Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

This is how it will run in all areas. Everyone gladly took the opportunity to raise prices and pushed it onto the „Weltmarkt“. If the price goes down, suddenly many reasons are found why their own price is not entirely connected to the world market and therefore there is no room for reductions. As long as the demand is there, the margin is simply optimized.

Increasing the margin is absolutely legitimate.

What a statement in the currently tense situation! Do you also just get 5 or 10% more salary from your employer "just like that"?

Supply and demand. If he can simply increase his prices by 10% without any losses, then he is doing everything right. If his partners switch to the competition because they lower their prices again, then he has miscalculated.
No, you don’t get that, but as an employee you also have almost no financial risks at the end of the day.

This is how it will run in all areas. Everyone was happy to take the opportunity to raise prices and push it onto the "world market." If the price goes back down, suddenly many reasons are found why one's own price is not fully linked to the world market, and therefore there is no room for reductions. As long as demand is there, the margin is simply optimized.

This is exactly the highly praised market economy we live in.
When people think of a market economy, they always first think of a society of abundance, where all providers have to undercut each other price-wise. The consumer thus pays the lowest price. If the abundance is missing, then the price is simply maximized. This is how the system we live in works.

Do you also just get 5 or 10% more salary "just like that" from your employer?

Yes. Supply and demand. The negotiation is still pending for me this year. But under 5% would be less than inflation and thus a pay cut. I don't think my boss can afford to kill my motivation. Order books are fuller than full. Let's see.

After all, we are now millionaires. Maybe we should sell the old Twingo and switch to Daimler in a proper manner.

:p You obviously don’t think that way, otherwise you wouldn’t think of “switching” but of “adding”.

Raising the margin is absolutely legitimate.

Here a difference between legal and legitimate becomes apparent. The market situation allows legal price increases. To what extent this is also legitimate can be questioned if there are no good reasons for the price increase.
