Advertisement by construction company on the property fence

Regarding the passage about the house rules: I also believe that this is standard. In addition, the home construction company explicitly allows us (but at our own risk) to enter the property and the construction site. So that is not a problem.

Regarding the advertising signs: the actual problem lies in the fact that the external heating company and the home construction company (= planner) did not communicate with each other during the planning phase, even though I insisted on it very intensively at the time. In the end, they said they would exchange information and for me the matter was settled. However, it now turns out that they did not talk to each other after all and as a result, for example, the floor structure on the upper floor is not high enough to accommodate the ventilation system there (I cannot oversee such details as a construction layman during the planning phase, that is what the planner is for). Simply making the floor structure higher is not that easy because the door lintels are already in place. Of course, a solution will be found, but the construction companies are now passing the additional costs on to us, which I, understandably, do not consider to be entirely fair. I have already negotiated with both construction companies about similar problems and had to realize that they are tough and do not grant even the tiniest discount and also do not admit the mistake themselves but always blame the other construction company. That is just how it is when you unfortunately have two construction companies.

Hello,

… the actual problem lies in … as a construction layman I can’t oversee such details during the planning phase, that’s what the planner is for)… I have already negotiated with both construction companies about similar problems and had to find out that they are just tough and don’t grant even the slightest discount and never admit the mistake themselves but always blame the other construction company. That’s just how it is if you unfortunately have two construction companies.

I don’t believe that "it just has to be that way"; it will be the result of various factors. If you don’t succeed in negotiating a compromise – in mutual interest – you should get professional support. The local Chamber of Architects can be a first point of contact; also a sworn and publicly appointed expert by the responsible Chamber of Crafts. Both will cost you money (the amount is based on the calculated construction costs, sometimes also on the effort involved, sometimes it is negotiable). Since you anyway face the alternative "swallow, pay, and then move forward," it should be worth the effort; even if it means that not all of your fears come true.

Good luck

Hello,

...You should stop disqualifying construction contractors across the board as "malicious rip-off artists" and instead take a look at your own contract design.

I really wouldn’t know where I have done that in this form.

...If you are of a different opinion due to lack of experience with human extremes, spend a morning as a visitor at the AG or LG.

I really do not lack that experience, as I have had ample opportunity to attend construction law disputes.

That would be the end of the topic "house rights" for me.

Best regards.

If, as a builder, you commission two different companies, you must also ensure that communication between those involved in the construction is guaranteed both during planning and execution. This also includes supervision! Very little or nothing happens on its own unless a company has been commissioned for this!

Hello,

If the client commissions two different companies, they must also ensure that communication between those involved in the construction is guaranteed both during planning and execution. This also includes supervision! Little or nothing happens on its own, unless a company has been assigned this task!

Best regards.

Yeah yeah, I know that now too. Hindsight is always 20/20.
