Hello everyone,
the construction of our single-family house is in full swing. Now our construction company has suddenly demanded an additional charge.
A wooden staircase was included in the construction contract. During the planning phase, we switched to a concrete staircase. Without covering and railing, we were shown a credit of €1145 as an additional offer. We confirmed the additional offer and it sounded plausible to us.
Now our construction company wrote to us that the calculation was wrong and additional costs of €1200 will arise instead of a credit of €1145.
The staircase has certainly already been ordered, but not yet installed.
How would you deal with this? For us, such a subsequent demand is not acceptable. However, we also do not want the money to be recovered elsewhere through non-transparent additional charges.
Thank you very much for your help!
