Hello everyone.
According to the builder, our floor-to-ceiling windows have been properly sealed from the INSIDE.
The exterior sealing is supposedly our responsibility...
How would you go about doing this?
There will be a fully covered terrace in front of all the windows... but I still think everything should be sealed correctly.
Or am I worrying unnecessarily?

I received a response from the roofer today:
6 elements:
3 full-height with 2.5m (8 feet) width
2 full-height with 1m (3 feet 3 inches) width
1 entrance with approximately 1.5m (5 feet) width
Gross price = 900 €
He added that some facing bricks, about 30cm (12 inches) to the left and right, need to be removed to create a stop point, as he needs to work behind the brickwork.
He mentioned using a liquid compound or something similar.
After consulting with the bricklayer: he is also estimating around 800 € and expects 20-30 hours of work.
Phew... really annoying.

I have now handed the whole thing over to a roofer friend of a colleague.
He is installing 4 windows, each 1m (3 feet 3 inches), one entrance door measuring 2m (6 feet 6 inches), and one side door of 1m (3 feet 3 inches) for 350€ as a friendly favor.
He approaches the brick heads from the side, so we avoid having to remove any bricks...
It’s probably not 1000% compliant with DIN standards, but better than nothing...

He is installing 4 windows, each 1 meter (3.3 feet) wide, 1 main entrance door at 2 meters (6.6 feet), and 1 side door at 1 meter (3.3 feet) for 350 Euros as a favor.
He approaches from the side at the brick edges, so we don’t have to remove any bricks...
It’s probably not 1000% compliant with the DIN standards, but it’s better than nothing... Including materials?

It’s incredible how cheap building is where you are. 30 hours for 800 euros, but those are really low wages.I have paid enough for the brickwork... I think otherwise he would have charged even more. I don’t know how long they actually take in the end, it could also be fewer hours.
