Floor plan of a bungalow with 140 sqm - does the storage space fit?

You can call back ;-) You don’t do anything without a written request. And if they then silently let your project lie idle, you will have to discuss the default in arrears with them in writing.

Yes, we also find this behavior very unprofessional. It is happening exactly like this right now with other clients of the company, still under the fixed price guarantee. One call and you wait forever for something in writing. Very annoying!

Be glad if a contractual partner behaves unprofessionally in legal matters: what you (proven) know in writing, you must (if necessary quickly) react to. What you only hear on the phone, on the other hand, gives you an advantage, because your reaction clock has not started, but you can already prepare and get legal advice. That clients often behave like wives of abusive husbands (he just lost control / he will surely be nice again tomorrow / this will never happen again, at least he tries) ... Your contractor’s behavior is a clear signal to keep the lawyer’s cell phone number under your pillow and buy a whip for the construction expert. Go to a lawyer, and if they say "be just as unfair," then do it!

Document with date, names and details who is affected (and ally yourselves, exchange contact details including those of your lawyers) and when what happened in what way. The contractor must be made clear that you are the recalcitrant board of clients who must not be allowed any bit of bad behavior anymore. And you must be a united front where every misconduct is circulated in real time. When contractors play unfairly, you have to show your teeth immediately – otherwise they will try it again.

Ha, yes, on that point my husband and I react very differently. He doesn’t put up with it, I’m constantly trying to mediate... :) We already got a good construction law lawyer through contacts. So the number is under the pillow. I just called the construction company and hopefully will now get a call back from management. Maybe I should let my husband handle it though... I just think you have to still be able to build with them and reach some sort of agreement. With the increase, we are at 2550 per sqm. It’s not much cheaper in Lower Saxony at the moment either. But well, not at any price either... The company refers to BGB 313, as they always do. But he would have to explain that to me first, our contract was signed on 07.04.22, at which point there was already war and scarcity and prices had already risen sharply.

The inflation card cannot be played arbitrarily by the company at any time, even if it should apply. Do not let your husband make the call, even your call was a mistake: in my view, you are the beaten wife, and the entrepreneur is the abuser who is given the opportunity to vow to improve. If your husband is the fighter and you the appeaser, you are both tactically unsuitable for this call: because that is your nature, and whoever of you calls already sets the tone. With a 50:50 chance, the wrong one of you is calling. The lawyer does not call with either of your emotional or temperamental states, nor with his own. Rather, he acts as a performer trained to switch between good cop and bad cop even within the same sentence if necessary.

Hmm. So do nothing now? Then it goes into the time, and since we pay interest, that is also money... Or already use the joker, even though nothing is in writing?
