Hello,

our shell construction has been completed since December and the windows are only fitted with film windows. Since we have a flat roof, there is the possibility to later convert the attic. Therefore, the ceiling above the staircase has been closed with a wooden construction. The vapor barrier and the flat roof have been completed.

No interior walls and nothing plastered yet. For 2 months, water stood in the basement 5 cm high. Because the windows are covered with film, there was heavy condensation inside in December and January. Now I have noticed that mold spores are forming on the roof hatch. Just yesterday, the 2nd installment invoice came in, which should be paid within the next 10 days. It is 150,000 euros after all. The first payment was 140,000 euros (there are 7 in total).

Can I now deduct something from the invoice amount and demand that the defect be fixed before I pay? We are building turnkey. Should I get an external expert? What do you think?

At my neighbor’s, a semi-detached house, the mold infestation is even worse...

Thanks for your help.

Sorry for the OT:
You pay €290,000 for a shell that is not even closed (no windows installed)?

What is the total volume? €800,000?

If not, then the numbers are completely disproportionate.

You should involve an external expert for such an investment anyway. For example, take a look at [Bauherren-Schutzbund].

The plot of land alone already cost 145,000 and is included in the 290,000.
So not that bad, right?
