ᐅ Window Installation in External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS) – When Can the Window Installer Take Measurements?

Hello forum,

We are currently in the process of having a house built.

The shell is up, and the brick cladding is almost finished.

The house is built with sand-lime bricks, and in the upper third an external thermal insulation composite system (ETICS) with plaster will be applied, while the lower two-thirds are brick-clad.

I was told that the window installer can only take measurements once the brick cladding is completely finished.

Does the insulation and plaster on the upper section also need to be completed first, or can the windows be measured and installed beforehand?

Cool answer. Why didn’t you just ask your acquaintance right away? That way, you wouldn’t have wasted time for yourself and others here trying to figure it out.

Because the company had also closed.

But that’s a cool response from you—just because someone is a painter doesn’t mean they are automatically my site manager.

The average builder will probably spend around 20,000-25,000 euros on windows, and you want to discuss a delivery fee?

Of course, you can categorize that as unforeseen expenses. But if it happens repeatedly until the construction site is finished, it will add up to a considerable amount that the original poster would probably be better off investing elsewhere.

I don’t handle the booking; that is the responsibility of the service provider. Given the volume, they should feel confident enough to charge for an apparently extra trip. If the work environment is clear, then they must arrange everything at their own expense.

With that volume, he should dare to charge for an additional trip that is supposedly extra.

Whether you schedule two consecutive days or two non-consecutive days, the travel costs don’t change. Just saying, as a former window manufacturer.

The window installer will come tomorrow to take measurements.
