Contractual penalty or bonus for deadlines

That would have to be checked again by reading the passage exactly, because 200 EUR/day is no small matter for the entrepreneur.

In my contract it also says that I get 50 EUR/day. However, it also states that everything the contractor, i.e. the general contractor, is not responsible for, does not count towards the construction time guarantee.
Drying times, for example.

It would be interesting in this context whether he can also attribute delivery bottlenecks with the material to force majeure?

I am aware that the money will be very hard to get. But the possibility exists :cool:

If he can definitively prove it, I think yes: he can.

If he can definitely prove it, I think so: he can.

I am currently waiting for ceilings. A factory was closed due to Corona... that probably should not count towards the construction time guarantee. Neither do the 3 months of waiting before because there was groundwater in the construction area and no frost skirt could be poured...

But I also understand that, honestly. What is he supposed to do, if there is no material, there is none.

If I order a PLC today, it will arrive in September 2023. I also depend on my customer understanding that I am not intentionally leaving him hanging. I just don’t get the material...

Realistically, this possibility only exists if the developer is very lenient. In court, the costs will consume it.

1,400 EUR/week is a lot of money, the entire margin can quickly vanish.

Well, causing pain is the purpose of a penalty ;-)

It is a self-imposed penalty. And the general contractor only does this because he is very confident that he will never have to pay this penalty.
