Is the price increase for the general contractor after signing due to raw material shortages lawful?

So far he has only hinted at it as a side note.
The bigger problem he described was primarily about procurement and he casually mentioned how we can then solve it financially since no one could have counted on it.
If you Google it afterwards, it seems that the current situation on the German market is indeed very tricky.

Yes, things are pretty heated right now.
However, by the time your construction actually starts, I would also expect the market to calm down.

The construction industry is not per se a sh*** industry - for years, if not decades, craftsmen were driven into bankruptcy. In recent years, the tide has turned and many companies simply do not want to risk going bankrupt, as many have seen in their training company or among the competition.

Yeah... The construction industry is an asshole. Just like the supposed warranty when buying a car. You can sue. And you can also behave like that in all civil law disputes.

And yes, sure... You can say that to the GU. Maybe he swallows it and still does everything really well. Or he's just being a pain on the side. That’s a shot in the dark. And if you’re not affected and don’t bear the risk, it’s easy to give advice.

These are really crazy times right now. We are also in the planning phase and will probably start with the foundation slab in July/August. I recently got a quote for our roof truss. About double what it was just a few months ago. :/

Now we are really considering whether to wait or bite the bullet and order now. It's not just the high prices, but also the long delivery times and sometimes delivery shortages.

Everything is unfortunately getting more expensive right now and you’re definitely feeling some pressure. ;) I hope things ease up a bit in the next few weeks.

and it is foreseeable that it will get better again in the future? You can forget about the old prices anyway, they definitely won't come back ;)
