Construction progress: Duplex with WU basement and developed attic

What I am wondering now is whether the construction companies/tradesmen treat you that way because you are a woman? Gradually, I find no other explanation.

With us, it was 99% only me and not my husband. No one treated me like that. Actually, no one else treats me differently because of my gender.

I don't think it's a matter of gender. They just aren't used to contradiction. And I don't feel they treated me that way either. I didn't make life easy for them and stood my ground accordingly. The two (GU1 and Mr. X) definitely have a voodoo doll in the closet that looks just like me.

It's nice when you can still laugh

Basement: 200 sqm living space. Both semi-detached houses together just under 400 sqm

490,000 €

>€850/m2. How on earth is that supposed to work?

That's the art: laughing even when you feel like crying.

Was that a rhetorical question? With a flat rate fixed price, that doesn't matter; it only becomes interesting if one contractual partner does not or does not want to adhere to what is contractually agreed. But then it is not even worth the paper it is written on. HOWEVER, they of course know that too and try to solve it the way we do: they simply don't deliver what was contractually agreed. And then it ends in no delivery at all. Construction stop. Or you get builders (neighbors of ours) who moved in roughly on time but got ripped off and in the end paid for the interior doors twice: once to the general contractor and once again to the craftsman. And the general contractor calls that his personal profit. Note: we never had such an inexpensive contractual partner, but nevertheless some try their luck.
