Is a high first installment common in a payment plan?

I find it remarkable that many payment steps were placed at the beginning of a service—not at the end or upon successful completion. I would look for an alternative (another construction contractor).

I'm currently laughing a little... the response from the BU will be "next please" It is currently a supplier's market, which means it's take it or leave it

Then just keep rolling. No matter what the market situation is, the customer is king and fortunately there are still competitors in the construction industry...

Nonsense... I am just imagining you as a PM defending your decisions with such arguments: "Sorry boss, the contracts with our suppliers are just bad because it's a supplier's market" ... I could just roll on the floor laughing.

Go ahead... luckily there are two sides, and I sit on the side that acts like the common BU.

Just do a survey on who is building with GU/GÜ/BT this year (so having signed a contract now or in progress since 2016) and ask which points were negotiable. I am curious about the result.

oh yes, and of course your side has no contractors or suppliers. (Warning: Irony) What are you even talking about? Besides, no one says that the BU is "mean." That is completely normal business conduct. This also includes going into negotiations with a payment plan first.

I certainly don’t believe every builder has sufficient negotiation skills, but primarily, what is usually missing is the willingness to negotiate. Many home builders I know didn’t even address the topic before signing.
