Hello everyone,
we are now about to install the windows… As far as I know, the window reveal must always be filled before installation. This has been done everywhere, but as a layperson, I’m not sure if this is correct..? My site manager tends to agree with everything and so does not have much expertise (a request for a replacement has been made).
From the picture, it can be seen that this was done only with cement mortar.
The exterior wall structure is: 1cm (0.4 inches) plaster (interior), 17.5cm (7 inches) Poroton brick, 16.0cm (6.3 inches) insulation, 1.5cm (0.6 inches) plaster (exterior).
Friends who have recently built their homes say that a smoothing coat must still be applied. Is that true, or would this work as it is (see picture) to ensure airtightness?

I would never pay that in a million years.Alternative?
a) do it yourself and break the warranty
b) construction stop, expert assessment, ...
There is actually a smooth layer, even if it looks untidy.
In my opinion, it should be continued on the outside as well, so the exterior membrane can be fully adhered.
Let's add this immediately to the "anti Poroton" list.
The warranty for the entire shell construction?
I was planning to go to the hardware store right away and buy ready-made flexible sealant.
Because I haven’t been sleeping well because of this ☝️.
I just spoke with the site manager again by phone, and he thinks it’s okay, saying it’s a smooth finish, but with the exception that it could be a bit cleaner.
I then said that it should be improved.
The shell construction inspection is scheduled for tomorrow, and this will be brought up again.
