ᐅ Construction Tolerances

Hello everyone,

Some time ago, we had a pool built, and after installing the pool surround, we noticed that the stones of the pool edging were not laid level. Over a distance of 2 meters (6.5 feet), there is a height difference of 2 cm (0.8 inches) or more. It looks visually awful, and the construction company says this is completely within the tolerance of the German standard and therefore is not a defect.

Can someone help me and tell me if this is indeed within the tolerance or if I am being misled here? Thanks in advance.

Best regards

Photo?

There is only a 1% slope. I don't think this can be considered a defect.

And where are the pictures showing how terrible it is? As a builder, I probably wouldn’t let myself be blamed either...

Please provide the exact dimensions and a detailed description of the defect. Is the black edging also installed by the contractor? Does the covering simply have a slope, or does it go up and down?

The lengthwise side is 9m (30 feet) long. It has a wave-like shape. It starts flush on the left and right ends and then forms waves along the entire length. On the opposite side, everything is plumb and flush. The border is completely plumb, which is why the difference is noticeable.
In my opinion, a defect like this should not occur with a price over 70,000 euros.
