Pay or wait? (x-% after completion of building application...)

Hello everyone,

according to the contract with our construction company, we have to pay a certain percentage of the construction sum after completion of the building application.

Now the company prepared the building application a week ago, the documents already looked quite complete. However, two documents were missing and should be submitted to the building authority if they wish:

1) Structural safety certificate (statics)
2) Energy certificate

The question is now legally interesting.
x-percent of the construction sum was agreed upon after completion of the building application.

In my opinion, it is not yet completed if the statics have not even been sent to the building authority.

Furthermore, it is theoretically possible that after the review, the clerk finds more documents missing, right?

What do you think? Am I exaggerating? :-D

I guess you have to pay now, the two components will only be submitted if needed. Detailed structural calculations are (at least in our case) not part of the building notification. The energy calculation is already available with us anyway due to the KfW55 application.

x percent of the construction sum was agreed upon after the completion of the building application.

In my opinion, the building application is finished. I see it like Mottenhausen. The work was done and should also be paid for.

All right, thanks for the feedback!

Just wanted to be sure :-).
