Hello dear forum members,
we are building with a local general contractor. When asking about a light gray exterior facade, an additional charge of 3500€ would apply.
An acquaintance (also in the construction industry) mentioned that such light shades should not incur extra costs.
I would like to hear more experiences and opinions – is this normal or not?
Our scope of work description states the following:
"The mineral-based exterior plaster will be applied as a white fine plaster over a full-surface base coat. To prevent cracking, different types of substrates will be properly reinforced. The surface will be textured with a grain size of 2–3mm (0.08–0.12 inches)."
Thank you and best regards

This isn’t about fairness. He is making you an offer, and you can accept it, but you don’t have to. You have the choice. You could also have the work done by someone else if you want. “Fairness” here implies that you are being taken advantage of, but that is not the case.
Why didn’t you bring this up right at the start during the contract negotiations? Because I was quite naive and thought the house would definitely be painted white...
