Hi, the exterior walls on the ground floor are already up.
When measuring carefully today, I noticed that one of the patio doors in the living room has been shifted by 10cm (4 inches). Instead of 263cm (104 inches) from the wall to the window, it is now 273cm (107 inches), and on the other side, instead of 513cm (202 inches), it is only 503cm (198 inches) (see picture).
I don’t think you can add 10cm (4 inches) of masonry on one side of the wall extension and then remove 10cm (4 inches) on the other side.
I also know it probably won’t cause any real problems (maybe just looks a little different), but this wasn’t how it was planned.
So my question is whether anything can be done about this? Possibly also regarding the costs?
Thanks and best regards

Already now
So far, there have only been one delay after another.
According to the plan, the roof should actually be completely finished by now.
But next Wednesday, the ceiling will be installed first.
The structural builder is simply taking on too many contracts and cannot keep up, or is not receiving materials because of shortages everywhere.

It happened!
It happened!
Our shell construction was carried out with extreme precision, sometimes fitting down to the millimeter. However, the rough opening for one bathroom door was built too large (because this door is smaller than the others). We pointed this out, and the next day it was correctly fixed. The bricks were removed and rebuilt, which was no problem at all. This can definitely be corrected, especially since your ceiling has not been installed yet.
