Build a terraced end house with an additional unit (GÜ) on your own

That he just goes along with all this so relatively without complaint - hats off! Just quickly set up the crane and take it down again and pull the next machine out of the box, then I would already have the feeling that I chose the right one.

I agree. As long as quick solutions can still be found, it’s frustrating and sometimes partly incomprehensible, but work can still continue.

You can still see the light at the end of the tunnel even if something occasionally breaks down from above. So far, the general contractor has been able to clear everything again.

Unfortunately, he increasingly uses the sentence: "I haven't experienced that in 25 years either."

He is also a tree expert through and through – so he simply cannot understand such a way of working by the "desk jockeys," which partly has little to do with reality.

Especially the crane. The building authority says four meters in front of the house is fine. They measured it themselves on site. However, they forget that a scaffold still has to be placed in front and additionally a construction fence including feet. So we are well beyond the four meters. Thus, partly completely detached from reality.

If he can’t think of a saying, then this phrase always fits. I have heard this phrase so often from different trades.

As if they were all virgins

We really cannot complain about our GÜ in any way: when the foundation recommendation from the soil surveyor was rejected by the structural engineer, he went all out and looked for a way so that the current foundation solution would not be more expensive. He strictly adhered to our start date and now the matter with the crane.

Truly extremely professional. Especially since it apparently won't cost us anything extra. He will probably count that as experience as well.

When I think about the other construction companies we had to choose from back then in the situations we have already been through, it makes me a bit sick. They certainly would have tried to pass the costs on to us.

It would be nice now if the further path won't be quite so bumpy – but wait – the neighbor is still building his basement.

Especially also because this probably won't cost us anything extra. He will probably book it as experience.

This experience multiplied by the number of building plots will cost an entrepreneur his livelihood in this building area. When things are "managed" like this, there's no need to be surprised if later it's said: imagine, it's local elections, and nobody shows up.

It would be nice if the way forward wasn't so bumpy anymore - but wait - the neighbor is still building his basement.
