Why don't construction prices go down?

I don’t want to dispute that with developers either – and I fully agree with you on the applications.

But show me a craftsman without fully booked schedules – that has to be either a pretty unlucky guy or someone who has ruined his reputation over decades.

Here, at least in the long run, it’s still impossible to get a craftsman – starting from excavation work up to roofing. And the fact that prices remain high on that basis is simply supply vs. demand...

But on average across all trades, the costs for the craftsmen are still too high.

And that's where the problem lies: we are of the opinion that the craftsmen are too expensive. I say: craftsmanship must be worthwhile - in the end, you simply won't find anyone who will do the work anymore. What I always find most amusing is when my neighbor complains. He himself works in a senior position in a trivial job that allows him to slack off half the normal working hours, but squeezes every last cent out of craftsmen and then wonders why no one wants to work for him anymore...
