One must not forget that although everyone (generally speaking) complains about the general contractor and the trades, almost everything is countersigned by the builder himself and must also be checked by him. Turnkey delivery does not protect against stupidity. :cool:
Sure, because every layman just understands what he signs ... irony off.
We had this topic before, I am still of the opinion that I go to the general contractor just like I go to the doctor. These are complex trades for which you need years of experience or a degree. My expectation is that they know better than I do because they have done it 100 times and I never have.
I am always shocked at how much the judiciary leaves you on your own ... For example, if you are sued because you did not pay an invoice in full due to a defect, the procedure will establish that there is a defect and the invoice does not have to be paid. If the defect is greater than the amount withheld and this is determined in the procedure, this amount is not immediately claimed by the plaintiff. No, you have to file a separate lawsuit for that again.
And all these deadline extensions that were mentioned in the post should be banned .....
The general contractor is better off than the builder who cannot move into his house .... and lets time work for him ....
