Spacer window and doors, small or nonexistent

[Nils82]

It should be simple to determine whose fault it is.

Cut-outs in the facade for windows and doors usually follow module dimensions, for example, 14x13.
The window is then 15-20mm smaller on all sides, meaning approximately 1360x1260mm.

If now the space between the window and the frame is non-existent, it should be easy to determine what's wrong.

He he....yes, if the window dimensions are standard, it's "case closed". If they are custom-sized, one can examine the misunderstanding more closely, so to speak.

In my world, it's also easy to determine. So I don't understand why a supplier would claim otherwise.
As sblixten said, they would have started with a blank sheet... What then is a new build if not a blank sheet?

Thank you all for taking the time to contribute with posts.

All windows are custom-made. However, the same construction drawings with exact measurements have been available to all parties all along. What is the difference?

Well, if a wall opening specifies, for example, 13x10, then a 13x10 window is ordered, meaning clearance for insulation is considered. A standard window, simply put. But if an opening specifies a measurement like 1370x1080, then you have to custom order the window and calculate the insulation clearance yourself according to your own preference. There is simply a greater chance for mistakes in such a situation.
You've experienced that several times on construction sites.
But you're building new, right? Then you're using standard measurements for windows and doors?

But if they are custom-made and do not have standard measurements, the question is whether the order missed including allowance for mounting foam? For a custom-made window, say 1250mm, the frame's actual measurements are in fact.

 

[Wikingen]

All windows and doors are custom-made. The measurements are of course specified on the drawing in mm. Opening dimensions on the facade drawing are specified with an extra 15 mm all around if I remember correctly (I'm at work now). The construction is also similar to a timber frame, so cutting into it and opening up does not have any consequences except for time, of course.

Yes, then it's just a matter of fixing it. If the window manufacturer specifies that there should be a drevmån, then there should be one. Period.

If you also have a turnkey contract, it is formally even easier for you.

Yes, custom-made windows can be an ulcer-inducing experience. We had large custom-made triangular gable windows, and I think I double-checked and recalculated at least five times before giving the measurements to the builder, and then insisted on reviewing his order to the window supplier.

 

[mexitegel]

...but it went wrong anyway, right?

 

[f91jsw]

It turned out right! However, I might have been a bit too cautious, the windows could have been 3 cm larger. But it doesn't matter now, I'm the only one who notices.
