The installation of edge strips clearly falls under the trade "screed work" and is mentioned in the various screed standards, which I prefer not to list. Furthermore, in my entire professional practice, I have never seen a tender where the placing of the screed with edge strips is left to another trade. No, the assumption is not correct!
I only know it this way: the heating engineer installs the edge strips. In the tack system, the edge strips are installed first – and in practice, that is always done by the heating engineer. Tender or not. Theory or not.
And it was the same here. Bet?
I see it differently as well. From the construction process perspective, the heating engineer comes first, does insulation, edge strips, Rolljet, underfloor heating.
The expansion joints, yes, those are done by the screed crew, but insulation strips on the wall – I have never seen that. From a process standpoint and impractical, as it is not sequential. Especially since insulation strips on the wall are a piece of cake in terms of effort, so it’s not even worth the trip to send someone else for that separately.
