Hello everyone,
we are having a standard house (formerly kfw70 standard) built without a basement.
After endless disputes with the site manager, he was replaced, and the new site manager discovered that the perimeter insulation was forgotten.
We are now completely uncertain whether our build can still be saved, as demolition has even been mentioned...
It is now being investigated whether this insulation can be installed retroactively on the foundation slab.
Does anyone here have solid experience with this and can offer advice on how we should proceed? Should we agree to retrofitting the insulation, or is that not viable at all?

Based on your drawing, I do not expect any damage from the slab not extending beyond the insulation.The expert seems to have a different opinion... I will probably have to wait until he returns from vacation.
Thank you, I was already able to see that the insolvency proceeding has been initiated (not just the preliminary one).
We have engaged a law firm that has both a construction lawyer and an insolvency lawyer. Both have already worked for us before.

The inspector apparently sees it differently... How does he justify this, and what damages does he expect?https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

Unfortunately, I have not been able to speak with him personally yet, but I consulted an architect who reviewed the case and the expert report.
Because the base is "open," moisture can supposedly penetrate the masonry, increasing the risk of mold formation. This architect could not support continuing construction without removing the brick veneer and the concrete slab.
