Rescheduling costs - costs for a fall?

Hello,

Is DG actually correct here if it means a full storey above the ground floor and only a cold attic above that?

No, it is a upper storey and above that lies the attic.

We have a 24 cm aerated concrete wall (Ytong) at this point on the upper floor.

And reinforcement was inserted into this 24 cm wall or in the floor slab directly under the wall? I confess, I have no idea what exactly you mean ....

Rhenish regards

@ Bauexperte
Thank you for your detailed response

No, it is an upper floor and above that is the attic floor.

And reinforcement was integrated into this 24 cm wall or into the floor slab directly below the wall? I confess, I have no idea what exactly you mean ....

Ok, maybe I am also explaining poorly.
The reinforcement is integrated into the ceiling and into the concrete of the ground floor slab. Since the thickness of the slab at this point is not sufficient, the reinforcement protrudes upward and there it is also concreted as a kind of base for the wall.

A picture often says more than a thousand words:

Here you can see that the reinforcement in this area is higher than the later concrete slab (see pink insulation). Of course, the rest of the steel bars are still missing in the picture. Top left is just a leftover piece that was still lying there.
I hope you now understand what I mean

Hello Jochen,

Thanks for the explanation; now the fog has lifted

This is a strange way to create a "beam" or "stabilization"; if the structural engineer has approved it - ok.

I'm not sure that I, as a client, would have agreed to such an execution at all, because the electrician will have to set the boxes - which are usually installed near the foot space - higher. Not to mention that this part of the reinforcement must first be shuttered, filled with concrete, and only then can it be conventionally built up again. That will call the plasterer back into action...

Rhenish greetings

Hello Martina, yes, that's just how it is with the pictures The structural engineer has it that way in the documents. Otherwise, I would have opposed it. It will not be as high as you feared. The top edge of the concrete will still be below the screed. Therefore, there should be no problems with sockets or the plaster. And there are also no material changes in the wall above the screed that will still be visible.
