Adjacent floors can't have different constructions

I try to model a building in which 2 rooms have different floors, due to some servers that are installed there in these rooms. Basically these two rooms have a floor that consists of three layers (thin metal layer, marmoleum and floor tiles), while the other rooms only consists of a concrete layer. The following error occurred in OpenStudio:

* Severe * GetSurfaceData: Construction INTERIOR FLOOR INSTALLATION of interzone surface SURFACE 89 does not have the same materials in the reverse order as the construction INTERIOR FLOOR CONCRETE of adjacent surface SURFACE 116

The surfaces are seperated by a wall (the floors are in different rooms). Could someone help me with this?
