Terrace roofing profile incorrect

In general, you have the right to deliver the correct goods or make repairs. However, the costs for dismantling would then have to be borne. I cannot assess it, but there are certainly ways to fix it professionally for under 10,000. Presumably, shortening the glass is the cheapest option, but you do not have the right to choose.

but there are certainly ways to properly fix it for under 10,000.

Hello Musketier It won't go much lower. The posts, three in number, were anchored to the double-sealed concrete ceiling of the garage. The brackets and anchors were poured with a special compound. Then a sloped insulation was completely applied. Sealed twice again. First, everything would have to be removed on a large scale, posts (the posts are cut to the millimeter, so they would certainly have to be replaced) reset, sealing and insulation renewed. OK, it won't come to 10 grand. But the effort and costs would be significantly higher than shortening the panes. And I can do without 10 cm less terrace roof. Steven

It is also not the case that the repair was made more difficult by the long time until the defect was reported or that the defect became worse as a result. Therefore, it would also be incomprehensible to me why it should now make a difference whether the obligation to repair exists or not. The question is also what the new profiles practically cost the profile supplier in terms of equity? That is, material and labor as well as delivery. Does he really come out cheaper than if he simply pays the glazier costs? Maybe one can break it down for him like that and make it more appealing?

So I also think that in the end there are only two ways here:

1. He decides to deliver new profiles and takes the old ones back (or waives them) and then they have to be exchanged. Whether he can be blamed for the exchange? You could also argue that one could have measured beforehand.

2. Glass is cut to size or reordered.

A dismantling would exceed any proportionality, is also not desired I think, and hardly any costs can be passed on. The question is, of course, what new profiles of the appropriate length cost him, whether he will rather do that then.

I basically see it that way too.

But there could also be another technical solution that none of us see.

Even if the defect in the delivery is not obviously detectable, the measurements should perhaps have been checked before assembly.
But maybe there is also a verdict that the supplier can refer to.
The tiler must also check the residual moisture of the screed before laying, otherwise he assumes liability as well.

Hello Musketeer

of course I have checked the delivery for correctness according to the delivery note. The canopy was custom-made for me. I did not check the actual dimensions. However, I thought this would have been done upon delivery.
