Due to recent events, I am bringing this thread back up and asking some questions to better understand the topic. Since the general contractor (GU) is not handling the exterior areas and our gardener is suitable for rough work but not for details, the issue of base sealing is left unresolved in our case. So far, the GU/plasterer/painter has done the following: 1) Applied 2-component reactive waterproofing all around the house. (Photo attached) 2) Applied adhesion bridge from reactive waterproofing to base plaster. (Photo attached) 3) Base plaster (no photo) 4) Smoothly applied sealing slurry (no photo) 5) Color (primer) coat (photo attached, current condition) The finished ground level is at the lower edge of the floor-to-ceiling windows. We will lay the terrace up to this point and also apply a splash protection around some areas of the house. My specific question is whether a 2-component reactive waterproofing (sealing slurry) needs to be applied again directly onto the finished base up to the level where the splash protection will later be installed? Unfortunately, I am not getting any clearer from countless posts online and various statements from building material advisors. I am aware that a backfill protection (dimple membrane) will be installed, but it is unclear to me whether sealing slurry must be applied again in addition.
