ᐅ The structural contractor installed the windows 10 cm off from the original position.

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

The company met with us during the planning consultation/sampling.
However, there were many changes, including in the bathroom and kitchen, which meant we had to completely rethink everything.
All because of seismic zone 1, which they should have actually known beforehand.

I would be interested in an explanation...

Hahaha
I actually made a mistake with the wall/window.

But now they have really installed the interior walls incorrectly.
They are offset by 10 cm (4 inches), which mainly matters because it makes the guest bathroom even narrower than it already was.

I’m curious to see what the site manager will say tomorrow.

perhaps this will become clearer later. I cannot imagine that the shell builders would measure so inaccurately, since they also have plans and a tape measure.

Best regards,

I would ask to see the plans or point this out to the site manager. Just to make sure it’s not a preliminary version.

Well, if one stone is measured incorrectly, and then perhaps the reference point as well, it can already affect the rest.
