Good evening everyone,
after our screed installer finished, our architect approached us and said that the top edge of the multi-duct connection is about 8 cm (3 inches) below the finished floor level, which means we won’t get a clean edge. However, there is an extension system from a company called Hauff for around €400 to bridge the remaining 8 cm (3 inches).
My question to the experts here:
Is it really necessary to extend the connection up to the finished floor level? Will we face any issues when the utility connections are installed if we don’t extend it?
I would appreciate your experiences. We want to save the money if possible.
Thanks and best regards

I see the mistake more with the civil engineers. They installed the multi-utility connection first. Then the concrete slab, floor insulation, and finally the screed were installed. Now we are about 8cm (3 inches) short. Is there a regulation stating that the multi-utility connection must be flush with the finished floor level?There isn’t a specific regulation. But it has to fit; otherwise, it won’t work. Whoever makes the opening should have measured beforehand. You can only have it corrected without additional cost.H

Is an extension up to the finished floor level really necessary? No, but it is highly advisable.

Will we have problems if the utility connections are installed otherwise? The likelihood of issues increases.

I think it’s mainly because we have a relatively thick insulation layer on the ground floor. The reference point "top of the raw subfloor" was correct. However, since the insulation plus the screed was added on top, the top of the multi-utility connection ends up below the finished floor level. So, do I probably have to pay for the extension?

Did the groundworker know the finished floor level?
If not, it is unfortunate that he did not ask, which complicates the discussion...

If not, ... it is often the start of a surprisingly incorrect finished floor height :-(
