Hi,

Is there an entry in VOB B that regulates prices?
I’m pretty sure I read something somewhere that could help with my concern....

I need an entrance door with a side panel. According to the construction contract, I can choose a door for €2500. Unfortunately, the construction company offers one starting at €3150.

Now I have found exactly the same one on the internet for €2500 (the door is very simple, no glass inserts or similar modern front doors).

Do I now have to take the one from the construction company, or does the construction company have to accept my "find" and order the cheaper one?

Hello,



Are you allowed to choose any door for 2,500€, or a door from your construction company's catalog?



Including installation?



Excluding installation?



There is nothing in the VOB about who may sell or install which components at which price.

Regards

1) I have received brochures from the window manufacturer. I am only allowed to order these through the construction company. 2) Including installation? --> No. The door may cost 2500 including VAT. 3) Excluding installation? --> Price for the door including side panel. 4) So the construction company can always sell me the more expensive element? I don't believe that...

Then you are probably out of luck and have to take the standard door or pay extra.

But the standard door costs €3150. He can't just charge over €600 more, can he???

Huh? :confused: Aren't front doors included in the house price? And if so, then he must install a door for you without extra charge.
