Hello everyone,
we are having a standard house (formerly kfw70 standard) built without a basement.
After endless disputes with the site manager, he was replaced, and the new site manager discovered that the perimeter insulation was forgotten.
We are now completely uncertain whether our build can still be saved, as demolition has even been mentioned...
It is now being investigated whether this insulation can be installed retroactively on the foundation slab.
Does anyone here have solid experience with this and can offer advice on how we should proceed? Should we agree to retrofitting the insulation, or is that not viable at all?

There is now talk of the construction company (a limited liability company) going bankrupt... Then shift your focus away from the construction defects and seek advice more regarding contract termination. A ruined building (and with an insolvent warranty provider, that can happen even if the workmanship just barely passed inspection) should not be yours, even if you’ve memorized its floor plan by heart. There are plenty of other plots with attractive options.

Other plots also have attractive options Sorry, I think I didn’t explain this 100% clearly: the plot already belongs to us (purchased from the municipality). We only commissioned the company to build a turnkey single-family house.

It’s partly hard to follow in this thread exactly who is the problem - that there is a problem is clear enough ... Unfortunately, the situation is no clearer for us than it is for you. For us, it is definitely clear that - there are serious defects in the construction
- the construction period is extremely prolonged (construction started on March 22nd, after delays caused by failing to arrange a contractor in time. Now there is only a botched ground floor without a ceiling)
- services were not provided (construction power, insulation, inspections and measurements, site management tasks were not carried out)
- communication with the contractor has been poor/terrible (with the new site manager it has been better for about 1 month, but still not good)

His partner is the developer, not the subcontractor, so why should he be able or want to cancel the contract? We have also thought about that, because the site manager keeps telling us that there are no available companies right now who can do the work, which to me is a no-go. They present it as if this were normal, which in my opinion is completely unacceptable. If I accept a contract, then I’m expected to fulfill it...jeti79 schrieb:
If I accept a contract, I am able to fulfill it... Exactly. As a general contractor, you basically need "reserved slots" in the subcontractors’ schedules; otherwise, it won’t work.

Caspar20204 Jul 2017 09:23At the moment, sites tend to be overbooked. Someone else will likely cause delays anyway.
Among acquaintances, the tiler had 10 days for the construction site. Then he left. The last 3 granite slabs in the living room now have to be installed by someone else.
And inevitably, the single-family house gets neglected when there are larger projects or buildings to tile.
