Hello everyone,
Is the removal of a temporary construction road normally included in a shell construction contract or excavation work?
Background: I hired a construction company to carry out the shell construction for my extension with a basement. For the excavation, the construction company subcontracted another company, which I later paid directly (not through the construction company). A temporary construction road was necessary for the shell construction/excavation. Now I’m being told that the removal of this construction road was not part of the offer and, if at all, would need to be separately commissioned and paid for.
My question is: How is this usually handled? To me, this would be like a plasterer leaving their tape and protective sheets inside the house after finishing their work and leaving the removal to the homeowner because it wasn’t explicitly included in the contract.
Looking forward to your answers.
Thanks in advance and best regards,
F.

If I didn’t need help, I probably wouldn’t have made a forum post. But I don’t see how I could be helped beyond an answer here.That is certainly possible; however, you are a hopeless case. How many times have you now been directly or indirectly asked to provide the exact wording of the contract? Ten times?
Based on your consistent refusal to answer this simple question satisfactorily, I assume the developer is completely in the right and the road will remain as it is. This assumption stands until proven otherwise. I’m out.
