Construction progress: Duplex with WU basement and developed attic

Unfortunately, it is the case that you actually have to take care of things yourself in such a court proceeding... You have to google everything the lawyer suggests; you basically have to become half a lawyer yourself....

The outsider thinks: the lawyer does everything. He doesn't do anything. He does only what you tell him and no more and no less. Only few affected people have the nerve for that. Understandably.

Hahaha - it's just like with architects...

According to lawyer No. 2, our claims only arise from this extremely expensive expert report. Insofar as it determines what value the work of GU2 actually has. What claims for reimbursement do we have from paid but not or improperly performed services and what does defect rectification cost.

Here I would have expected a rough calculation or a rough estimate in advance. Otherwise, you don't know if it is all worth it.

Furthermore, it would have to be broken down what are execution errors and what are construction supervision errors, since the construction supervisor also completely failed here (I know, it’s always someone else’s fault, never mine).

I fully agree, that has to be clearly separated. Also do not forget and break down what you partially commissioned bypassing the people. It felt somewhat unclear, if my memory serves me right (sanitary for example, or the screed?). But what I wonder is, what did the construction supervisor do wrong? I read somewhere that he didn’t come anymore because he was seriously ill. Or am I mixing things up? Did he fail to recognize defects, or even declare defects as correct execution?? I couldn’t find anything else when quickly browsing.

The mandate with lawyer1 has not yet been terminated. That will be done soon by lawyer2. He doesn’t even know the accusation mentioned yet.
He was tasked with handling the compensation, with the goal of fast continuation of construction, preferably with this money, if an out-of-court settlement is possible. Apart from the termination, he did nothing and did that wrong as well.

I always try to understand what’s going on and searched through the first posts of this thread. I didn’t find much about the lawyer, but until the termination (which in my opinion might have been carried out correctly), it sounds like he insisted on defect rectification and contract continuation:

My construction consultant recommended a lawyer to me, who then filed the lawsuit for continuation of construction in March.

GU2 [..] My lawyer is currently preparing the lawsuit because of poor or non-performance.

In October 20 we were hit full force by a left-turning driver. We had absolutely no fault (as always :)). The accident opponent had no papers with him, so police was called. Accident report, alcohol test for both drivers.

You’re really unlucky. :(
In cases of no-fault accidents always immediately hire a specialized lawyer. The opposing insurance has to pay for him. No idea if that would still be possible retroactively, but from such lawyers I’ve only heard good things from colleagues. I don’t have more to report on that. Maybe we shouldn’t deepen that further here, since this is about the house. In car forums one can say more about the value of the car.

Always hire a specialized lawyer immediately after accidents that are not your fault. The opposing insurance has to pay for that. No idea if that would still be possible afterwards, but I have only heard good things about such lawyers from colleagues. I don't have any more information on that. Maybe we shouldn't go into more detail here, since this is about the house. In car forums, you can get more information about the value of the car.

I wasn't concerned here about the value of the car, but rather to show what it costs to get your rights, even if you are truly absolutely and demonstrably innocent in the matter. The only mistake: being at the wrong place at the wrong time.

: Where did you get that from? In my opinion, it comes from the deleted thread. This was only about the butcher’s house here, or am I mistaken?

My construction advisor recommended a lawyer who then filed the lawsuit for continuation of construction in March.

This definitely concerned GU1. With whom we had settled the dispute in September 2019 and who, despite the settlement and obligation to continue construction, sold his property to a mailbox company. I was left with a piece of paper that is supposedly worth €130,000. I filed a criminal complaint against him and had access to his investigation file some time ago. So they have him by the balls. However, I am one of many victims. There probably won’t be anything left to recover. I’ll take care of that later. In any case, the two new managing directors have been wanted by the police for years. I also wonder why a notary doesn’t have to check something like that before signing his name under the sales documents. Oh yes, I forgot, we do live in a state governed by the rule of law. The question is, rule of law for whom? The saying "You need money to get your rights" takes on a whole new meaning here.

Everything from this thread. If you click on the quotes, you will get to the corresponding posts. At least the 2nd quote should refer to the butcher.

: Learned something new again. Thanks. The 1st quote comes from the summary. Almost forgotten. "Today is a nice day after all. Two weeks ago I suggested an architect/site manager to GU2, which he rejected. Then he proposed the former site supervisor, who hasn't been heard from since November. I rejected him. My lawyer is currently preparing the lawsuit here because of poor or non-performance. That he supposedly agreed to take over the site management after not even being able to handle the site supervision is already a joke in itself. Yesterday GU2's lawyer wrote to me that he will assign architect Mr. XY with the site management if I agree. I spoke with him today and will meet him on Friday at the construction site. However, GU2 told him that the house is almost finished; I see that a bit differently." The thing is from February 2020. If I should explain this to you now, I first have to put myself back in time. This former site supervisor, Mr. Th., was appointed by GU2 in September 2019 as an expert. However, he certified a lot of defects to GU2, which he had not expected at all. Since my previous site supervisor (Mr. P.)—and you probably meant him before—but he became seriously ill in the meantime and was no longer a site supervisor, I asked this Mr. Th. whether he would take over the site supervision, which he did. My lawyer (who is neither Lawyer1 nor Lawyer2, but was even before those two and is dealing with the Zellin matter as well as the above-mentioned car matter and is actually my house and yard lawyer, but due to the enormous scope and lack of capacities referred me to Lawyer1, which he now deeply regrets) prepared the lawsuit against Mr. Th. as well. However, he then handed it over to Lawyer1 because the matter has to be seen in connection with GU2. You sue one and announce the dispute to the other. Since until that point the butcher (GU2) was registered with the building authority as site manager (site manager declaration) and I meanwhile knew about his actual profession, I demanded the deployment of a "real" site manager. And here GU2 actually brought Mr. Th. into play, who had disappeared since November under an ongoing contract. Are you still keeping up?
