Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

We ordered our dishwasher last week. It arrived today :cool:

We also can't complain about delivery times with our tradespeople. Roofer/carpenter fixed in June, windows at the end of June/beginning of July. External plasterer/external insulation also around that time.

Bricks (Braas Tegalit) have been here since Monday, windows have been installed since yesterday. Insulation material is already stored as well.

What is only supposed to come in January is the heat pump. But I'm still quite relaxed about that :)

Take what is there and do not insist on something that still needs to be produced..

The kitchen will be delivered next week including all electrical appliances. Just go to a decent kitchen builder who doesn’t sell all the appliances in between for profit and reorder them ;)

But I think that only applies to brand new devices.

Yes, that's correct.

Take what is available and don't insist on something that still needs to be produced..

I did not "insist" on devices, but devices were sold to us for which delivery times of 4-5 months were indicated, while we still had a good 6.5 months. At that time, it was not yet foreseeable that the whole thing would be delayed so extremely. Later, I asked if we could withdraw from the devices and take stock items. That was of course not possible either, the kitchen studio would have had to refund money otherwise, and who wants that… Now I wouldn't order devices anymore that are not immediately available..

The appliances weren’t even there for him to have sold them in the meantime.

But yes, you did everything right, congratulations!

Last conversation with the wholesaler regarding delivery times...

for a standard 1000 liter heating buffer tank approx. May 2023

heating element with photovoltaic connection maybe sometime in March 2023

Fortunately, the experienced heat pump specialist uses neither buffer tanks nor heating elements. So no problem.
