Hello,
The underfloor heating is currently being installed in our new build, and I noticed this bend.
You can feel a narrowing when you press on it.
The architect and heating company say this is fine, but I don’t agree.
Edit: Some info about the heating pipe being used: Empur Klimapex PE-RT 17x2 millimeters (approx. 0.67x0.08 inches).
Thanks in advance.
Best regards

Been there, done that. It’s not that bad, but dealing with contractors can be frustrating. It’s not pleasant, but certainly not a disaster. The fact that they agreed to fix it actually shows that they do care to some extent.
If I were you, I would bring an expert on board to support you in these matters – after all, it’s still the shell of the building and there’s probably a lot that can be checked and put your mind at ease.

I decided against hiring an expert back then because I thought building with an architect would make life much easier. But the guy is on site maybe once a week, if that, and I have found and reported all the defects—really ALL of them—to the architect. Sometimes I wonder what I am even paying him for.
I already did that; I sent him a strong email back then, stating that it is not my responsibility to spend hours on the construction site every day looking for defects. Since then, things have improved a bit. I also haven’t paid the progress payment for three weeks, and that will not change.

Oh, it is still the shell construction stage, so you can probably still see a lot and ease your conscience a bit.You can’t see anything anymore – the walls must have already been plastered. For an expert, it’s actually too late at this point – they usually make things worse when trying to fix them now.
Have you also commissioned the appropriate project phase? My architect hasn’t been around since the installation of the roof and windows – he didn’t consider it necessary anymore.
