dear construction expert, please exercise a bit more restraint with very personal assessments. after all, I have been working faultlessly as an architect for over 30 years and am a professor of construction process management. furthermore, I am an expert and have assessed such cases numerous times. therefore, and because I am familiar with these types of defects, I can act very consciously. perhaps you should somewhat moderate your opinion of me. regards h.h.

hm, assuming the client signed the building application exactly as it was built now, how far would you then backtrack regarding your recommendation to cover the costs? The fact is, there is an expert on site, only they can assess the situation. If it comes down to a total loss, then it is up to the company whether they invest x0,000 € or more or rather step back. The issue with the reminders already casts a particular light on the matter.

Hello Professor,


I have held back and do not see an assessment anywhere; if even the simple question about the qualification counts as a personal assessment, then tough times lie ahead for me :confused:


I had already suspected something in a comparable direction, your nickname reminded me of a conversation among colleagues.

It is nevertheless one thing, presumably to see defects in front of you, and quite another to respond in a forum like this. My years of work in this job have taught me that hardly anything is as it first appears. And from a user who responds here and – rarely enough – also has the necessary experience, I may expect a bit more than the advice for immediate dismantling of wet components, _without_ pointing to the possible consequences regarding contractual conditions, nor to the necessity of external, profound assistance.


Sender => receiver


Well, titles are a fine thing, and especially a professorship costs quite a lot of money over time, as my son has taught me. I deal daily with different people. One is a worker, the next self-employed, and yet others are respected doctors – fortunately, the spectrum is always a nice mix. One thing they and I have in common, however – at a certain little place we all look the same, and this knowledge reduces us to a healthy level :D

Kind regards

Sure, basically new construction - but this can certainly only be enforced through the courts over years... (in Germany) We have now agreed that the roof will bend from 45 degrees to 18 degrees. However, the roof tiles do not agree with this; Rubin 11 V are only approved up to 22 degrees. The standard roof pitch is therefore not adhered to. Special sealing?

Hello,


Unfortunately, that is really a problem - if it can reassure you, not only in Germany.


No, I would not consider that. Rather another supplier, e.g. Braas. Their clay roof tiles can be installed without problems from 12-22°.

Kind regards

"No, I would not consider that. Rather another provider, e.g. Braas. Their clay roof tiles can be installed easily from 12-22°."
Standard roof pitch Braas Rubin 11 to 22 degrees
Just spoke with Braas, under 22 degrees (18 degrees) the roof must be specially sealed. There are apparently specific DIN regulations for that...
