I see it differently, because although the regulations support a rejecting attitude of the general contractor, they do not fix it. My experience with people in general and my children in particular is that knowledge of rules and dangers is sometimes abstracted from the action. Correct. I now see five objectives: The situation should be executed properly A hazardous situation and a possibly related liability should be avoided The solution should function without special attention, such as a locking process to be controlled The solution must not prevent the ventilation possibility of the room The costs for the proper execution should be borne by the general contractor Then it is simple: determine what is proper, or have it determined. Pay the difference between the general contractor's proposed proper solution and the desired solution.

5x yes. Very good summary and probably also a foreshadowing of the result...

You can write sometime about how it turned out. Or rather, who has to pay for the barrier now.

Not entirely off topic: did you know that it is "not uncommon" for children to drown in the bathtub?
I have no comparison to falls from windows, but as far as I have read, it is still the most common cause of death for children up to 6 years old. However, this does not only apply to bathtubs.

But not only in the bathtub, also in swimming pools, lakes, rivers.

I'm curious to see what will be carried out

Tonight I will probably dream of forest lakes with locked window handles ...

So, first update:

Statement from the expert of the general contractor: "Surely Mr. XXX planned that, right? That’s not acceptable!"

At least that saved me a trip to the building authority, since the general contractor now wants to look for a solution that makes sense for everyone. The GU expert also demanded that the (normal) pane be replaced with a laminated safety glass pane.

Let’s see what the general contractor proposes; I fear it will end up being the tilt-only option. What gives me hope is the laminated safety glass pane. That will certainly cost some extra euros to replace. Of course, he could save that if he installs the glass railing on the outside (of course laminated safety glass), I suspect the latter might even be cheaper...
