Hello everyone,
a shell construction company was commissioned to build the basement from in-situ concrete according to the existing factory plan (14.0 x 6.66 m).
In doing so, the construction company missed the measurements and built the basement about 4 cm smaller. Both external and internal dimensions.
Dimensions according to factory plan
Intended house width: 6.66 m
Intended width of basement concrete walls outside: 6.525 m
Intended width of basement concrete walls inside: 6.025 m
Actual width basement concrete walls outside: 6.48 m (-0.04 m)
Actual width basement concrete walls inside: 5.96 m (-0.06 m)
I measured myself with various tape measures and a laser meter.
What should be done here?
Price reduction due to smaller total area? How much? Are there any tables or similar for this?
It is especially unfortunate that the house was built smaller on the narrow side (max. size restricted by the development plan), where every centimeter is valuable.
This has, among other things, consequences such as the factory plan possibly needing to be adjusted (staircase and adjoining walls, support columns no longer fit).
Best regards
