Floor plan planning shortly before submitting the building application

I've had this feeling for pages now please hit the table properly, you are paying and somehow you only live with compromises.

Unfortunately, I did not notice many things in the execution planning. However, they are contractually agreed upon. Nevertheless, I will ask the expert on Monday whether the things that bother me are really okay according to the contract, according to recognized rules of technology, etc.

It is no use to generally make a fuss if it is not well-founded. The general contractors are not building their first house and know how to defend themselves against unfounded criticism from the builders. If I raise something, it must be well-founded and justified.

If I bring something up, it must be well-founded and justified.

The GU gave you an outdated plan to forward to the energy supplier, and their site manager was apparently absent when the supplier's technician arrived. This criticism is justified and well-founded at least insofar as the plan was outdated. The ambiguity of the markings can be discussed, but it would not have caused any damage if the site manager had been present. A technician on their own does what their dispatcher has instructed them to do.

The general contractor gave you an outdated plan to forward to the utility provider, and his site manager was apparently absent when the utility technician showed up.

The plan was handed over to the utility provider many, many months ago. At that time, the plan was still current.

The site manager was indeed not on site. However, he argues here that he is not responsible for coordinating and supervising the client’s trades within the scope of the contract for work. There is no contractual basis for that.

Furthermore, the utility provider does not give any times when they will come. So he or I could basically stand around all day waiting for someone to show up. I would have done that if I had foreseen this mess beforehand.

This criticism is justified and valid at least to the extent that the plan was outdated.

People will say here that the plans have been updated and it would have been my duty to forward them to the utility provider since they themselves do not coordinate the utility issue according to the contract for work. A hint to me would of course be understandable, but whether I can legally demand that is another matter.

From that perspective, I do not see it as simply that "making a scene" alone leads to a solution here. The question first is which services are really owed contractually, where misconduct has occurred, and where I would have had a claim that something should have happened differently. A constructive question in this regard would be, for example, whether it is customary now to include the service connection box in the execution plan or not.

Unfortunately, I did not notice many things in the execution planning. However, they are contractually agreed upon. Nevertheless, on Monday I will ask the expert whether the things that bother me are really okay according to the contract, according to recognized rules of technology, etc.

There is no point in blindly lashing out if it is not well-founded. The general contractors are not building their first house and know how to defend themselves against unfounded criticism from the clients. If I raise something, then it has to be well-founded and justified.

Well, if you read your "story" like that, you can get the feeling that your general contractor is building their first house.

I would be interested in your selection criteria according to which you chose your general contractor...

Don't belittle yourself and don't only look for mistakes in yourself. You didn't do the planning, you bought the general contractor for that. I believe a few strong words won't hurt. Not every word has to be well-founded. Your general contractor is currently testing how far he can go with you, and that is far.

What happens if he imposes a work stoppage? Who suffers what damage? His next progress payment, for which he already had costs, is also on hold for now.

Neither side has so far even mentioned the word Baustopp. No one is interested in that. And strictly legally speaking, you can criticize everything during the final acceptance that was not executed properly – which does not mean that it should not be addressed beforehand. But if defects are not remedied, are documented, and the general contractor continues to build, they do not disappear because of that and remain on the agenda. Legally speaking, I can only make comments and correction requests during the construction phase...... and give the notice that I will not accept the house as it is.
