Doesn't help you now, but about €40,000 more for the same house seems pretty steep to me.. I don't know if I would want to give this free pass...

I already see a problem here, and I don't mean the lack of contract understanding. By basically not fulfilling your part of the contract, you have released the general contractor from adhering to the agreed sum. I always preach this over and over here. Even with general contractors, there is no fixed price because the uninformed builder does not recognize necessary but missing items in the contract and will have to add items by default. A buffer of the mentioned amount is, as already stated, not unusual. But then we are back to the point of lack of preparation. You can't change it anymore anyway. Make the best of it.

Yes, I agree with you, the question is: is there an alternative? Especially since the exact price wasn't even on the table yet. The managing director said: he thinks it won't be €30,000. He estimates a surcharge of €5,000-10,000.
We'll see. From what I've read so far, the amounts he mentioned seem to me like an attempt at consolation that has nothing to do with today's reality. I would like to be wrong about that.

I have to disagree with that, if you are referring to me now. I really have a fixed price and all sample selections and extra items contractually agreed upon. Including ceiling height adjustments, electrical planning, floor coverings, etc., even the paving and terrace work...

I submitted the building application at the end of December, but only a planning contract and a commitment to the same prices as in the offer. The construction company also confirmed this last week. No financing finalized yet, only non-binding talks held. So far, €30,000 paid from equity. Financing and construction contract will come in June. Building permit will come in July.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you. Maybe it won't be so bad.

I'll tell you what interesting stories time here in the forum has brought up. From base sealing, to drainage, platform over missing soil reports with replacement of the foundation ground up to removal and landfill costs, everything has happened multiple times.

And yes, I am referring to you and yes, everyone else has also always spoken of flat rates. You can just search for flat rate :cool:

But to keep this short, just let it come to you.
