The base plate was cast too large - it has now been shortened - is that okay?

The structural engineer is not responsible for the correct creation of the reinforcement. He just said: it's fine now. Cut off. Completely crazy.

Not operational on site. However, the reinforcement plans do come from the structural engineer, so he is the right authority to approve changes to them.

Protruding foundations are a problem, e.g. because of stagnant water. Later, water stands on/against the structure. Cutting off is, in my opinion, the usual procedure. Of course, with sealing so that nothing rusts. Here apparently done in three layers, what else can be done beyond that?

Or one could have also built the 16cm larger at the expense (or 50:50) of the [GU]. Besides, the issue is already settled anyway.

I don’t know if there is a problem again now. I just measured the grounding rod again. The shortest distance to the outer edge is 29.5 cm. But the wall thickness of the house is 33.5 cm.

Since I’m not familiar with this... what happens to these grounding rods? What are they connected to? Or does it not matter if the outer wall later "stands" on them?

Or does it not matter if the outer wall later "stands" on it?

Hello Sporttasche

it does not matter. the stone will be slightly chipped at the bottom and the grounding conductor pulled through it.

Thank you for the reassurance... How will such a node be connected later?

Hello sports bag

above the grounding rod a rail will be attached to the wall. the grounding rod will be connected to it. the same applies to all green-yellows from the house.
Have a look at "Potentialausgleich" on Google.
