Price increase - Our construction company wants 21.4% more

Wow, that is really intense. I wish you lots of strength to get through it.

But I don’t understand why it is being demanded at this absurdly high level.

Our main contractor speaks of 5% and the neighbor’s carpenter hasn’t had any price problems for his timber frame construction because he has had wood in stock for over a year. The few pipes don’t really make much difference.

The production costs of a house include a significant amount of labor costs. As far as I know, there have been NO increases in the relevant industries. I recently read that, for example, the wage negotiations in the construction industry were postponed.

You have posted links again in #32. In your next life here choose something similar to Pinkyponki or so, then everyone will know right away. By the way, there is a moderated subforum here where you are allowed to mention your BU as well :)

I had already done that once because of exactly this GU. However, the post was never published online even though it was very moderate and openly formulated.

Since some things sound familiar to me, the GC doesn't start with K... does it?

I have also heard of such a case in my circle of acquaintances. GC with K....

The 0.6% only applies for 6 months. After that, it is added on top of the then prevailing price level. We actually seem to be in the same boat...

The 6 months are not over yet, so irrelevant at the current time; the price commitment was until 30.06.21. That means currently a surcharge of 1.8% would be in accordance with the contract. Or where is the thinking error?

The cellar and house appointment will require at least another 3 months, so the new prices for these and other services will then apply.

Our sample selection was in January. There is still nothing to see of the house...
