I hadn’t had the cross-section so far, as it is usually done through the stairwell. But I asked about it. Thanks for the tip.
The suggestion didn’t just come from the site manager out of nowhere. We find the children's rooms sufficient, but a few more centimeters would be nice. So we had thought about enlarging the house per se. The site manager said it wouldn’t be a problem, but... additional costs just for the shell construction and we would have to redo the building permit. Ours hasn’t been approved yet, but it would cause delays. Then we considered it and he suggested that we could just set back the upper floor by 10cm. The adjustment would be in line with the current building permit plans and the additional costs would be low. An employee said that it could even be 24cm, because the projection is 24cm. The site manager (structural engineer) replied that he meant 10cm. The reason was that the KS block is 24cm. Statistically, he can easily move it 10cm. If he takes the full 24cm, the blocks would no longer be stacked on top of each other and then it would become more expensive. Also, the projection would disappear then.
The site manager says you wouldn’t notice 10cm anyway, but if it’s important to us, that would be the best option. It’s really not that he wants to force it on us. We are now waiting for the other cross-section, but if I understand correctly, the setback will only be 14cm instead of 24cm. So the same problem with sealing and other problematic areas remains.
