Good evening everyone,
after our screed installer finished, our architect approached us and said that the top edge of the multi-duct connection is about 8 cm (3 inches) below the finished floor level, which means we won’t get a clean edge. However, there is an extension system from a company called Hauff for around €400 to bridge the remaining 8 cm (3 inches).
My question to the experts here:
Is it really necessary to extend the connection up to the finished floor level? Will we face any issues when the utility connections are installed if we don’t extend it?
I would appreciate your experiences. We want to save the money if possible.
Thanks and best regards

Here you can see a perfect counterexample that fits perfectly, thanks: the multi-trench connection is specifically designed so that the trench (or excavator) does not have to be dug separately for each utility line.

For the "somewhat" too low height, I expected 1-2 cm (1 inch). 8 cm (3 inches) is a significant deviation. Was the installer of the multi-utility house entry point aware of your finished floor level? If so, I see the fault with them. Request a correction.

8 cm (about 3 inches) is a significant deviation. Was the installer of the multi-utility house entry aware of your finished floor level? If so, I see the fault with them. You should request a correction. I tend to see the fault with the civil engineers. They installed the multi-utility connection, then came the base slab, floor insulation, and finally the screed. Now we’re missing about 8 cm (about 3 inches). Is there a regulation that requires the multi-utility connection to be flush with the finished floor level?
