Tell me more details of the contract! Contract for work? Developer contract (probably not)?
Interesting, I just noticed, in our contract it says:
Note the difference (is there one?) between "after" and "for". (Note: So far I have not paid anything yet, we are not that far along ...)
Interesting, I just noticed, in our contract it says:
28% after completion of the shell including carpentry work
5.6% for the construction of the roof surfaces and gutters
Note the difference (is there one?) between "after" and "for". (Note: So far I have not paid anything yet, we are not that far along ...)

In our construction (however, individual trades) there were no discussions. Down payment yes (e.g. for the windows, as these were made specifically for us), full payment only after the service is rendered. I would not accept anything else either. Especially in the construction industry, I would be more than cautious;)

I wouldn't agree to something like that. That's practically prepaid. At most, a check handover upon delivery. This procedure is very unusual and would make me suspicious...

Hello everyone,
thank you very much for all the responses.
The contract does not specify exactly whether it is according to the Building Code or VOB. I assume that it is then the Building Code.
In our individual calculation, there is always a distinction between material and assembly. However, in the payment schedule, there is no longer any distinction; it simply lists amounts and topics (e.g. windows, shell components, shell acceptance, etc.)
The provider told me that companies sometimes only start working when the money is in the account (which seems even stranger to me). After delivery and service, he could also do it then, but he would get worse prices; however, since I have a fixed price, that is actually not my problem.
Since I am strongly dependent on the provider and I do not want to jeopardize the further relationship as the construction progress might possibly be at risk, I am in a kind of dilemma...
Nevertheless, I certainly will not simply pay any amount greater than 20k in advance.
Best regards
