Hi!
We will soon be installing the screed and we are unsure how to proceed with the ready-for-coverage heating, especially since the general contractor will be done with the matter and the interior finishing will be carried out by individual trades.
The screed installer sent this here:

The parquet installer sent me these:

We don’t need to discuss which protocol looks more professional, but the question is what is actually correct. Everyone insists that their protocol is the right one.
The required time period also differs.
What is the best way to resolve this?
Asking the general contractor is pointless; he said it is unnecessary and if we want it, the construction time will be extended at our own responsibility, since ready-for-coverage heating is not included in the contractually guaranteed construction period of the contract for work. Ready-for-coverage heating is a habit of "old" parquet installers and is actually no longer done nowadays. On the other hand, the parquet installer says that it is precisely the "newer" parquet installers who do this, as it has only been a few years since this has been taken seriously here. And if we do not do it, a liability waiver must be signed.
I think it is clear that ready-for-coverage heating must be carried out. The question is, how do I commit to the correct protocol and then convince all parties involved to accept this protocol?
Now we have to wait and see what the tile installer demands. Hopefully, he won’t come up with a third variant.
