Hello
Last week, our foundation slab was poured, and today I took some measurements.
The house is 10 x 9 m (33 x 30 ft). One side measures the full 9 m (30 ft), but the opposite side is 8.977 m (29 ft 5.5 in), so it is 2.3 cm (0.9 inches) shorter. Is this still within an acceptable tolerance?
Looking forward to your advice.

On the internet, you can comfortably use informal address.
2.3cm (0.9 inches) over 10 meters (33 feet) is within tolerance... Bricklayers are not precision craftsmen.
The construction tolerances are regulated in DIN 18202. I’m not familiar with the detailed rules, but 1% tolerance is definitely acceptable not only during the structural shell phase.
But what does acceptable mean: the bricklayer can fix it.
