Construction ancillary costs not visible?

One has to say that beforehand he also cannot know how the ground is composed and accordingly does not know how much soil has to be removed or added. Construction electricity cannot know that either.

With a developer (a real, proper one), all this is at their expense and risk. You have a fixed price, and if a boulder is found while digging, the fixed price does not change.

In this constellation, as a buyer, you will never know individual items, but only the fixed price. Even the land portion is often not mentioned.

Now we do not know your contractual relationship and do not know exactly what is included in the "additional costs." Lawn and fence, etc. are not counted among the (construction) additional costs (these would be planning costs, fees, insurances, also financing costs). In all other constellations than with the developer, i.e., building with architect, general contractor, main contractor, all additional costs naturally fall to the builder. In these cases you also know all the details and all invoices (but only afterwards in full amount).

With BT you buy the plot and the house from a single source and have a fixed price. The BT would be the builder. In the case of a GU/GÜ you are the builder, so you are also responsible for incidental construction costs, since the plot already independently belongs to you and you can choose the construction company yourself. It is therefore important in such questions who the contracting parties are. And why do you want to go to court? Construction electricity can be calculated if the company has built several times before; there should hardly be any significant surprises, these costs are also not exorbitantly high. Regards

Hi,

some things seem to be going wrong here:

He won’t show me an offer from Kabel Deutschland because, as already mentioned, it’s not normal for the developer to present the invoices to the builder.

If it’s a developer, then you’re buying a finished piece of house and the additional construction costs are nyfp (=not your f***** problem) but the developer’s problem.
If he’s a general contractor or whatever, he has to provide a proper invoice. No invoice, no money.

Items like construction electricity/construction water/site setup, etc. are indeed sometimes charged as a flat rate. Usually, there are no big surprises there. But if he suddenly wants 10k€ more, he should be able to say what for.

If he has a contract with Kabel Deutschland, that sounds more like a developer. And then the additional costs are his problem.

Simply asked: Who currently owns the property on which construction is taking place? The GC/developer or you?

Best regards,

Andreas

To me, it sounds like the BT wants to get healthy at your expense. In other words, they want to shift as much of the ancillary construction costs as possible onto you so that their multi-family house becomes as cheap as possible. This works excellently, for example, with all joint costs, such as those for civil engineering.

To me, it initially reads as if far too little information is provided by the OP for any user to be able to offer concrete help ;) Rhineland greetings

As written... I don't believe it's a developer - rather a somewhat opaque architect / construction manager.
