ᐅ Received letter from BG Bau (builder information)

Good evening everyone,

Today we received a letter from the BG Bau regarding the builder information form.

They ask us to provide our details and list which trades will be carried out by construction helpers.

We are building with a general contractor. As I understand it, can I simply provide the contact details of the GC for each trade? It’s difficult for me to know which subcontractors the GC will specifically hire for the various trades.

The only exception is the painting work, which we will be doing ourselves, where I will select “builder.”

Payment is only required for helper hours not performed by companies or the builders themselves.

I would be especially interested in feedback from users who, like us, have built or plan to build with a GC and without external help.

As you described, that is correct. Write as little as possible, specify the general contractor, and the rest is not your responsibility. Do not mention friends or relatives either.

Good evening,

And you are liable for any possible accidents or delayed damage?

As mentioned at the beginning, friends and acquaintances do not assist with construction work here.

Hello,

we received this letter three weeks ago as well.

Since we are having our house built turnkey and only my wife and I will carry out minimal work ourselves (laminate flooring in one basement room), we only listed our construction company everywhere.

I sent the form back by email the next day, and there has been no further contact since then.

Regards,

Dirk

That’s exactly how I did it on Saturday as well.

Still, thank you for your feedback.
