Heating not available - Who bears the costs?

Who bears the risk if a storm knocks over a pallet of building materials or stones in your construction site storage and damages the roof tiles? Or children playing who use slingshots and stones for target practice? The longer you store the stuff on your site, the more likely this becomes; besides the prepayment from the general contractor (which also impacts their liquidity), someone has to pay for it. And would there even be space for the roof tile pallets on a tight plot where excavators, cranes, fences, excavation pits, and other building materials also need to find their place?

Of course, preordering is not without risk and not every construction site is suitable for storing materials. But there are houses in the area where one trade follows another, and everyone obviously has their materials ready. And then there are houses that stand for months without a proper roof. If, as a contractor, I have to meet a fixed price and a construction deadline, then I have to weigh what is more important to me. And if at the end of '21 I still rely on getting everything on call, then I also bear the risk.

Work in project management for a few years, then you will know what nonsense you are talking about.

I think talking to each other but also reacting proactively and looking for solutions is appropriate in the current situation.

One quickly forgets the contract, which is based on _two partners_. You do not want to seal an enemy by signing a contract. And neither side has superhuman abilities. In this respect, the problem should be tackled together and an agreement reached, provided that both parties communicate properly (here the main contractor).

(I have no idea about Hotboys)

I think every wife (and husband in a same-sex partnership) should say: "Well, I only know one hotboy and he belongs to me!" ;) (SCNR)

Well, I only know one hot boy and he belongs to me!"

I could have also said: I have the hot boy at home :D… though straight ;)

Exactly. Everyone can imagine it for themselves: You are a master plumber, have your business, your employees. And suddenly the liter of diesel for 4 vans costs almost double, materials sometimes five times as much, much is not available at all... and the client keeps calling and talking about penalties and not paying...

Where are you supposed to get it from if you don't get any deliveries? Even hotboys seem to be scarce nowadays.
