ᐅ Walls in the shell construction stage already affected by moss growth

Hello everyone,
We are currently, unfortunately still, in the shell construction phase and noticed during our last site visit that a wall, as shown in the pictures, is so wet because water is running down from the un-drained roof terrace that the wall on the first floor already has moss growth.
Is there a way to dry this wall quickly so that the plasterer can start soon?
Explanation:
The roof terrace on the second floor currently has no drainage apart from the outlet where water runs directly along the exterior wall; it was simply forgotten... as was the insulation of the roof terrace, which luckily we as the clients noticed in time.
The missing drainage only became apparent to us after the walls had already been built.
In the meantime, pipes have been laid in the floor for the drainage of the roof terrace, but the general contractor is ignoring the other issues.
What options do we have to dry the wall quickly, properly, and effectively?
Best regards,
M

That should be enough as a statement, especially after toxicmolotow has already said everything (?)Thanks. Phew, fortunately, I was able to interpret that. After all, my civil engineering studies were quite a while ago!

And of course, I do NOT have such a degree.

You are not bothering anyone, but you have already received the essential answer, which required no further additions. The missing drainage must be retrofitted, and all resulting damage repaired; otherwise, the foundation for all subsequent steps will be incorrect, and the damage will continue to recur indefinitely.

Yes, and exactly how do I get rid of the current damage? First, the damage needs to be documented, and an expert must determine the causes – this will decide who has to cover the costs.
Then you need a specialist, who can be found in directories under "building protection." Interpreting photos in the forum would be guesswork and too imprecise for the necessary "treatment."
