Hello,
We are building a single-family house with a developer. Yesterday, we noticed two quite large damages on the exterior facade. However, the site manager denies any responsibility and claims the damage must have been caused by an external company that carried out underground utility installation work. They want us to request these companies (Avacon, Telekom, etc.) to repair the damage.
Of course, the damage could just as well have been caused by a company hired by the developer, but I obviously have no way of proving that.
Nevertheless, the developer is obligated to deliver the house free of defects, right? Or am I stuck paying for the damage repairs myself?
