We were assigned two specialists from the Bauherren-Schutzbund – and yes, I am a member: An architect who takes care of checking the construction and service description as well as the acceptance of the individual construction phases. And a lawyer for the pure contract (again: it is a developer contract; this seems to be significantly different here than with a work contract)
I think the price for two specialists is reasonable. At that time, we only had the construction and service description checked. The architect also roughly reviewed the contract (based on experience). Afterwards, everything was discussed – which took a very long time (2 afternoons just for the discussion). For that, we paid – I believe – between 1,500 and 1,700 euros. So the 900 euros for both is almost a bargain. A problem that arose: The gentleman from the Bauherren-Schutzbund and the boss + employee of our company had a certain history. I don’t know who was right from either side in that history (but I have a feeling in favor of the construction company). But there seemed to be a rift. During the inspection and the following discussion, I couldn’t shake the impression that the gentleman from the Bauherren-Schutzbund was “a bit” guided by his feelings.
We then had the construction supervision done by TÜV, as I didn’t want the differences to continue being played out on my back.
By the way, our construction went very well and smoothly. I gladly recommend the company and even today the site manager is available for questions or will come by if necessary.
