We will see how many euros it is about. In total, all the money is then for about 17 cm in height. However you want it, you won’t be able to manage it anymore anyway, because the so important width is no longer feasible.

I would estimate the scope of reimbursement from the GU higher. It’s about the costs that have to be incurred to bring the situation to the contractually agreed state, if necessary. That quickly adds up to 20k+.

I will seek a second legal opinion shortly and then decide when hopefully the costs are finally available this afternoon.

We will also have the KS wall in the parents' bathroom torn down and replaced with drywall. That costs about €3,000 as well, but unfortunately it doesn't fit that way because we only found out after installation that no recessed mirror cabinet can be installed there since that is only possible with drywall.

What is the problem with the width? Static?

Allegedly yes. The expert sees it the same way. We had to provide the expert with a so-called support. This is 12cm and he says, well, then nothing can be done.

This afternoon a second lawyer will visit the construction site, who I believe is even more knowledgeable in the subject and will give me a second opinion.

I think it's great if they also take a look at it on site!!

Yes, I want to be.

The question now is what you consider disproportionate. Before I hate the whole house because of it, I might put a steel support somewhere if it helps. On the other hand, many things are quickly forgotten once you actually live inside.

They didn't even calculate it for me because they say it is not economically feasible. As I said, the contact is unfortunately not very cooperative either.

And I agree with them. Period.


In some places, I get the feeling that one can also exaggerate lay naivety.

In the description of construction services, the drawings were part of the contract documents, and the lawyer’s legal opinion can only be derived from the text part. At the latest in the third instance, he will face a judge who, either personally or through experts, brings enough expertise to counter him by stating that execution plans always show rough dimensions unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Structurally, an increase is impossible either upwards or downwards, and a widening only with disproportionate effort and, in my estimate, also only by 12 cm (6 cm per side). So leave the dimension as it is.

And don’t dream of a financial “compensation” for you having to take it as ordered now. At best, this will end in a settlement—and until then, your child will have had to choose between French or Latin; it won’t be earlier.

The biggest prize I see for you is that the general contractor, in return for settling the window dispute, gives you a friendship price for the subsequent installation of the bedroom window you forgot.

This window will probably forever remain in the history books of this forum, in case someone wants a concrete example of the quality difference between an owner’s architect and a general contractor architect.
