Execution plans changed without consultation!!

Haven't received any feedback today, will ask tomorrow and write it here!!

I got an expert because some things seemed strange to me and received an 18-page protocol with construction defects yesterday! Letters to the companies have been sent out and now it's getting exciting!!

Could you give us some keywords about what defects these are?

These are just two examples…. But I do find it concerning if a site manager doesn't notice something like this!!

As I already explained in "Von Bauleitern und ... Bauleitern," the two types of construction managers have very different tunes to sing when it comes to problem cases: while the architect construction manager tries to avoid the defect in itself from the owner's point of view, the general contractor construction manager is more likely to ensure that the discovery of the defect is delayed beyond the warranty period (so he rather urgently calls a plasterer where a dismantling would be appropriate, but this would jeopardize the deadline goal and his boss’s margin).

Although it leads somewhat away from the topic, this is a great article on your website! The others about the service phases of the HOAI as well, very helpful! //end of off-topic

In another defect, it was stated that a steel angle was placed on the south side (valley side) on which the timber frame construction rests by 50%! (see picture) At that time, I measured the base slab! Pictures are attached! The dimensions of the cast base slab are 11.68 x 9.75 m! In the further attached picture, it can also be seen that the northern cellar wall is recessed on the base slab by several centimeters! So could it be that the base slab was simply cast too small and that is why this strange steel angle was placed? (There is currently no static verification for this either) The dimensions of the base slab according to the execution plan are 11.55 x 9.82 m!
