Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

LOL forget it, there is more likely an extra charge. Currently everyone tries to swoop in like a vulture and make a profit. To get the biggest piece of the pie.

Recently roofers attaching a tile, after 10 minutes they were gone again. On the report rounded to half an hour. On the invoice then rounded to the hour. Reasoning "that's just how it is". 300€

Travel time is also time and has to be paid. Completely normal. Otherwise, you wouldn’t find anyone for a 10-minute job.

The trip was extra! Do you want me to explain 300 bucks for 5-10 minutes? I find it extortionate, currently this is the trend in construction.

Why do you pay then if the billed effort is untrue? If extra travel costs are added, note that this is often only the vehicle and travel time is charged separately.

I have no idea what you consider normal, but €50 travel costs for less than 10 km distance (they probably only came from the neighborhood, so it was less than 2 km) is ambitious.

It's also okay if everyone else considers that fair. I regard it as usury. Brazen and unjustified. The market is broken, at least they were able to repair it professionally. I find it worse when I have to explain to the specialist how it works. The last two electricians. That's absolutely not acceptable.

LOL forget it, there’s more likely to be a surcharge. Right now everyone is trying to swoop in like a vulture and make a profit. Trying to get the biggest piece of the pie.
