Meyer37Hello,
we are currently building a single-family house in Baden-Württemberg with a general contractor, and the shell structure has just been completed.
During the inspection with our expert, it was noticed that the masonry waterproofing was not carried out fully in compliance with the standards.
It should have been implemented as shown in the top image; unfortunately, the yellow-marked area is missing. The membrane has not been wrapped around the strip foundation but is only laid horizontally.
I have not yet spoken with the general contractor because I am still unsure about how to proceed.
What options do I have? Which ones are reasonable and proportionate?
Is this something where I should demand a defect repair? Or can it be overlooked if everything else is correct? How critical is the missing part?
So far, I am satisfied with the contractor and somewhat hesitant/afraid to disturb the good relationship.
