ᐅ The window was relocated, but the concrete lintel was not adjusted.

Hello,

my builder installed the wrong window.
The mistake was identified and fixed by relocating and enlarging the window.
Now I have noticed that the window lintel (if that is the correct term) was not moved or replaced.

The house was constructed from precast concrete elements / assembled from precast concrete.
Should I be concerned about this?

Thank you very much.

Attention: Just an amateur opinion! If the wall above the lintel is made of cast-in-place concrete, I don’t see any problems due to the expected load transfer. The lintel essentially only supports its own weight.

Hello

I would agree with the previous poster on that.

Hello uti-pepe

I believe that the window on the right was originally the same size as the one on the left.
The mistake was noticed, the wall was cut away, and a new window was installed. At the same time, a concrete column was constructed.
The lintel is now no longer a lintel but a stone. It no longer serves the function of a lintel. A structural engineer should take a look at this. If they approve it, then everything is fine. But I wouldn’t just leave it like this without checking.

Hello everyone, thank you for your answers.

@Steven: That’s exactly how it was. Both windows were originally the same size; the right window was later enlarged.
The concrete column (with a steel beam underneath) was also added later, as the door was shifted to the left due to the window enlargement.
