Any chance that you could attach a sketch to clarify your question. I find it hard to relate the -700 mm elevation to a rail at 10.78.

Let me assume

You have grouted/ welded the beam (11.48m long) at -0.7 level

Now the top edge is not at 10.48 level

The error in the verticality is a pure geometry. Assuming your column is straight.

Whether it is acceptable or not is your design.

Correction of the problem is even simpler - but would have been done before the welding/ grouting. But it all depends on the material of column (hopefully not concrete) and the joint at the foundation.

Else like pisa you have to leave it (and pray nobody knows)
