Laying floors in own work after the screed

2023-06-26 16:53:28

Hello, Our construction company is currently doing the interior work on our house. The screed has already been laid. From when could you start with your own work on the floor installation (tiles/click vinyl)? Of course before the kitchen arrives and before our staircase is installed. We would of course want to start as soon as possible.

Has the CM measurement already been done? Or is the contractor pushing that cost onto you now because he’s not laying floors anyway? Screed drying takes approximately 6 weeks. I would recommend doing the installation only after the contractor’s workers have left, so there won’t be any disputes in the end about scratches or someone walking over newly laid tiles too early.

Normally a GU/GÜ wants an acceptance before such large EL are done. That the interior doors are still done then does not stand so much in the way. I explicitly had a partial acceptance because I still had electrical and exterior plastering work to be done.

I would only lay the floors after painting has been done. It makes life much, much easier. The hallway and kitchen are of course an exception. But you should be very sure that you can manage this on time, otherwise you will disrupt the construction schedule and that can also cause higher costs.

From when were you able to start your own work on laying the floor (tiles/click vinyl)?

AFTER the measurement and the approval in consultation with the GU.

Has the CM measurement already been done? Or is the general contractor passing that on to you now because they aren’t installing any floors anyway? Screed drying takes roughly about 6 weeks. I would recommend doing the installation only after the general contractor’s tradespeople have left, so there are no arguments later about scratches or someone walking over freshly laid tiles too early.

The general contractor will do the CM measurement in the next few days. Thanks for the information.
