The stair builder drilled into the conduit

2019-07-17 05:08:17

Hello everyone,
we just built and when installing the staircase that came on the day of the inspection, the stair builders drilled into a conduit in the hallway. As a result, we had no power in that area. Now the electrician allegedly told the stair builders during the repair that he had made a mistake. But now both companies want us to pay for their expenses, even though we have almost nothing to do with it. What can we do about it? Has anyone ever had such a case?
Best regards

The stair builder must repair the damage caused and will receive his payment for the stairs. If the electrician has made a mistake, he should please fix it at his own expense.

As Domski wrote. The party responsible (stair builder) has to pay for the damage. If the electrician messed up, he has to fix it free of charge. So don't let yourself be fooled. It's outrageous how the two companies are acting.

Hello everyone, we just finished building and when the staircase was installed, which was on the day of the acceptance, the stair builders drilled into a pipe in the hallway. Because of that, we had no electricity in that area. Now the electrician supposedly told the stair builders during the repair that he made a mistake. But now both companies want us to pay for their effort, even though we hardly have anything to do with it. What can we do about this? Has anyone had such a case before? Best regards Anno1983

True to the motto: "You might as well try! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯" Otherwise, everything has been said; the electrician apparently already admitted his mistake. All the more grotesque is the attempt to shift the costs onto the customer. Whoever has to pay should be settled between the stair builders and the electrician - you can kindly but firmly give them the tip that it definitely won’t be you.

An acceptance on your part has not yet taken place, therefore it is not your problem...

The acceptance took place with defects, including this one. But now the construction company is trying to pass it on to us. I will forward this to the electrician. And as Domski says, they should settle it among themselves.
