Hello,
we are currently building together with a larger company. We signed the contract for work in September last year, that is before the Ukraine war and the resulting price increases. At that time, we agreed on a fixed price, which is still valid.
However, now we are supposed to pay a surcharge due to exploding prices. We have tried several times to call the company and ask if this does not contradict the fixed price agreement. Call-backs were promised but did not happen. Instead, we eventually received an email referring us to the new offer. But that was exactly why we needed and still need to talk.
Even after another request for a callback, we only received a two-line reply stating that there is no contradiction.
In any case, no corresponding explanation, just the one sentence – meaning: due to the price increases, the contract amendment (i.e. the fixed price agreement) is agreed upon and this comes into effect automatically with the start of construction.
Has anyone had similar experiences? And how did you deal with it?
