Even a design-and-build architect is rather the exception, and that he then behaves more like an architect than like a general contractor is even more so.

I can do without the tips/must do without the tips. Local architects and craftsmen here don’t get involved and politely refuse, all already tried. The screed has to be removed not only because of the underfloor heating under the tubs, but mainly due to the insufficient cover in the shower drains. I’ve already written all that and don’t want to keep repeating myself. Therefore, the hints and warnings are pointless. Sorry, but I have already expressed my views on that several times here. It was the wish of some forum members that I continue reporting here. Then please just leave it at that and direct your advice to those who can make use of it. I’m happy to be considered resistant to advice and can live with my negative learning curve. If you don’t like it, then don’t read this thread.

That's how you are known. Always looking for a fight.

Just the statement that after two bad GUs you signed a continuation contract with Romanians via something like MyHammer makes me doubt your learning curve. Especially since only the required advance payment of 40k€ stopped you from actually going through with it, as you wrote. Otherwise, you would have just let an unqualified construction team do it.

You always write that you have a plan and know what you are doing, but your desire to finish the house at all costs within the requested budget unfortunately makes you resistant to advice.

Somewhere here it was said that you signed a lump sum contract with GU1 where he assured you to deliver both units for under 1000€/sqm and when you got hints that it is not possible to get quality for that, you argued with construction prices from 1999 and said it’s not your problem. Then GU2 came who wanted to rip you off and then GU3 who is a butcher.

Take two steps back, find out in your area who delivers quality and not only fits into your budget. The matter is long over.

Here is more than right, whoever can step in now is more than suspicious. You should have learned that by now.

See you in a few months, hopefully with more positive experiences than currently to read.

EDIT: You don’t have to reply. I already read your answer above :cool:

It was a Bulgarian company. Always stick to the facts. "Learning curve" seems to be a very popular word here.

No, I just don't let myself be fooled. Which one of you ended up getting their house for the amount that was quoted at contract signing? I suspect none. Here a change order, there a small modification. Not to mention the selection process. And I’m not going to put up with this crap. Of course, this excludes subsequent homeowner requests and additional services that have to be paid for extra. But that’s not what I’m talking about. If I have a fixed-price contract, it can’t suddenly cost €6,000 more because of a beam that needs to be added which was forgotten in the calculation.
