ᐅ The water is standing on the sand slab.

Hello dear forum members,

After a long wait, our construction finally started two weeks ago. The excavation contractor came and installed the sand slab. The concrete slab was originally scheduled for this week but was postponed by the structural builder to next week. Due to heavy rainfall over the last two days, large puddles have formed on the sand slab, with water running off in small streams on one side.

Our question now is, how should this be fixed? Should we let it dry as is and then repair the sand slab? And who is responsible for covering the costs of any necessary measures? Should we as the clients have protected the sand slab, or is it the responsibility of the builder?

Unfortunately, our construction consultant is currently on vacation.

Thank you in advance for any advice! We were unable to find much information on this topic through our own research.

I find it fascinating how many experts are always on vacation.

First basic question: Who owns the plot of land?

Developer or contractor?
Meaning: who is going to build the house—you or the developer?

You might laugh! But they really do travel more often than regular citizens, probably more than usual given their salary.

The land is owned by us, and we have hired a construction company to build the house.

So the developer doesn’t have to do anything, since there isn’t one.

The next question is: what was contractually agreed?
