Construction progress: Duplex with WU basement and developed attic

I can only ever wonder about things like that. In our area, every trade was only awarded to regionally known contractors - there are plenty that one knows. You know their advertising signs from every newly opened construction area in the region. And if I were to come up with the idea of hiring a completely unknown person, I would inform myself very well beforehand... Therefore, I can only laugh when I see the typical reports on YT or ZDF.

Have you read this and the previous thread completely? If yes, I don’t understand your statement. If no, you shouldn’t make such general statements :)

Also got "lucky" the first time - sorry, then I have no sympathy if you (apparently) take the very first one and know nothing about him.

Ouch, so not read. Then better not talk like a smart aleck.

Ouch, so you didn’t read it. Then better not act all know-it-all.

No, I didn’t read through 85 pages of life story with 4 site managers and so on.
Didn’t know that’s a basic requirement to write something here.
I stick to my opinion – I won’t build with "Mr Unknown."
And if I do, I shouldn’t be surprised to see the general contractor more in court than on the construction site.

There is some truth to it insofar as it is probably the biggest investment in life for most average consumers. But as much as went wrong with the OP, you really cannot expect that. Even if you intentionally choose the candidate with the worst reputation. You cannot plan for that much to go wrong. In this respect, the phrase "serves you right" only applies here if you also consider past lives and mysteriously have insight into the misdeeds of past (and future?!) incarnations.

Therefore, I can only laugh every time I see the typical reports on YT or ZDF.

One does not laugh at the suffering of others, stupidity, mistakes, or whatever one may call it!

No, I didn’t quite read through 85 pages of life story with 4 site managers and so on.

There were once 2 other threads, with a total of certainly 300 pages ;)

Didn’t know that was a prerequisite to write something here.

It’s not necessarily. But if you talk like a know-it-all, then you should also know the context. I have an opinion on the topic of why the worst craftsmen and contractors of all time were gathered in one place here. Since we have already discussed that, I’ll stay out of it now ;)
