We are building a KFW 55 house, and the heating system will be an air-to-water heat pump.
The underfloor heating has now been installed (according to the heat load calculation).
I am surprised that the distance to the balcony doors is almost 30 cm (12 inches), meaning no pipes were laid in these reveals. Could this cause problems? Thermal bridging? Will I have cold feet when standing there?
Until now, we have always used gas, so sorry if my questions seem basic. However, I have never lived with such a low supply temperature in a new building before.
If this is problematic, then the question is how it can be fixed, since the underfloor heating has already been installed. The question is to what extent it can still be adjusted.
We wanted to be present during the installation, but someone just came by in the evening without notifying us.

I did the calculations... our living area of 35 sqm (375 sq ft) should have 3 heating circuits and more than 300 meters (980 feet) of pipe... We only have 200 meters (655 feet).
I don’t understand this. Isn’t this basic knowledge for contractors? How can such a thing go wrong?
If this were just one trade, it would be one thing, but we discovered such errors in almost every trade. Thankfully, so far we have always been able to prevent anything major...
All the contractors are local and recommended. I can only shake my head.
