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

Why is there a delay, actually? After the windows, there are still quite a few other things to be done in the house before any issues with the windows can even arise.
What comes to mind:
- electrician
- basic plumbing installation (water pipes)
- plastering the walls
- underfloor heating
- utility connections
All of this can also be done with the wrong windows and usually takes several weeks to complete. The actual delay is likely to be significantly shorter.

The lift-and-slide system was delayed from the very first attempt, so the opening was temporarily sealed during that time while work inside the house continued. Electrical and plumbing installations are well advanced. The base plaster has been applied. The underfloor heating will be installed soon. The screed cannot be laid up to the sliding door, so a second visit will be necessary, as will be the case for the parquet flooring. I also believe the final plaster cannot be done at this stage. These are the main issues.
