Hello everyone,

we are about to agree on a construction contract in addition to the construction and performance description. Do you have any tips on what should definitely be included? What was missing for you and unexpectedly caused additional costs afterwards? What experiences do you have with negotiating additional services? Where did it work for you and with which arguments?
Thank you very much for your tips

1. Write down everything, really everything that is important to you and also price it!!! In our example, the wood-aluminum option was important and we were convinced to only write plastic into the contract, and the surcharge would then be calculated during the sampling... for us now clearly the worse position. 2. Make everything really everything optionally removable where you have doubts that the general contractor can implement it according to your wishes...

I would include everything that the contractor doesn't find difficult to do. For example, any foundations or a slab for a shed, gravel for the yard, etc. In the end, for example, I negotiated the concrete terrace as a discount. But to be fair, I must also say that the contract had no price increases. I think that no longer exists. However, I forgot things like green roofing, etc. Additional charges were fair for us as well. Although the prices always do shock you a bit, considering what it actually costs.

Apart from the already mentioned things, it should always include when the construction starts, how long until completion, whether it is a fixed price, and how long the price is binding.
