unser Haus5 Jun 2013 12:34Here I am again with a new problem.
We want to install a Frisian door and have found a carpenter to build it since our general contractor’s carpenter does not offer this door in their range. The carpenter (general contractor) has now informed us that he will not install this door because we did not purchase it from him. The carpenter building the Frisian door ships his doors all over Germany, and no one else has had any issues.
The same applies to the plumbing company. They do not even want to install the pipes if we do not buy the sanitary fixtures from them. I see this as coercion. The price difference for the sanitary fixtures is about 4,000€ (approximately $4,200).
Is there a legal basis for this? Installation or refusal; warranty service.

I also know it this way: the general contractor is not obligated to install parts that were not purchased from them. This also applies in other areas, for example with kitchen manufacturers who do not install third-party appliances.
You can either find a local carpenter to install the door (which will also incur a cost) or install it yourself.

What you’re planning is quite questionable!
You want the security of a general contractor but actually intend to order materials externally; I wouldn’t accept that if I were in their position either. The contractor’s estimate is a mixed calculation; if one item is removed, the whole financial balance no longer works out.
Regards, Bauexperte

Nothing more needs to be said about that.

I can somewhat understand the calculation. But, for example, if I buy a urinal through BU, it costs €343.82 (approximately $371.00), yet if I have it removed, I am only credited €130.00 (approximately $140.00).
Best regards from the Ruhr area

Best regards from the Ruhr areaWell, then it probably doesn’t make that much sense to you after all?!
You read the contract before signing it. Either you make changes before signing or you accept it.
