Our construction company believes that we should not be painting inside our house or installing flooring before the final inspection. If we do so anyway (with their permission), they do not take responsibility for any damage caused by third parties. This is understandable, as dirty wallpaper and floors would then be our problem. However, they want to hold an open house two days before the final inspection and allow anyone to enter without any supervision.
The fact is that it is easier to work on the walls before interior doors and switches are installed. Naturally, they do not want to take liability for this. I cannot imagine that this is allowed...

... on what legal basis can he forbid me from laying the floor in my own house ...Because the house probably – check your contract – only becomes YOUR house upon defect-free handover or simple acceptance 😉Regards, Bauexperte

At the time of signing, it was not foreseeable that he would take such actions with completed houses. We addressed this directly with him, and he (the managing director) said that these were just shell inspections with individual prospective buyers. Then contact him about it again.
Tell him that you are happy to show your house to individual prospective buyers (perhaps even after you have moved in) and to share your experiences. But also make it very clear that you do not want an open house day in your home, and that this was not agreed upon.

Hello Dirk,
Oh please – who, at least someone with a reasonably sound mind, would let countless people walk through a nearly finished house when they are liable for any damages caused during the visit? Why do you think your provider warned you about this before the painter and flooring work?
We also use the shell construction phase and sometimes walk through the house again with selected interested parties shortly before handover. But at that point, there is no one present whom we would worry might track even a single stone inside on their shoe.
I can’t shake the impression that the good “Payday” just wants to stir things up a bit among the users.
Regards, BauexperteHello,
Unfortunately, I have experienced this repeatedly with a very reputable concrete or masonry builder in our area.
However, there, bathrooms and partly kitchens are locked off so nothing gets “tested to destruction.”
But damages still occurred – up to a staircase railing torn out of the wall...
Therefore, for me, the inspection in the “shell condition” was also the better option...
Regards,
Dirk

But there were indeed damages – all the way up to the stair railing being pulled out of the wall...

Doc.Schnaggls19 Jun 2015 18:38Yes, I was also more than shocked that something like this can happen.
This was also one reason for us to agree to an inspection only during the shell construction phase, which in any case was the only option for our provider.

Dirk
