The balcony decks are thermally broken(?) from the inside deck. _Invisible connections_ is one system that has a cast in place sleeve that receives a bracket/shelf for the balcony element to rest on, with columns on the outside edge, or a tension rod going up and into the wall above. The balcony can be lifted in place after you have done the main building, so the wall sheating runs behind the concrete balcony element. We also use a lot of rebar/insulation cassetts/boxes called; isokorb, +other brands. It looks to be what's used in the video. It's basically a piece of xps insulation with stainless rebar going thru it in the top part. And a pressure block in the bottom to receive the forces. They can be off the shelf of project specific. The balcony often comes to the site precast, you put up some shoring to put it on, I prefer peri multiprop and mrk frames... Then lift it in place, its placed so it matches the inside floor height. Rebar then sits on top of the rebar you have already put in place for the main deck. Add the rebar specified around these straight rebars going into the main deck. This system has rockwool insulation inbetween the isokorb elements. Pour the main deck. And after its cured you have a 4ton+ concrete piece sticking straight out from the building 😂 Both systems are typically mounted so that the concrete on the balcony are outside of the wall sheating, so usually 10cm/4", typically a roofing material are put on in the transition between wall/balcony. A metal flashing can also be used to hide this if the furring for the siding doesn't cover it. #longanswer😅
Americans are bad with geography. If he knew how cold it gets there in winter , he would never think that the balcony doesn't have thermal brake from inside the building
Those panels should have that aluminum/metallic layer wrapped around all 4 edges (by at least a few inches) to prevent exactly the failures you’ve identified. At least then water wouldn’t influence(as much) the panel edge’s deterioration. Makes me wonder if they’ve intentionally installed it as a sacrificial panel??
Are you like our friend?- when we were spending the weekend together he’d walk into job sites and if someone confronted us, he’d say “I’m an architect…” for an excuse!
Used those adjustable feet with pavers on a project-really great to have a level surface right up at floor level and all the drainage sealed up below. You can both easily fix any drainage issue and protect your membrane-as long as you’ve provided proper drains in the first place.
Wrong title on the video
My apologies, the wrong video was uploaded, see video 7/13/24 for the "right one".....thanks
Not a pre-fab bathroom pod in sight. Ten minutes of exterior wall panel.

I don't think they do, a number of us were looking at it and it didn't appear so......
Any fire stop in the wood furring?
Are the floor tiles secured in any way? If they just sit on those height adjustment pucks is it possible the tiles can fly around in a strong wind?
Gravity
Are those the same panels that were failing on the other building? Never mind you answered my question in the vid.
I think they may be

Yeah, they could be better
