Collection and landfill costs

Hello,

mh, construction expert, well I don’t know if the site manager interferes here. The disposal and the landfill had to be commissioned by us independently, so it doesn’t concern my site manager of the construction company either.

He "should" not interfere, he should tell you whether the work was carried out properly and according to requirements. As a layperson, you certainly can’t tell ... and he won’t lose any face by doing so.

I just don’t think it’s right that a day was agreed for the excavation and now they just started, why can’t someone just call briefly and say: "hey, we’re coming today," that’s all I want.
Honestly, I don’t find that too much to ask, since this item is our responsibility. For example, we communicated this the same way to the neighbors, i.e. the other duplex house.

Laugh – I haven’t gotten upset about that for a long time; otherwise, I would have a lot to do or at least an ulcer. There are always reasons why or why not ... as long as the earthworks contractor doesn’t give me any reason for complaint, I can live with that. One "of my" earthworks contractors talks like a waterfall, nonstop ... not always delightful; but I can trust him blindly.

I just work in an industry where correctness is very important, and just looking at the offers makes my hair stand on end, none of them even include the company’s address!!!
And they are signed by people without i.V. or i.A. ... tsk ... I don’t know ...

Yes, yes, the clumsy ones – most of the time mom takes care of the commercial side and she probably has never heard of i.A. or i.V. in her life.

If the earthworks contractor worked correctly, write it off as life experience. More important now is that your construction company issues correct and verifiable invoices including attachments.

Kind regards

Hi,

I somehow don’t quite understand why the person who digs the excavation pit doesn’t also transport the excavated material away?

Regards

hello, the one who excavates the construction pit also takes care of the removal, much to our distress. since we could not choose the civil engineer, he can simply dictate the prices without us having any basis for negotiation.

so, yesterday there were endless discussions after all, because the original value was exceeded by more than 50% (quantity) and he did not want to take the blame for it.

we have now reluctantly agreed to a so-so compromise, since otherwise he would not have continued.

@Bauexperte, the invoice comes directly from the civil engineer, the bu stays completely out of it. at least this applies to the service of removal and disposal, including the "accessories".

sorry, I'm a bit slow, but why did you have to hire exactly this deep foundation specialist?

exceeded by more than 50%

Can it be a little more? How can you be wrong by 50%?

I suspect that, for you, like me, earthworks including removal are the problem, right? Well, mine didn’t have a great price either, but as I said, that’s just the beginning... there’s more to come!

Anyone will pick up the excavation soil, where’s the problem? Why don’t you take someone else? Everything is very confusing here...

A little tip: clarify directly whether you also need new material for backfilling?! Then find someone who delivers it cheaply, and maybe also offers cheap removal!

Hello,

we have now reluctantly agreed to a so-so compromise, as otherwise he would not have continued.

If your property allows it – meaning later accessibility is ensured – I would have the excavator only do the pure excavation and store the excavated material on the property. Then you can calmly look for a suitable excavator for the rest and avoid the current pressure.

@Bauexperte, the invoice comes directly from the excavator, the client stays completely out of it. at least that applies to the service of removal and disposal, incl. the "accessories".

That is clear to me – but someone has to make a verifiable statement whether the previous earthworks correspond to the target specified by the soil expert/surveyor … this is usually done – with EL earthworks – by our site manager; he is responsible for the further construction of the house and if the foundation is already bad, the rest can only be terrible …

Kind regards
