Several troubling contract clauses

At the Bauherren-Schutzbund, you won’t exactly be advised by psychologists in their internship year either, and the lawyers there certainly come into contact with construction matters more than the average "general practitioner" lawyer. I estimate it varies from case to case where you are better served professionally.

Now you made me chuckle with the psychologists in their internship year... And you’re probably right. They do this day in, day out.

So the company does not come directly from Burgwedel. Did you have a good experience with your company?

My construction company was and is a general contractor like others. With all the advantages and disadvantages. Listing or discussing the pros and cons of general contractors here would go beyond your thread, there are plenty of topics of that kind.
We would build with them again – now with several years of forum experience as gained wisdom :)

If you need help or advice later or during the construction, feel free to get in touch.
I also work and live in the Hannover region -

Best regards and good luck :)

Very gladly. It is all somehow a bit overwhelming after all.

A regularly updated standard contract should basically fit even without changes and then be sufficiently individually refined with only a handful of modifications.

The standard contract was not up to date, and most of our changes have been incorporated into the new standard contract,
as we saw with .
This is a family-owned general contractor,
whose very high-quality expertise lies in the construction industry and not in construction law.

With the Bauherren-Schutzbund, it is possible to commission a specialist lawyer to review the contract. The membership enables discounted conditions, but it should also be clear here that you won't get something like this for 100€. We had it done and it was worth it. Our general contractor addressed some, though not all, points that were criticized by the lawyer. Strictly speaking, some things stated there could be challenged in court because they are simply contrary to the Building Code. But even there, our lawyer said that in view of the market situation, there will be bitter pills to swallow.
