Good day to all forum readers and experts.
I have a small issue that I hope will be resolved soon. I signed a construction contract accompanied by an expert. It was agreed that the detailed construction planning (execution planning) is included. (We are building on our own land with a general contractor, and the building permit / planning permission was submitted two weeks ago).
The contract states: "The contractor creates a detailed construction plan for internal quality assurance. This is included in the price."
Now, we have received a confirmation of the construction contract by registered mail stating: "No detailed construction plan will be created."
Our expert is currently on vacation, and I have initially asked the house seller for clarification by email this morning. I am looking forward to a response.
I can only explain it by assuming that the detailed construction plan is indeed created but not handed over to me. Or is it usually handled differently?
I hope to receive tips and answers here.

Hello... yesterday we attended the material selection appointment with the homebuilding company and had the opportunity to discuss the topic of detailed construction planning.
First, regarding the contract:
It has been accepted (although with the language pitfall of “detailed construction planning” instead of “working drawings”). The wording in the letter:
Acceptance of Building Contract
Dear Mrs... Dear Mr....
...We are pleased that you have chosen this house and hereby accept your building contract.
For the sake of order and completeness, we provide you with some additional information.
In particular, we have accepted:
...no detailed construction planning will be prepared...
The topic of detailed construction planning was then explained during the conversation, and we were shown current working drawings from ongoing projects. These are in a scale of 1:75 and appear to be very detailed.
We have requested a copy of these to forward to an expert for review to determine if this is sufficient.
According to the building company, they have worked exclusively with this scale for 15 years (allegedly no construction supervisors have ever raised concerns) and the 1:50 scale would only be used for larger projects or public buildings.
I am now waiting for this copy and will keep you updated.....
