Exceptionally, I’m not just throwing out grumpy one-liners or long-winded explanations somewhere between ( ) but have a concern myself. As already mentioned in "andernthreads," our GÜ has filed for insolvency. The court apparently approved the self-administration within one day (so the business naturally continues), and they as well as all parties involved expect that the mess can be pulled out of the dirt quite easily by April. They say so. What the owner/manager says about how this came about sounds plausible. Additionally, he wouldn’t have had to inform us, but he did. We are building according to VOB, so we have a right to cancel. For various reasons, however, we do not want to exercise this right unless absolutely necessary. But of course, it is extremely important to us, especially in this situation, not to overpay, so it would be totally great if you could take another critical look at our payment plan (The manager wants to come a bit further towards us "as compensation for the upset and uncertainty" in the payment plan and/or price, so we are still in the negotiation phase, even though our construction is starting in parallel).
Our contract states:
Contract sum is 300,000. Essential equipment (which influences the cost breakdown per trade):
Painter and flooring work included
Electric venetian blinds on almost all windows
Controlled residential ventilation with enthalpy heat exchanger (Wolf Comfort CWL 400 Excellent)
a lift-and-slide door
a double door with light panel
The building structure is very simple, rectangular floor plan, 2 full floors, 23° pitched roof.
Further upgrades (especially heating: currently gas, later commissioned as brine heat pump) are handled via change orders, which will of course only be billed after installation; normally (if "within scope") bundled at the end. Earthworks generated cost savings of ~1500 €, which are also included in the change orders.
We contractually have a right to a 5% completion bond. We have now requested this, but naturally will not receive it (unless one happens to be floating around there). We will probably accept its omission in exchange for retention of the corresponding amount, right?
I would greatly appreciate the concentrated forum expertise, and if anyone feels like it, also tell me where we might have been stupid and naive. Go ahead. I do know that myself, but it also feels good to get that off my chest
(And of course, the post ended up long-winded again, sorry…)
