Hello everyone,

My husband and I are currently building a prefabricated house and have now reached the stage where the tiler is on site and the sanitary fixtures are connected.

Of course, the entire electrical system has already been installed as well.

Now the following problem: during our shell inspection with the site manager and an expert we hired, it was noted, among other things, that we paid for 8 satellite cables but only 7 were installed. At the inspection, the site manager assured us that the missing one would still be installed.

Today my husband noticed that the 8th cable has indeed been laid, but it goes through the exterior wall into the living room.

Since the expert already repeatedly advised us during the shell inspection not to attach cabinets or similar to the walls in the house if possible, as we might otherwise damage the protective film inside the wall, the electrician’s action is making me a bit angry right now.

If we had known that it would be installed like THIS afterward, we would gladly have dispensed with it.

Can someone possibly give us advice on how to proceed here? Tomorrow we will meet with our - highly "competent" - site manager and my feeling tells me that this installation technique is not right for a prefabricated house.

Many thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Chris

The technique is called Fuschen

well then you know what you have to do. Tell your site manager that you do not accept it this way. Then have the defect fixed. If there is no other option, have the connection credited. You don't really need 8 Sat connections if you don't have a family of 6.

There are empty conduits or the installation level for that...

Ask the site manager how he managed the sealing of the breakthrough on the inside through the vapor barrier...

It is less problematic if he hit a wooden stud/wooden beam; here you can subsequently seal the breakthrough from the inside by exposing the breakthrough area a bit from the inside and adhering or sealing the PE foil with vapor barrier PE adhesive (for wall connections) flatly onto the wooden stud at the breakthrough point.

Otherwise, there is a risk that moisture can get into the insulation wool at the breakthrough point and that must be avoided.

Not every prefabricated house has an installation level, and empty conduits should not be installed in the exterior wall. My provider now refuses to carry out these works.
