Change of developer after construction has started?

Ok, then no BT

Regards, Yvonne

Employed by the company is an architect who created/commissioned the house plans and also the structural engineering. We have already paid these with a discount of 2.38% on the total amount and have also received them.

This is not equivalent to having acquired the right to continue building with another party.

As already written at the beginning: We have not made the decision to change the developer, but we have the thought in mind and appreciate input from those who may have already been through this and/or can give us tips. Should we really take this step, a lawyer will of course be our only alternative,

Lawyers can also act as mediators; contentious proceedings can take longer than construction delays.

That is not equivalent to having acquired the right to continue building with another.

More precisely: It is his property; he only needs permission from the authorities, i.e., a building permit, to build. It is questionable whether he may use the paid plans elsewhere (probably not; further information should be obtained from a specialist lawyer of trust after studying the contract).

The costs are another matter.

More precisely: It is his property, he only needs the permission of the authorities, i.e., a building permit, to build. The question is whether he would be allowed to use the paid plans elsewhere

That’s what I meant: the "license" to use the plans. Because if "the foundation slab is already laid," it makes sense to keep the house design.

It is questionable whether he is allowed to use the paid plans elsewhere (probably not, detailed information from the trusted specialist lawyer after studying the contract).

The permission to use the already existing plans is one thing.

But one should also not forget that the approval planning is still quite far removed from the implementation planning.
