I have a concern. The underground pipes were installed incorrectly; unfortunately, they do not end up in the utility room but in the kitchen. The problem is that the foundation slab has already been poured. What would be a proper professional way to remedy this defect?

I didn’t believe it at first either. The measurement error made by the company that installed the main pipeline is due to our garage extending beyond the back of the house, specifically by 110 cm (43 inches) from the measurement error.

All six incorrect points have to be located inside the utility room. The kitchen has a depth of 351 cm (138 inches) to the utility room.

We are looking forward to hearing what your site manager will say about this next week [emoji2]

I am also curious. However, I would like to know how this issue can be properly resolved by professionals.

As a layperson, I would suggest completely removing the base slab including the foundations.

His answer was that there are always slight tolerances and that it’s acceptable.

Is that his final assessment, or was it a spontaneous comment made without full knowledge of the actual extent?

Have you already formally complained about the defect in writing and requested its correction in writing? If your contractual partner is not cooperative, I would recommend seeking legal advice without delay.

Very important: You are not responsible for proposing solutions. That is the responsibility of your contractual partner. They should explain how they intend to achieve the required condition. And don’t accept weak compromises without careful consideration…

I honestly can't imagine that the site manager or tradespeople really made a mistake there. I mean, it’s a professional company! They know what they’re doing. It’s not like they were hired through MyHammer or eBay...

And if they did, be careful with the complaint process. Make sure to meet all deadlines and formal requirements. Otherwise, it won’t work out. And yes, don’t settle for a weak compromise!

But as I said... it’s probably all done correctly. Professional company...
