to us for signature. We then commissioned the heating system.
Now it turns out that it does not fit as expected.
The site manager claims that his drawing was only schematic.
That alone is quite frustrating.
It remains to be determined to what extent this is a planning error.
Is this something one has to accept? The actual dimensions deviate from those in the plan.
My main question now is: if we have to accept it as it is, we will need to minimize the damage:
The heater is placed in the rear right corner, angled in front of the window, about 70 cm (28 inches) from the exterior wall. Next to the heater, in the direction of the window, an expansion vessel and a filling station for the external unit are installed.
If these could be relocated to a different position, it might be possible—if at all feasible—to rotate the heater and place it directly against the exterior wall. (Theoretically, there is enough space. The heater is 70 cm (28 inches) wide, and the space is 80 cm (31 inches).
Is this even possible? Can the expansion vessel and filling station be relocated?
Thank you in advance for any advice.
Best regards, Franzi

You can leave the window tilted open or make the drilled openings.
Does daylight come in as well?
So far, I have only shown the utility room to visitors, just my father-in-law who is interested in the technical aspects.
For me, it is a functional room without any comfort factor.

Well, if you see it that way. I’m frustrated because I want to build my dream house and have tried to pay attention to every detail, including the utility room. That’s why I’m really upset about this. I even had the outdoor unit moved specifically so it wouldn’t be in front of the window. And now the indoor unit ends up in front of the window... [emoji24]

We do. The window cannot be fully opened; it scrapes against the radiator.Sorry, typical woman and graphic designer... functionality should be the priority. Others have already mentioned that the tradesperson needs access everywhere during inspections or if there are issues.
If you can vaguely see the boiler from outside, SO WHAT? Which way does the window open? To the back, facing the garden shed? That will never bother anyone.
And as I said, the main thing is that it can be ventilated. My neighbor keeps hers permanently tilted open. When it’s fully open: ZAPP za rapp.
