Crooked walls - discount?

: At the window/exterior wall or also where the landing will be, it is as planned 2.20m. At the stair entrance, however, it is only 2.16m. So actually exactly between the two walls. In the middle is the railing and you will see that at the top there is a 16cm gap and at the landing 20cm. The stair builder says that compensating a little is possible, but a full 4cm is hardly feasible. Of course, he also protected himself in case we might be dissatisfied later.

Hello, then I understood/figured that out correctly! My idea/approach would be: keep the railing in the middle parallel and compensate on the outer side/wall side respectively. Then only a few millimeters per step need to be compensated. That should be less noticeable than if the middle railings converge.

But as the building expert has already said: a creative idea from the site manager and stair builder is required there!

Best regards

: Believe me, we measured everything and it mostly fit. But we only measured wall lengths and that fits at the window with 2.2m. The angles should have been measured here. We didn't do that, that's true. But they were so fast... You couldn't keep up with measuring, not sure if it would have changed anything.

: We are the site managers ourselves and are in talks with the stair builder. He was also quite confident. Thanks for the tip though. I will tell him, let's see what he thinks about it. He will probably have to remeasure after the plaster anyway, because quite a bit still needs to be balanced between the floors.

Um, if it hasn’t been cleaned yet: why don’t you level it out before cleaning? then the staircase is overall 4 cm narrower but can be straight?

Are you managing the construction yourself? Who accepts the individual trades and inspects the work? Then it would have been your responsibility to check the shell construction thoroughly and it can’t only be noticed now through the survey by the staircase builder?

Yes, we have also thought about compensations. We might try to push that onto the structural builder, but he won't be back for another three weeks. Yes, we are doing the site management ourselves. The architect is also commissioned for that, but I'm not sure what we paid him the money for.. Well, whatever... That's another story. Thanks anyway for the hints.
