Construction company halts work despite overpayment

I am happy for you that the court has decided this way. Good luck

The judgment is, in my opinion, unfortunately worth nothing. The company will not be able to pay the money, even if it wanted to. Leave the [Krempel] behind you, find a reasonable construction supervision, create a concept, and then choose the appropriate companies.

Regarding my second to last post, I still have to write that he is completely crazy. I myself wonder how it is possible to screw up twice in a row like this and if it might be my fault, but I get confirmation from others (construction supervisors, planner) that it’s not us/me, but that we just have really bad luck.
He refers to witnesses that we gave him the orders for the roof and facade orally, although we don’t even have an offer from him for the facade. I spoke with the people he refers to, and they also say that no orders were discussed at all. He had said that the scaffolding would remain until the end of the construction measures. A third-party use was not ruled out (because it was not addressed at all), and if no reservation was offered, I wonder how the €10,000 materials in the offer for replacement measure masonry work (which included the scaffolding) add up.
How is it possible to deal with construction companies two times in a row who act like this and twist the facts?
I have only one explanation: the two have a shared past (the ex-construction company was once employed by the now also ex-construction company – but there were massive differences), same age, same place of residence, the wives are colleagues – all proven, now my guess – either that’s contagious or there’s something wrong with the drinking water there :eek:! Or do you automatically become like that when you are the managing director of a construction company? That you then turn into Donald Duck and only think about bills. I hope not!

For the future, from now on only accept written offers even if it takes longer and have them checked for reasonableness by your expert. No more hourly rate offers and ideally don’t decide anything yourself anymore :p. Pay someone who can do it and that’s that.

Perhaps smaller orders would be sensible, instead of awarding everything to one? That could spread the further risk.

The case occupies my thoughts a bit more, so I have gone through the last 15 pages again to see what the problem was that led to the new discord. I only found: - Invoice felt too high - Key to the construction door was missing Is that really all? The minor storm damages must have occurred only after the termination.

I think the bill is not just feeling too high. And now that he claims I commissioned him with the roof and exterior plaster in the presence of witnesses and therefore no third-party use of the scaffolding is possible, is really awful. That was the actual problem, that he said he would dismantle the scaffolding again because third-party use is out of the question. That was not agreed upon. The agreement was that the scaffolding would remain in place throughout the entire construction period. Another point is that we are both victims of the 1st BU and have had multiple phone calls in the past (since summer 2019) during which he developed rather strange ideas and tried to use me as a pawn, which partly succeeded. However, his desire for revenge went too far in some places. Now he wants to charge me for this time (he states 60 hours) as expert hours and denies being the mastermind. Those would be my "figments of imagination."
