Purchase despite meager construction description

Is something like this common? The construction description of my condominium is over 50 pages long

A good exercise would be if you compare it point by point with the new scope of services. For example, you quoted the windows. What additional content points would you have expected?

Our construction performance specification is 30 pages long, but also contains many descriptions and, for example, a picture of the stairs. If you summarize it briefly and concisely, it would certainly also fit on 15 pages. Here quality clearly takes precedence over quantity.

I would just read the construction performance specification in detail and really question every point mentally. If something is unclear to you, then I would write it down and discuss it with the general contractor. And then you can still decide what else should be included and what not. Additionally, think about what is in the plans and what might still be missing in the construction performance specification. For example, in our case the porch was in the drawings but not a single sentence in the construction performance specification. So we had the execution, the material, etc. added there.

In case of doubt, there is the option to have the construction performance specification checked by an expert. They can then tell you exactly what, from their point of view, is good, what should be changed, and what is still missing. We once asked one, who wanted about 400 euros for checking the construction performance specification – just as a rough guideline.

I am also currently having the construction performance description checked, this will take about 2 hours in the meeting. I am happy to pay the money.

I have heard this tip many times and gladly accept it.

There is also something where installation/assembly is stated according to the general rules of technology and in another construction service description the general rules of technology are then spelled out there. That alone can already multiply the required scope by ten...

and in another scope of work description, the general rules of technology are then spelled out there.

I want to summarize it in two simple points: 1. A general contractor or specialist contractor, with whom one can collaborate in the handshake manner beloved by and me, doesn’t babble operas in the scope of work description either. 2. Similarities between the verbosity of the scope of work description and that of excuses in case of complaints are unfortunately neither made up nor often accidental. A scope of work description is never a guarantee of success. The one from the general contractor of he had emailed me at the time and it was presumably also thoroughly read by several other second opinion providers – that did not prevent the wisdom "the first house is built for an enemy" from being exemplarily evaluated. Incidentally, especially shady building partners are not reticent to gather the most trustworthy quality poems from the infinite expanses of the internet.
