Hello everyone,

our house is currently in the shell construction phase. The windows are installed, and the electrician has finished chasing and drilling the walls and is currently attaching the flush-mounted boxes.

I noticed that the connection cable of the roller shutter at one window seems to be torn.
It is much shorter than the others, and near the top, just below the ceiling next to the roller shutter, a box was drilled. (This is not the case with the other windows.)
It is probably meant to become a flush-mounted box where the cable will be extended.

Now, my question:
Do I have a chance to enforce this as a defect with the builder?
I do not want a box next to the window (curtain rod), and also, an additional connection point is always another potential source of error.
After all, I am paying for an intact motor with a complete cable.
Ideally, I would prefer a replacement of the motor and thus a new connection cable that can then be routed directly to the switch next to the window.

What do you think?

Would I personally care? Not at all. Defect? You ordered a working roller shutter motor and you’re getting it (layman’s opinion).

No defects present. A connection via flush-mounted boxes on the cabinet is even more advantageous.

For example, this way the defective motor can be replaced much faster...

I would even demand the opposite (and it was done that way for me as well), meaning a flush-mounted box on each motor and sometimes even one on the left/right. Afterwards, this makes many things easier.

One more point: You can't drill there without a [Dose] either. And in my experience, the variant with an [UP-Dose] is rather the usual procedure than the exception.

Why am I not allowed to drill there? I would keep enough distance from the cables.

Then keep enough distance from the can, remember the position well.
