Hello dear people,

I have a small problem...

I am currently having a house built, from the outside it is mostly finished, everything went quite well, there were a few minor issues but I was able to overlook them.

Now my problem is that the plumber from the developer went bankrupt and now the construction company has sued the plumber... for about 3 weeks.
Now a new plumber should continue where the old plumber left off.
The developer told me that everything is settled and the plumber will start this week.

Of course, he did not come, and later it turned out that he had not even received an order from the construction company.
I now have a construction delay of 4 months...

My question now: How long can they play with me? Could they theoretically do this for 50 years or is there eventually a limit?

Can I somehow sue against this?

I forgot to sign a huge thing in the construction contract,
Completion date guarantee!!

I don't know what to do anymore and hope for good advice from you

Thanks in advance

Best regards Kevom

I think you might not be able to avoid going to the lawyer.

In any case, I think it is advisable to set deadlines in writing.

Hello, my tip is to first take a deep breath, stay calm, and then talk to the Chamber of Crafts. There are experts there for all cases. It goes without saying that you have to talk to the Chamber of Crafts responsible for the construction company. Any construction company can have a subcontractor go bankrupt, but I don't think it's right to keep a client waiting and putting them off. Only if you don't make progress with the Chamber of Crafts would I get a lawyer involved. Construction companies can sometimes be very "stubborn" when they receive mail from a lawyer and often just ignore it. I'm curious to see how the story continues.

Best regards, CADAMaRa

That sounds very interesting ...
What should I tell the Chamber of Crafts?
Or rather, what can they do?

Hello,

the easiest way is to simply check online which Chamber of Commerce is responsible for your construction contractor. Then, on the Chamber's website, find out who handles building law matters or similar issues. Call that person and explain your problem, as you did here. Then take any advice and implement it. If that doesn't work, then consult a qualified lawyer...

Best regards CADAMaRa:)
