Hi,

Hopefully, I will have the inspection remarks on the property addressed, with a solution that requires a wall with an L-support. The corner of the property is slightly less than 90 degrees, and there the contractor has drawn in an L-support with a 90-degree angle so that a small wedge is formed between the wall and property boundary and a few degrees angle towards the remaining wall, see picture.

Is this normal practice or a cost-saving "cheapskate solution"? I am completely uninformed about L-support but assume it's far from impossible to cut/cast so that corners can be made at any angle, and that it shouldn't lead to a too large cost increase. Please correct me if I'm wrong! Are there other reasons such as strength to use prefabricated 90-degree corners instead of adapting it to the property boundary?

L-profiles are in the 90-degree module, and they are attached to each other. To achieve something in the corner, the left one is placed snug against the right one, edge to edge with the outer sides. With the existing angle, it will be tight between the elements. The fastening parts then need to be bent at the same angle to pull the elements together. With such an assembly, there will be 100% bracing in the corner, and for it to give way, essentially everything must give way.
