FloOldenHello everyone,
I have a problem and honestly don’t know how to handle it. I am currently building a timber house, and a major mistake has occurred. The house is a single-family home with both a ground floor and an upper floor. During construction, I noticed that a wall on the upper floor was misplaced by 10cm (4 inches). Because of this, no bathtub fits in the bathroom anymore. My question is, what rights do I have regarding this faulty workmanship? The wall can’t just be moved since the roof is already in place. Additionally, the walls on the ground floor are also all shifted by 10cm (4 inches).
What can I do, and what rights do I have?

How large is the planned bathtub? I can’t imagine that there isn’t a smaller one available.
