Our construction manager keeps harping on the topic of signed drawings. Whatever is drawn on it is therefore also binding.
Now I wonder, what about things that can be found on it but are not explicitly contractually agreed upon, such as driveway or terrace.
You have to differentiate a bit: the planning also includes areas that belong to the building application so that the authority can see that the floor area ratio is complied with. If a certain paving stone was specified, then perhaps it was to ensure the required infiltration and to document this to the authority.
Since the construction plan is an execution plan for the individual trades, you can't just say, for example, that window x should be twice as big because the window manufacturer might have already placed an order. This might be a poor example, but I hope you understand what I mean.
Of course, it can also happen that a construction manager makes something feasible as long as he sees no problems with its feasibility. But that follows good communication.
That seems to be somewhat disturbed with you… maybe you had too many change requests… at some point the construction manager shuts down with a phrase. Especially if the reasoning is not seen or communicated.
You have to consider yourself what kind of requests they were and how one can come to insist on paving just because the construction manager refers to the plan. That is not objective.
