Contrary to my intention not to comment further on this, I am doing so once again:
If I have claimed something here, it was not because I believe it to be so, but because an expert has said so and recorded it. If you have a different opinion about it, so be it. But I still trust the findings of the TÜV expert. Also, the underfloor heating under the tub was not the only reason for the necessary screed renewal, but more so the non-reduced insulation under the shower drains and the associated too low screed coverage of the underfloor heating in the showers. The screed is already broken in one corner here. I hope this suffices to clarify that I am not making pointless demands just to be able to complain about something.

Do you actually have the execution plans and other detailed plans so that each trade knows from the documents how to implement what? Or is it just done arbitrarily? Because what you describe wouldn't happen if one had such plans, read them, and understood them.

I have now read through 65 pages (phew!) and actually everything has been said. As a lawyer who also works with specialist lawyers for construction law, I can at least add a little bit of input: specialist lawyers for construction law can certainly know good construction companies or individual craftsmen, because not only the bad construction companies and craftsmen have legal trouble or need advice.

When the company recommended by the lawyer could/would continue under what conditions was never said here, so you neither have to assume that Hausbau0815 hasn’t studied or even had the contracts/specifications or anything else reviewed, nor that they will start building next week --> much of the nitpicking that this is now the next mess that can be made was therefore completely unnecessary.

At the same time a quick tip to from the lawyer’s side: it is true that your construction lawyer cannot represent the construction company if it were against you; but he also cannot represent you if it is against them, if they are also his clients. That means he basically cannot even review the construction contract. If they are a bigger client, it is also not out of the question that he would rather terminate your mandate than theirs if things get really tough.

I wish you good luck though. At least your family does not seem to be as dependent on this house as is sometimes the case.

What is the current state of affairs here, actually? I haven't read all the pages, there was quite a lot of off-topic and interpersonal drama. I'm more interested in how the construction etc. is currently going / progressing?

We recently watched a few documentaries about shoddy workmanship and how it can ruin people, relationships, and entire lives. It was quite intense to see and very moving. We get annoyed here and there about a crooked gap, a chipped spot on a tile, a wrongly installed air vent – and then I watch documentaries like that, or this thread, and it puts my perspective back into place a bit.

As I already wrote, I will not continue this here, I just wanted to clarify something once more above. I really have no need to constantly justify myself or to get annoyed by pointless and sometimes even offensive comments. I need the time and nerves for more important things! I will certainly continue to follow the posts here in the forum.

: Thanks for the objective assessment.

To what extent is your general contractor liable for the apparently faulty execution of a trade that he did not even commission?
