And from when does the warranty (for the house/the base coat/the top coat) start then?

That will be the most interesting aspect of the whole matter, since it is a contract and the acceptance will hardly be complete upon moving in (implied conduct). In a legal dispute, it will probably at least be "interesting".

The warranty for the house and the base coat starts upon acceptance. The one for the top coat only starts upon application of the top coat.
The trade is declared by the general contractor as an "external service" within the framework of the contract for work. I also only pay upon completion of the plaster. And that directly to the plasterer. By the way, this was the case for many services.

Is that a premium scratch plaster? From Knauf?

The plaster is from Knauf, unfortunately, I can’t tell you the exact designation off the top of my head at the moment. Why?

Is it a scratch plaster? From the experience of three houses (over years, which is why we decided on it) I can tell you that there are no cracks with proper application.

We have not yet made a final decision on the type of plaster. It will probably be a scratched plaster. Thank you for your tip. The general contractor and the plasterer will have even more experience than with three houses. For them, the risk is definitely lower. And I do not want to have touch-ups done after just half a year, in case of doubt. Even if those would then be covered by the warranty.

I would rather ask how thousands of others do it (rissfrei) and don't manage it. But if you can handle it - it certainly won't hurt. I can only speak for us, that we couldn't wait for the facade to be finished.

I see many houses here where it is done like this. In my hometown, I also know a house (by another builder) that shows significant cracks in the top coat. I'm actually quite happy with it. That way, next year I can design my outdoor area without constantly having to be extremely careful not to ruin/damage my beautiful white fine plaster.

You're of course right about that - I'm always trying to make sure the plaster doesn't get damaged. Maybe that really is the better way with the plaster - you down there have more experience with it. It usually goes against the expectations of the clients.
