Wood must not be in contact with concrete, otherwise it will rot, so they either need to cut up the panel or tear it down.
Is that so?

Yes.

Well then it's okay anyhow, I'm not that knowledgeable. Just thought it seemed a bit fishy.
But I think they should remove the knutbrädor? Otherwise, they will basically never be replaceable.
No, it's not okay.

The panels must be removed and then something needs to be put in place to form a mold, then the concrete can be poured.

After the panel has been removed, they need to replace the cut-out L-element seen in the picture.
 
The casting was postponed and now the panel has been sawn off, but it still needs to be covered with something else as I understand it, so that it is not cast directly against the sill?
Then there's that corner board, but I guess they can remove it after casting.
 
  • Concrete floor with steel mesh near blue wooden wall, awaiting further coverage before casting. A coiled hose is mounted on the wall.
  • Corner of a blue wooden building with sawed panel, exposed reinforcement bars, and a white foundation ready for concrete pouring.
No wood should be in contact with the concrete. How to manage between the building parts should of course be considered. I would probably place a thin Styrofoam between the existing house and the casting, and when it is complete, you can apply a flexible seal here.

The blue panel should reasonably be removed before continuing to build.

Look at that…
Yes, the sill needs something between it and the concrete, e.g. Syllpapp.
The reinforcement must not have contact with the foam plastic; the minimum covering layer around the reinforcement is usually 30mm. This is very important so that the reinforcement does not rust during the calculated lifespan!

The reinforcement must not contact the cellular plastic; the minimum cover around the reinforcement is usually 30mm, which is very important to prevent the reinforcement from rusting during the expected lifespan!
So it can't/mustn't look like this?

Absolutely not minimum 30mm should have 50mm to have margin.
 
That is, as so many have already stated, unfortunately just a matter of removing and starting over from scratch. With so many errors and shortcomings, I, for one, would not dare to let the person who did it continue with the construction...

Can't see any B-rebar in the beam reinforcement.

Is this the first time the company is doing a casting job?

Looks like there are significant gaps between the edge elements.

I hope not, I've hired a service and one would hope they know their stuff. Not going to write here which company, but they had good reviews.
 
Should the company only do the casting or should they also build the rest?
