According to the factory plans, our roof eave at the gable side is supposed to extend 20cm (8 inches) beyond the outer edge of the external thermal insulation composite system. However, it was built with only a 3cm (1 inch) overhang from that point.

The appearance is now not as desired or planned, and we suspect that our construction company obviously cut costs on materials here.

Has anyone else been in a similar situation?

Did you request a price reduction? If so, how much? Did you receive it?

Or do you consider this being overly picky?

Best regards

Is this the weather-exposed side? If so, I would find it more than just unattractive...

It is the north and south side.

I don’t understand the problem – or is there a missing "c"?

Yes – I do think it is 3 cm (1.2 inches) and not 3 m (10 feet).
At least it’s not on the weather-exposed side.
Are the 20 cm (8 inches) specified in the contract, or was that just an agreement?

The factory plans, which included the 20cm (8 inches), were part of the construction contract.
