Refusal of building acceptance due to outstanding work?

because you are only allowed to move in once the house is registered as completed with the building authority, and you can only do that once it has been accepted.

and because, depending on the situation, you may not be allowed to move in, as you possibly do not have the right of residence.

especially since moving in is effectively equivalent to a (defect-free) acceptance.

if you build according to VOB, the following trade must report defects. if the following trade simply starts working, the previous trade is considered accepted as defect-free. are you already painting? maybe the plastering work has then already been tacitly accepted as defect-free.

Hmm..yes, I have thought about something like that too. If they refuse to move me in, of course that's also bad. Yes, we do paint. But I wouldn't have thought that the plastering work would then be considered free of defects.

500 euros? I’m really laughing myself to death. A craftsman won’t get up for that. With such small stuff, you’re already losing that amount on the trip, not to mention no one will come for that before 2022. Minimum keep back 3 grand, better 5.

the question is what is stated in your contract, whether you have reported the defect in writing, whether you are building according to the Building Code or VOB...

I still don’t understand.
It must have been clear where and how the windows were supposed to go?
Were they installed that way and then changed afterwards, or were they installed differently and therefore changed again?
