Large impact joints in the shell construction still within acceptance or defect?

Here it also comes into play that the shell construction should have a height of 2.55m. However, the shell builder has now laid 10 courses with 25 cm bricks and says he will just set the ceiling a bit higher (I am not convinced that this will work either).

I don't understand. Of course, he can continue with cut stones, but who plans a shell height of 255? - according to today's standards, that will probably result in about 234 to 238 of clear finished height.

In this case, a room height < 240 cm would be out of the question for me. Especially with solid construction, you have the advantage of "any freedom." Why not plan for another row of stones? :(

That's the problem, as I understood him, he does not want to continue with sawn stones, but simply wants to install the ceiling elements 5 cm higher .....

A floor structure of 15 cm is planned. That would give us a ceiling height of 2.40 m. Unfortunately, more was not possible due to the development plan, or we would have significantly lower ceilings on the upper floor. This way, the ceilings on both full floors are about the same height (2.40 and 2.41).

He wants to leave the pit props under the ceiling formwork forever so that the walls can end 5 cm below the ceiling??? - does the man have training as a laughing stock?

Yes, he just told me not to worry, he'll simply set the ceiling 5 cm higher. I couldn't find any way to do it properly even with a lot of googling. I've now written to the main contractor and if it's a botch afterwards, he'll just have to take it down again....

Siemens air hooks. Finally a useful purpose for them. I think I still have a few in stock ... :cool:
