An expert I commissioned has determined and documented the insufficient concrete cover. Now the construction company should carry out remedial work.
In my opinion, the incorrect measurements for a length of up to 6.66 m can also be determined without an expert.
I have complained about the incorrect measurements to the construction company.
As far as I know, the burden of proof for correct execution lies with the construction company. The construction company should commission an expert and prove the correct measurements. Or am I mistaken?
Finally, some answers to questions that were raised in your other thread. And this "expert" you commissioned was also the one who confirmed to you in writing that a black tank is equivalent to a white tank with a bit of remedial work? What does this "expert" say about the durability of his proposed repairs compared to the white tank owed under the contract? - if it is actually agreed in your contract.
My expert has made comprehensive statements about the previous execution, quality in the current state, remedial measures, and expected quality. Based on this, a risk of damage occurrence, the expected extent of damage, loss of value, etc. A real expert, in short.
Let’s assume you are holding the tape measure correctly. I cannot imagine that the construction company will commission an expert because of the dimensional deviation. Okay, you have, let’s say, complained about the deviations by email, demanded rectification of defects, and are now waiting for feedback from the shell construction company. What do you think will happen next? Either you will get an explanation of why, how, technical excuses, etc., or a "sorry" — after all, it’s a shell construction. What is your goal? What do you expect as a result of the defects you (have) identified? Are they so serious that demolition (for you) is an option, or is there a chance to get everything squared away according to the ARdT? Have you verbally addressed the contractor about the insufficient concrete cover and the dimensional deviation and how did he respond?
