Hello,
I am currently having a disagreement with my screed installer. I have installed vinyl flooring throughout my entire house. Now I have noticed that the door threshold at the main entrance is much too high, as well as those at the patio doors. Additionally, the interior doors are supposed to be installed now, but they do not fit. The trims do not cover the lintel above the doors. The screed installer is saying that he assumed tiles would be laid in the house, and that’s why he kept the screed level so low. Are there any standards or regulations regarding this? Thanks

- What does the design specify regarding the floor structure (from the raw ceiling or base slab up to the top edge of the finished floor)?
- How is the execution carried out? What can you verify, and what do you not know?
And the legal aspects:
Who planned the project? Who contracted the screed installer? What does the contract state? With whom do you have which agreement?

non-existent communication The root cause is likely poor planning. If there is no planning at all, the respective tradesperson should, however, ask for clarification.
