Hello,
is it necessary to seal the vertical joints of a 36.5cm (14.4 inches) exterior wall behind a pre-wall installation to prevent moisture from penetrating the masonry? Without sealing, the joints would be protected on the outside by plaster and on the inside by drywall panels plus tiles. The general contractor has not sealed them so far, and the rough installation is complete.
Thank you very much for your answers!

So you want to build a nearly 6 m (20 feet) long and 20 cm (8 inches) wide garage-high dirt gap between the house and the garage. What will happen to it with wind and weather, and when is the garage going to be built anyway?
Let’s calculate: 8 cm (3 inches) finished garage wall thickness (16 cm (6 inches) total for both sides) plus 20 cm (8 inches) gap, that’s 36 cm (14 inches) in total. If you build the garage with sand-lime bricks (15 cm (6 inches)), the total is only 30 cm (12 inches). You can build it to size, and the dirt gap disappears; you also get a symbolic handful of extra clear width on top.

The foundation is already built, and the order for the garage has been placed.
I expect the exterior plastering of the house and the garage installation to take place in July.
Assuming there are no issues with the building authority (since the garage is approved as shown in the picture, and garages in Hesse either have to be on the property boundary or 1 meter (3.3 feet) away) and no problems with the structural engineering (because the two strip foundations already exist), where is the best place to position the garage between the house and the neighboring garage from a construction perspective? The aspect of dirt concerns me only marginally. Would it make the most sense to place it directly against the house wall without plaster between them? That way, there would be 25 centimeters (10 inches) of space on the other side between the two garages, which sounds like the least problematic option to me.

It’s a channel exposed to all wind and weather, which really depends on your taste. Wind and rain will get in there. Schulzki schrieb:

Of course, the prefabricated concrete garage attached to the house is best installed before the ground floor ceiling is in place.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/
