Civil engineering works - higher costs

And no matter, even if that were the case: Why not in a forum? Where else? xD

Face to face ;) Exactly what you are writing here you will discuss next week with your buddy. He will surely know why he talks about a "trial invoice". You will come to an agreement... otherwise only a sliding tackle will help at the next old boys' game :cool:

Yeah... In the end, I'm pretty sure we'll get this sorted :) You're right. However, you can always pick up a tip or some experience in the forum now and then :p

Fixed prices / general contractor / variable prices.... --> this has nothing to do with this story here? This is really about a mistake made by the civil engineer that caused additional costs. Additional costs that definitely exist, yes, and definitely justified, since the material was also backfilled!

Only: We just didn't want it that way :D

YES IT DOES. Because the civil engineer offered you something in the quote that he then saw on the construction site he could never manage. This was also reflected in the no longer findable thread. Ignorance of the trades, because there are also bad actors in the market who first offer cheaply and then only make a profit through such actions.

Maybe one of the older members is reading here and can find the thread. The lady had an ice cream shop and also bought a VW bus/Caddy. The last status was that she had initiated lawsuits against GU1 and expert2 or something like that.

found, to search for something.... :

If it's your buddy, you will surely work it out.

if it were the civil engineer from the general contractor, you would surely already have €30K in additional costs according to your description, just as information. clarify this with your buddy, you will need the civil engineer again for the slope when landscaping the garden
