Hello 🙂
*Offtopic*
Our house will be move-in ready by June 1st. Since we went for a turnkey build and I usually work during regular construction hours when the contractors are on site, I didn’t always have the chance to check everything myself.
As we are eagerly anticipating moving in and the garage was delivered today, I took the afternoon off to watch the process in person (narrow street, 9 meters (30 feet) garage – impressive how a truck maneuvers in such tight space 🙂 ).
*End of Offtopic*
I used the surveying time to walk through all the rooms and noticed that the double RJ45 sockets (2 outlets) were unfortunately not fully installed. Only single sockets were delivered here. The electrical selection only specified one socket, but I interpreted this to mean that the double outlets didn’t need to be documented separately. (I don’t build a house every day!)
The site manager confirmed the issue and admitted he forgot to inform the electrician that double sockets were ordered. Since the network cables can no longer be pulled in, this defect remains unresolved.
For 5 double network sockets with connection points including the distribution panel (which costs less than 20€), we were charged 800€.
What do you think is a reasonable compensation given that this defect can no longer be corrected? The double sockets serve a specific purpose.
Why am I even asking: We had the washbasin including the mixer tap (Grohe Eurosmart Cosmopolitan) removed from the contract and were told we would receive a credit of 88€. In my opinion, this does not reflect the material and labor costs.
I know I can’t expect to get rich 🙂
Thank you very much and have a great weekend 🙂

If Cat6 cables have been installed, you could connect to 2x100 Mbps.
This credit for the sink is really a joke; alternatively, have it installed and sell it :-)
For two bathrooms, we left out all the fixtures, sinks, and toilets because we didn’t like them, and we were credited 4000 Euros for that.

The credit confirmation only arrived today—the site manager has been informed. Let’s see what he has to say about it, since the billing is handled by a different person. In my opinion, the installation alone takes about an hour—what does a craftsman’s hour cost these days?
There’s a good reason why they install Cat7 cables twice. I work in the industry myself and everything has its purpose—you don’t build a house for just 10 years, but for a lifetime. Who knows what tomorrow will bring. After all, there is a 100Mbit connection from the provider—an upgrade is currently not out of the question 🙂

The credit for 1x CAT cable instead of 2 should cover the full cost of the LAN installation. You can then buy a switch and connect as many devices as you need where required. It is rather unlikely that you need 2x 1000Mbps connections in one room. Normally, multiple devices can share the same connection.
PS: Even if you are working while others are working as well, you can easily check after work what has been done. Especially your argument that you are building for the long term clearly supports the idea of carefully reviewing the work. Not noticing the wrong cables after several months, despite being an "industry-experienced" person, is quite a significant mistake on your part.
