Wood price increase - order confirmation already signed

: Correct, as you have stated. We basically have until the construction contract to decide what we will do ourselves and what we won’t. However, everything is listed in terms of price. Theoretically, it would still be possible until then to remove items and do them as self-performance. I don’t know why an additional construction contract is being signed.

The house manufacturer just wanted a commitment from us so that he can firmly schedule the installation date.

According to him, the sample selection is planned for September and the final construction contract, as well as when the walls go into production, in October.

But I also think that we have signed a contract. We already had to bring it signed to the architect in August 2020.

That's how I see it too. The order has been placed, so the contract is concluded.

That sounds quite reassuring.

Well, but in your closed contract it also says "The final construction sum will be determined after completion ..." In my opinion, this reduces all price indications to a "would be nice" statement. To what extent you are still bound by the contract if the previous indications are changed is another matter...

Thank you very much for the many answers. They are enough for now!

Best regards

Could it be that [Werkvertrag] means the [Werkplanung]? Otherwise, I would keep my mouth shut and hope for the best. If something actually comes up, you just sit down together and sort it out. It will be fine.

Yes, work planning :) Thank you...
