As I said, banker
I screwed the 130cm vanity cabinet on by myself, took about 2 hours.
Why do you need countless diamond drill bits for an estimated <10 holes???
For the toilet, of course the pipes have to be cut to the right size. But precise "dimensioning" should pose no problem for a mechanical engineer.
Screwing the toilet itself to the wall is done in max. 1 hour afterwards.
As I said, except for the bathtub, which is very unwieldy and has to be aligned on a possibly not quite level raw floor and also needs to be sealed to the wall, etc., I see no unsolvable tasks...

If you take washbasins a bit more broadly, then of course the OP.
That at least makes up the biggest chunk of the additional cost list.

Good thing we're talking about this

Then my suggestion would be that the installer is commissioned with the "warranty-intensive" services like toilet, tub, and shower, and the damn expensive washbasin (unimaginable to me, that price, what kind of material is behind it? Can't it be done cheaper, without Keuco?) is taken out of the scope of services.

And then I wish you lots of fun drilling and mounting the mirror

What is everyone's problem with drilling? Do you have porcelain floor tiles on the wall? "Normal" tiles can be drilled quite easily and slowly. And even if a tiny corner chips off, you can't see it behind the cabinet or mirror anyway, or does the damn expensive cabinet and mirror get replaced after 2 years so that you could see the holes then?

I don't know if this is generally how it's done, but I always kept the tiles or the drill bit slightly moist and then drilled with little pressure. I found it more difficult to drill the holes for the sockets in the last apartment.

Keeping it moist is only for cooling, so that the drill bit does not "glow." However, even here, with a few holes through regular tiles, a drill bit should be able to handle it; porcelain stoneware, on the other hand, is almost impossible to drill this way...
