I had the constant upgrade requests because they didn’t manage to plan a complete house for me before signing the contract.
Sorry, but you didn’t have to sign yet. You can’t really talk your way out of it.
As for the technical part, I guess no one can say much here because the topics are only briefly touched on/have been touched on.
The general contractor is putting his subcontractors on me. Nothing is peaceful here anymore.
What are they doing? Chasing you? Biting? Honestly, I have to think of the joke about the highway.
Radio: On the highway there is a wrong-way driver.
Driver: One? Several!
Sometimes you are the problem yourself. And you can tell quite well if _everyone_ thinks the others are making mistakes. The likelihood that _everyone_ is somehow not quite right is very, very low. And I have never heard of a SUB siding with the GC. Usually they are like fire and water but dependent on each other, a so-called love-hate relationship.
As already said: building a house is always stressful! And there are no powder puffs from the contractor. But that doesn’t mean many things can’t run correctly and normally. Many have an exaggerated idea of how building a house will go (colorful advertising, tidy construction sites, polished construction vehicles, and in the end you receive the golden key to the turnkey house) – maybe you are one of those?
I also don’t know whether you really understand what you are writing here yourself:
We have at least 2 defects in the window area where even my construction supervisor says it won’t be easy to insist on this from the construction company.
To me that means: you see a defect, the construction supervisor rather doesn’t. But you make out that the construction company is causing trouble and not admitting something. From how it reads here, I rather think you have to admit to yourself that it simply is not a defect.
And as already said: relying on your crystal ball and thinking you know better beforehand often doesn’t make life easier, especially if you don’t look properly.
