New window lintels on the ground floor are too low.

What Koempy means is that you normally have one fall measurement per floor. Were there interim inspections?

I have already understood that. However, I know several houses where the lintel measurements between window and door per section on the ground floor are different. Therefore, it was initially not further noteworthy. There was no classic interim inspection in the sense of "with signature."

Hi,

Since demolition and structural changes (removing windows, raising lintel, new exterior facade, new interior plaster, etc.) are certainly out of the question,

why should that be out of the question? If the windows were correctly shown in the construction plans, they will first deliver exactly that. Done.
If the site manager notices this too late, the additional costs are their problem, not yours.
The timeline will become problematic, this is a bigger operation that will certainly delay the move-in by several weeks.
If you are under time pressure and the construction company knows that, they will try to play for time.
If you want to agree on financial compensation: consider how high the reimbursement would have to be for you to be happy with it for the next 40 years.
€500 compensation is quickly forgotten; you will be looking at the windows that are too low for the rest of your life.

Best regards,

Hi again,

It’s about 4 elements / "normal" windows. Right, the floor-to-ceiling ones are correctly measured.

What do you mean by "the floor-to-ceiling ones are correctly measured"? Don’t the windows have dimensions in the workshop plan? Before you go all out, first check the plans. If it’s already wrong there: then you have a problem, because you certainly must have approved the plans.
If it’s correct in the workshop plan: the general contractor just has to change it, done!

Best regards,

Andreas

In which rooms are the windows? Are there rooms that have both - floor-to-ceiling elements and normal windows? Proportionality aside - I'm somewhat with andi... it would really bother me; if it's in the guest WC and utility room maybe not quite as much.

Hello again,
What do you mean by "the floor-to-ceiling ones are correctly measured"? Don’t the windows have measurements in the factory plan? Before you go swinging the big hammer, first check the plans. If it’s already wrong in there: then you have a problem, because you surely had to approve the plans.
If it is correct in the factory plan: then the general contractor just has to make changes, end of story!

Best regards,

Andreas

We are not swinging any hammer. The plans have already been checked and are correct. The shell builder messed up and the construction manager apparently didn’t notice it or didn’t take our concerns seriously.
