Hello.
Are there any experiences or opinions regarding a screed that is poured and then left to cure for 5-7 weeks without starting the drying process with functional heating? Could this cause any problems?
Our builder cannot install the supply lines yet because the scaffolding is still in place, and the front of the house needs to be plastered first.
Basic information:
Floating cement screed CT-F4
Thank you.

Interesting. We received cement screed with a fast-setting binder, and initially, only drafts were prohibited for the first few days. After that, all windows were left tilted open. Three weeks later, the heating protocol began. Could this be due to the fast-setting binder? The screed now looks perfect at the end of the drying phase.

If it really is a developer, then it's surprising that you are allowed inside the house.
If not, building a house also requires some personal responsibility. After at most a week, you should have at least thoroughly aired the rooms by fully opening the windows morning and evening.
You should have window handles. Yes, it is a developer – to ventilate ourselves, we would need the developer’s permission. If they allow it, we would be happy to do it, so we know it is being done. The window handles have been removed.
At first, our windows didn’t have handles either, obviously to prevent them from being opened. There is a specific recessed handle designed exactly for this purpose, which allows you to open all the windows.
After two days, we had one window on the ground floor and one under the roof tilted open – and that worked perfectly. However, our situation was in 2018 during a particularly hot summer.
The underfloor heating was only turned on about four weeks later.
So, confront the person responsible, get a handle supplied, or if necessary, buy one yourself from a hardware store. Then get the moisture out; otherwise, it won’t work.

Well, that’s unfortunate.
And it reminds me again why we decided to assign contracts ourselves. This has nothing to do with assigning contracts yourself, but with the difference between developer — general contractor (GC), general contractor with subcontractors, and individual contract assignment.
Even without individual contract assignment, with a GC you are allowed access to the house and windows.
Or am I misunderstanding what you mean by "assigning contracts yourself"?
