Hello everyone,
Three weeks ago, multi-layer parquet flooring was fully glued down in our newly built house. The work was carried out by a specialized company in its second generation. Immediately after the parquet was installed, we noticed a significant height difference in one spot near the wall. The company acknowledged this and made repairs by replacing four floorboards. The technician who performed the repair said the parquet had not been installed properly in that area. So far, so good.
In the meantime, the wood stove has been installed, and on its glass hearth plate you can clearly see unevenness in the parquet floor at other spots as well (one corner of the glass rests on the floor while the opposite corner is raised by at least 3mm (1/8 inch)).
My concern now is that the repaired spot was just the tip of the iceberg, and once we arrange our furniture, we will notice just how uneven other areas are. So tomorrow I plan to take a straightedge and a feeler gauge to measure some of the suspicious spots.
The parquet was laid on a cement screed, and the usual VOB contract conditions without additional additions were agreed upon. Can anyone shed some light on which tolerance or standard applies here?
Thanks, fizzybubbele

I will speak with the architect/site manager about it again tomorrow, but I’m afraid I already know his answer.The only person to discuss this with regarding form and deadlines is a lawyer; apart from that, the rule is: "if it’s written down, it counts" – in my view, your complaint raised verbally will likely be ineffective. Invest in an envelope and the cost of a registered letter.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/
