ᐅ The windows are smaller than specified in the building permit/planning permission or construction plans.

Hello,
we have a problem with the windows in our new build. Unfortunately, the discrepancy was only discovered after the house handover. According to the building permit/plans, the windows should be 6cm (2.5 inches) taller than they currently are. The sill height is also 6cm (2.5 inches) too high. This is very frustrating for us, as this height was a compromise and I would have preferred even larger windows...
Does anyone have advice on how to proceed?
Thank you very much

So you formally accepted the windows as free of defects, even though they are too small?

We noticed it shortly afterwards.

But you accepted them without defects in the delivered size. What defect are you trying to claim now?

We assumed it would fit. Unfortunately, we did not double-check everything.

Well, that’s just how it is. Sometimes, a bit too small and tight can actually look quite nice.
