Hello forum,
we are building a house, a townhouse with a 50cm (20 inches) roof overhang all around. Our standard roof soffits are made of wood. I am worried that due to weather exposure, they will look completely worn out in 10 years.
The construction company is charging an additional 2,300€ for plastic soffits.
Is this justified? I had assumed that plastic would generally be cheaper than wooden soffits.

Osnabruecker13 Aug 2020 13:22For cost estimation of plastic:
We paid a net amount of 1,100 for a house measuring 12 x 9.5 m (39.4 x 31.2 ft).
And that was not an additional charge! Your surcharge is already twice as high.
