Downpipe Fauxpas

Ahem... I know quite a few stories regarding fall protection. You might want to not overestimate yourself so much. Where people work, mistakes happen; to claim that a specific trade sector does not make any mistakes strikes me as quite naive.

I’m talking about mechanical engineering, not the metal corner of the construction corner. We cannot treat our customers the way construction companies treat their clients.
We built for a very expensive company (price range above Viebrockhaus) and got a good house overall. I also wrote that it would be graded as a B (2) in school grades. But it’s always the last few percent that make the difference. And THOSE almost always somehow fall by the wayside in construction. Instead of admitting the mistake, the standard excuse No. 1 is "that's how it’s supposed to be."
As an engineer with four semesters of structural analysis, I had to listen to the claim that cantilevered beams without support were structurally fine, even when they’re supposed to hold 20 sqm of roof area. I told them it is floating in the air structurally and would collapse under the first snow. The site manager and foreman (both with over 20 years of professional experience each) said, “You have to trust us that we know what we’re doing.” I even calculated for them that it was nonsense, yet I couldn’t dissuade them from the idea that the beam floats in the air.

It’s about the spot with the 7.5 m. It doesn’t rest anywhere there but is held by two screws in the end grain.
The beam below it also floats in the air and is held only by a few screws. That is structural garbage. I then threatened with "please provide structural proof for that," and they got blind to reason and extended the lower beam to the ground, so the whole story now fits. But why do you have to argue for 20 minutes when it’s absolutely clear that they botched it?
As I said, a renovated large company with knowledgeable, long-established master carpenters onsite.

And this repeated from problem to problem. Every time the same nonsense. First do something wrong, then claim nothing is wrong, then try to talk their way out, and then somehow patch it up.

We don’t do that in mechanical engineering...

And that is then for you the proof that everyone works like that? As so often in your statements: you ignore counterarguments, do not respond, do not take a position...

We are also building with a very high-priced provider - so far no defects at three expert appointments. Is this now the proof that there is no botch, or that the expert is botching?

Hi,

We are also building with a very high-priced provider - so far no defects at three expert appointments. Is this now the proof that there is no botch work at all, or that the expert is botching?

If he really finds absolutely nothing at three appointments, that would actually make me concerned....

Best regards,

My wife was just at the house.

Together with a man from the sewage association.

Our pumping station requires 400V. It is connected with 230V.

We have no water/toilet flush.

We were also offered a portable toilet for rent..........

I will put all the money I have into a lawsuit against this company!

This "electrician" is a bungler!

The man also does not come to us to fix his botched work. He denies everything and blames others.

I don't know what to do anymore!

our craftsmen also think that we don’t think along. that’s just how it is. in the end, everyone makes mistakes, only some (e.g. the metal industry) do everything to satisfy the customer, while in construction there are constantly stupid excuses made and/or the customer is lied to. and why? because you don’t become a customer again and customer satisfaction is disregarded. but they still want full payment...

tiled shower floors are already somewhat critical in terms of watertightness. it’s no coincidence that they are the most common reason for flooding in relatively new buildings.

These and other statements of yours show that you actually have no idea what goes on in construction.
Reading between the lines, a craftsman must have been too dumb at school, otherwise he would have learned something sensible.
