Hello everyone,
We have a newly built house and later noticed with regret that our facade is slightly uneven:
According to the construction company, it is annoying but within the acceptable range and less than 1mm.
After consulting my lawyer, he said that the DIN 18202 standard allows a tolerance of 7mm (0.28 inches) over 2m (6.56 feet), and only between measurement points—that seems like a bad joke.
My facade looks unprofessional and poor, but it’s still within the standard???
What do you think about this? And yes, the final inspection has already taken place, but such work should not be handed over to a customer.

Our lawyer is now trying to address this through the building authority’s approval of the thermal insulation composite system. Since such approval is not available here, our builder needs to arrange this, and therefore someone must inspect the façade who is appointed by the builder. This way, we could avoid having an independent expert from our side.
