Hello everyone,
for better moisture protection, the waterproof membrane will then be extended up along the exterior walls, similar to a basin.
When I mentioned this to the builder, they responded:
the waterproof membrane will NOT be extended up the exterior wall.

The installation complies with the requirements of the DIN standard.

How necessary is this? Should I insist on having the membrane extended up the wall?

Corner with white tiled walls, dark, dirty floor and moisture at the base.


Corner: white wall meets gray tiles, dark floor; dust, stains and chipping at the base.


Empty room with white wall blocks and dark gray floor.

Are the walls built on waterproofing membranes? Raising them up is not necessary; whether you want to insist on that is up to you, but I think your builder will be unlikely to agree with you on this...

It seems that the damp-proof membrane is also missing.

Yes, what did they put under the masonry?

Something can be seen beneath the masonry

Corner at the house foundation with crumbling plaster, exposed concrete edge, and autumn leaves.


Construction site: White blocks stacked in front of the wall, wet ground, pallets in the background.

This can somehow be read between the lines from the builder’s response.
