As laypersons, we had no idea that a device was needed for the fastening and were not informed about this either. Accordingly, no device was installed, and now no one wants to take responsibility for the warranty if the insulation has to be damaged to reach the wooden beam. With a device, the facade and insulation would not have had to be opened. Furthermore, the installation partner would not take on the "closing up." Fastening is therefore only possible with considerable additional effort.

The person who tampers with the insulation must assume liability for it; the house construction company can refuse responsibility. Above all, no one knows how they are supposed to be fastened.

Why don't you simply attach the railing to the balcony instead of the facade?

Honestly: You tell the construction company "Please let us do the railing ourselves." What do you expect as an answer? That the contractor will take over the planning of your railing? How should he know what you want to build? Glass railing? Stainless steel on the balcony? Wood? Fastening to the facade? Fastening on the balcony? Fastening in front of the balcony? There are dozens of possibilities.
If you are already laymen, then at least ask beforehand and not only at the end. Involve the house builder or the railing builder beforehand.
Aside from that, I really don’t understand the problem. Pictures and/or drawings help for understanding. If it is so difficult to get a railing onto a balcony, there must be a bigger problem or a special request behind it.

If you don't have a [Bauleiter(in)], then you are that person and therefore responsible yourself. You are adults, so the [GU / BU] doesn't have to point anything out to you. But they will have their own thoughts about it :rolleyes:....

For further useful suggestions, pictures, drawings, or at least sketches are very very helpful. Otherwise, it's just guesswork, which I consider a waste of time. So: please provide comprehensive information, then you will receive (more or less good) advice.

Well, as a layperson, I simply cannot know all the requirements for how and where things must be constructed so that everything works afterwards. When I buy a balcony, I assume that a railing can be installed. Apparently, however, the wooden beam is also too thin. It is also understandable that other companies here do not want to provide a warranty for the insulation. My question was aimed at advice on how to deal with this issue in order to find the best solution afterwards. The railing cannot be attached on the balcony either, because there is insulation here as well as a zinc parapet. The issue seems to be difficult. Apparently, a major dismantling is necessary. But why build the balcony and then not give any indication that installation is impossible in this design?
