Hello,


The main train station is not a wish concert after all


I have been doing that for many years; if it were otherwise, our clients would hardly trust me.


No, I’ll refrain from any comment now.


Then something has gone seriously wrong in one place: built without soil survey, no [white tank] or faulty waterproofing, wrong light wells installed, etc. Maybe you are also describing open shells; there are countless possibilities and I don’t have a crystal ball at hand right now.


Yes, the question very much arises; contract comes from endure!

And since you "moved carefully on the screed," it could also have occurred to you that rainwater – especially where screed mainly consists of sand, cement, and water – cannot harm your freshly laid screed; your weight, however, very well can. And on the topic of bacteria – these charming single-celled organisms are everywhere; also in large part inside your body. If this were not the case, you – and humanity as a whole, before you misunderstand me here – would not be viable at all


What remains is that you ignored signed contractual components instead of waiting for your site manager’s availability. That is often how the nicest disputes arise…


I consider that a defensive claim for now; at least the "construction lawyer." I have been doing this job long enough to know that no site manager can be held liable for weather/severe weather (this is certainly similarly stated in your BB/your work contract), nor would a lawyer recommend your outstanding questions "replacement of the screed, continued assumption of warranty for the screed, or a reduction of the contract price" as realistically feasible; especially not at this point in time.

What I would like to recommend to you is quite simple: if a situation arises again that – and this is not meant to be harsh – overwhelms you in the short term, wait until you have reached your site manager. You yourself wrote that you are completely satisfied with the services of your provider so far; should there ever be imminent danger anywhere in the future, your site manager will surely react on his own.

Kind regards
