In variant 2, however, he also bears the full costs of defect rectification in addition to the damages payment. And is that really cheaper for him than terminating the contract?
Why I was annoyed with him again today:
He hired a young man for drywall dismantling at 20 € net + VAT/hour. He’s doing it all alone, nearly 400 sqm of double-layered drywall and trying, if possible, to save a few panels.
As GU2 told me, he had invoiced 3,000 € up to last week. Since everything was short notice, the young man postponed his other appointments to mid-January to finish here. Last night GU2 called him to come back only on Monday, saying he was too expensive and too slow. Such nonsense. He said the BU had done the dismantling for about 3,000 €. However, he did not properly read the BU’s offer again. The offer states: 80.00 m roof slope, open knee wall to upgrade the vapor barrier connection, including closure 2,905.60 €. No way, right??? I first talked to the young man and tried to fix it; of course, he isn’t interested in working for GU2 anymore.
The second thing: I received this email from GU2 today
I expect a written declaration of consent by 07.01.2021 that you accept the height differences between the rooms with different floor coverings. Otherwise, I will be forced to declare a work stop until clarification.
The tilers apparently reported that there will be a height difference between the bathroom floor tiles and the hallway if the latter is not tiled as well. Why that is, no idea, it could be that the screed in the bathroom is too high.
In reply to my answer that I do not accept height differences, I received:
There is no alternative to the height difference unless you want the bathroom floor tiles throughout the entire ground floor. According to the construction contract, no different heights are planned for the screed installation. Thus, we can declare a work stoppage until the matter is clarified or I receive from you a written statement that you accept the height difference.
:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
I think termination is better .........

Seriously, have you ever considered contacting RTL or VOX? (Or other channels? I don't know where these construction rescue shows are aired)

The error will lie with GU1, or with you. Another option is to gently smooth it out. That means from the tile level, gently sloping into the room.

I claim: that document is a retaliation. He is certainly not at fault here, unless it was explicitly agreed otherwise. But no one probably thought about that. Now it’s up to you: agree, or construction stop.

Again, there seem to be two realities. One, probably contractually agreed upon, does not provide for different screed heights in the rooms. Accordingly, one tile will be higher than other flooring, that's just how it is. In the other reality, namely that of , everything is supposed to be brought to the same level. Just the way the communication from the main contractor is formulated makes it clear what he expects from you. In my opinion, it is only a matter of time until the last main contractor and the last craftsman will avoid this construction like the plague.

Does your construction contract state that the screed in the bathroom and kitchen must have a different height than in the adjoining non-tiled rooms?

In my construction contracts, it said that something like that is specified in the factory and execution planning.
