ᐅ Lint above interior doors too high – new construction

Hello,

We are currently building with an architect, and the screed has been installed. A carpenter came to measure our doors. According to the construction plans, the rough opening height for the interior doors should be 2.13 m (7 ft) to fit the standard 2.11 m (6 ft 11 in) doors. However, he measured between 2.17 and 2.19 m (7 ft 1.5 in to 7 ft 2.5 in). Is this a tolerable variation, or is there an error? If so, who is responsible? The shell builder or the architect, since invoices have already been approved and paid.

After the screed, the floor coverings will be installed, which will further reduce the difference. I don’t see any drastic "gap" here, just a comfortable tolerance.

Our construction expert recently told me that in a shell construction, you have to expect tolerances of up to 12%. Depending on the flooring, you will end up around 2.15m (7 feet) high, or even less if leveling compound is used. A door manufacturer should be able to accommodate this.

The height will fit well. The frame fits easily and covers everything.

It will fit, you can take it easy here...

Great, then I am relieved. Thank you very much.
