The Contractors : friend or enemy?
very clear: The contractor is your friend! This is true in my experience to the vast majority of companies! During the construction phase it will become your family!
The construction phase usually takes a long time, even if one starts from a normal family house project. There is the exploratory phase, initial offers are exchanged, one phone call, meets. It is not uncommon to pass from the first meeting to address the small problems last 1-2 years. You will see your building partner in that time more often than your closest family members. He will be a guest at your family events that occur at least as long as no serious problems.
you both have the same objective: to make money! Your Contractors possible in cash and in the form of a secure retirement or a worthwhile investment! And you know both: Only together this target will be reached! So are some basics that both parties strive construction projects carried out in harmony. Minor problems are usually solved accommodating.
How used these tricks?
My description of the employed different tricks in two categories: conscious and unconscious being applied.
former by your contractor applied specifically to gain a pecuniary benefit or other advantage, whether warranties, disclaimers of "surreptitiously" and so on. You play with your ignorance or deliberately pasted you the objective view by high-sounding phrases or contract impressive certificates.
The unconscious tricks generally result from their own ignorance by legal or technical rules of the respective construction company. Since it is allowed, in principle, each craftsman, architect or building cleaning its own "home product" to offer, here is a particular threat given.
crucial factor is that both variants, only a RESULT - they cost money!
perfectly legal tricks?
A very clear: Yes!
But thanks to our diverse and has some overlapping with German standards in the construction of the building contractors considerable room for his contract. It may be based, for example, in the indication of living space on two existing standards for the calculation. Whether he chooses the most favorable of the method - now let us surprise you.
There is also considerable scope within the standards in the application. But the DIN-term: "State-of-the art" is like chewing gum and is often to the detriment ignorant of the little house builder strained.
alone, the mere omission of information, including a popular stunt cost to you, dear reader, and home builder, lots of money! Thus you can tell the builder that the property is ok, because he has already created for the land adjacent extensive ground survey - he has not conceded and again.
How do I avoid legal tricks?
First and foremost: Keep your cool! Even the most reputable companies want one thing: getting a good deal. And that means gain. You can also make a good business without the client to take advantage, but the border is narrow and is quickly exceeded. In particular, avoid quick fixes: accounts at trade fairs, visits or days in the first conversation you should avoid. Professional contractors will have the time to examine all alone and read.
Find yourself: Find out the quickest on the Internet, on alternatives, prices and relevant regulations. It has never been so simple and transparent as to find in-depth information on all possible topics.
Keep your budget plan one! Make sure before him, based on your financial concept. Then you will know quickly whether you travel for any "necessary" have more power or supposedly "cheap" options.
And another thing: There is only one way in the construction to be 100% secure: Do not build
!
all guides, experts, and checklists you will not protect against problems and shortcomings - that is a structure too complex. Finally, you buy a piece of bread!
But you can isolate the potential sources of error and reduce to a minimum.
And this blog is to help you!
