Well, you can summarize: The construction industry is a shitty industry where obviously idiots work primarily. I mean, here in this country it’s sometimes regulated down to the exact day when who has to sweep the stairwell, where which dog is allowed to poop and where not. But in the construction industry, contracts simply have more of an orientation character. If the gang doesn’t like it, they just don’t show up anymore, sue you until doomsday or file for insolvency.
If I were , I would clearly tell the good gentleman GU that this is his entrepreneurial risk and a contractual adjustment is not foreseen. Period, end of story. I mean, where does it start and where does it end? Fluctuations in the building materials market have existed since construction began. Sometimes also with bigger outliers.
How about the other way around?
has to go into short-time work because of corona, now the payment is tight. Yes, then the GU should kindly just adjust his prices down accordingly. It’s exactly the same, simply ridiculous.
If the guy were an honest businessman, he would chalk it up to bad luck and that’s it. To be precise, if the personal situation allows it somehow, I would even slam the contract in the guy’s face and tell him to build with some other idiot.
Yes, he will surely find enough, but only because everyone lets it happen to themselves.
Alright, enough getting worked up, I’ll grab myself a beer.
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.
