We didn’t have that "discussion" at all. It was about the stair railings for us. The offer now states

Note:
- Continuous railing bars are not permitted by building regulations – due to the ladder effect.
- Bar spacing > 12 cm is not permitted by building regulations.
We hereby have fulfilled our duty to advise.
Please understand that we exclude any liability for personal and property damage resulting from this.


Whether this is legally watertight for the provider – I can’t judge.

And if someone really objects, I’ll screw a plexiglass panel in front until things calm down again. As long as you’re not running or renting out a daycare.. no big deal. There is always a risk.

You can do many things in your own house. But if the entrepreneur raises concerns, the liability is 100% on you.

You will not find a specialist company that will build the railing for you like that.

Unfortunately, there are plenty of such things circulating on the internet that are not compliant with regulations in Germany.

If it absolutely has to be, then have an alternative with plexiglass cladding offered to you. You can then either accept it or not. But as I said, I would not take the risk.

Make vertical bars every 12 cm and that’s fine.

Hi , I think something was misunderstood here, there is no reason to apologize, I’m the kind of person who likes to nod his head, take notes, and then speak up when he is 100% sure. Same with this topic, I took it on board and am currently getting informed... I don’t even need to address the topic anymore, at least not with him. I will discuss a different railing directly with the project manager and that will be that. Thanks to the answers here, I already found another one that complies with the state building code, not exactly what we had in mind, but not so bad either...

The other points still need to be addressed, for example a siphon of a split air-conditioning unit, which in his opinion is not necessary, an under-roof sealing that is not needed on our 10° roof, a suddenly appearing waiver of warranty regarding the black guide rails of the exterior blinds, and much more... But the best was a recommendation from the structural engineer that he gave us (I almost left the building then). To want to install a steel beam, really completely from east to west under the ceiling on the upper floor, running through several rooms. Luckily, that resolved itself during the conversation, but as a rather quiet guy I almost exploded (internally I still have), just the idea alone is not from this world...

So we keep fighting through and hope for a calm settlement on all points, as I already said, I’m not sure if it will work without a lawyer...

You haven't been here for a while, otherwise you could tell sky-blue from sky-blue. But that's also logical, as we are almost far away from the main roads, and yet so close. Almost perfect, really. In the village - recently also with a sky-blue house, and even from the wooden house provider with S.
