What if the wall openings for interior doors are too large?

I have now measured the wall openings for the interior doors - they should be standard sizes - and given these to the door supplier. Apparently, the wall openings are too large.

High doors are planned for the basement. The openings are 2.17 m between finished floor and lintel. However, the measurement may only be a maximum of 2.135 m! Normal doors are planned for the upper floor. The openings are 2.05 m between screed (vinyl is planned here) and lintel. There may only be a maximum of 2.01 m between finished floor and lintel.

For two narrow WC doors, the opening is 0.78 m wide. According to the door supplier, it may only be a maximum of 0.76 m.

The construction contractor responsible for the masonry insists that the 2.17 m are standard dimensions. I should ask the architect; he would have specified it that way.

Could something be glued or plastered on above and on the sides? Is that durable? The only problem is that the kitchen has already been wallpapered and painted; something would then be missing there.

What do you think about that?

Where is the problem? In terms of width, the wall openings are built somewhat wider anyway than according to [DIN] (then the fittings fit better, before you have to do chiseling work later). The height should actually also fit if the frame has the corresponding cladding width.

Have the doors made to measure, it doesn't cost much more

I think the same as the builder: Have your uncertainty taken away by the architect. Either there is a good reason for it, or action must be taken. Until then, stay relaxed. It is still unclear whether there is even a problem. In such situations, take the phone in hand on the construction site and clarify the questions immediately.

I would also say that this will be compensated with the frame. Although it is true that 213.5 is the opening for 211 doors. But 6 cm can definitely be compensated somehow.

Everything is arranged. I have ordered the door measurer and the mason at the same time. In some openings, the mason also put Heraklith underneath.
