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

It has been repaired. Everything fits well.
But here’s a different question that maybe someone can answer without me having to start a new thread.
I visited the construction site today… it rained all day.
I noticed that on many exterior walls, the inside surface of the blocks is wet.
It looks like it’s completely soaked.
Of course, this raises concerns about moisture and mold inside the house.
Or will the plaster ultimately prevent all of this?
