Hello!
I was at the construction site today; the patio door was supposed to be installed. It’s a sliding system with one fixed pane and one sliding pane. You probably know what I mean. In any case, the sliding door was meant to be on the right side. Next to it are the light switches, so this way it would be a perfect passage through the living room. Now the sliding door is installed on the left side. In front of it, there is supposed to be a dining table, so you’d always have to walk around it to get outside, and from the outside, you’d have to go around the fixed pane to reach the light switches. I don’t want it like that. The architect says the company will at most hint at a small discount; replacing it would be too much of a loss (not to mention the construction time would be extended by 6–8 weeks, which would simply be the case). Do you have any experience, ideas, or suggestions? I could really cry.
Best regards

Take them out and rotate. In our case, the wrong cisterns were buried. Once this became clear, they were dug up and replaced.

Who planned it this way? And who gave their approval!

The one who made the mistake should be the one to pay.

I hope it is correctly included in the construction plan and that you haven’t approved anything that corresponds to the current situation. If this is contrary to the specifications in the construction plan, as others have already said: remove it. The solution should be provided by those who overlooked it, not you.

Rotating it is not possible; it would have to be completely redone. The window manufacturer actually made the mistake. The architect planned it correctly and even went back to the office this evening to double-check whether he or I might have made an error. And no, we did not approve it like this.

Set a deadline to fix this; it can be done within 3 weeks, and all costs must be covered by the window manufacturer.
