Hello!
I had the landscaping contractor on site, and he told me to make sure that the general contractor leaves the construction site clean. He even said that if cigarette butts are left on the property afterwards, he would charge for waste disposal by subcontractors. Is that normal?
The general contractor, of course, says that he is not responsible for picking up his workers’ cigarette butts and considers small Poroton crumbs as acceptable residue left on the site. Now I’m not sure where exactly the line is—what does the general contractor have to do and what not? It’s actually quite simple: if I know what he is required to do, I can formally ask him to fully clean the property upon completing his work and report back to me. Then I can photograph any remaining debris, set a deadline for cleanup, and refer to deductions from the final payment if necessary.
Another point of discussion will definitely be all the “small” plaster residues in the bushes, etc.
How was it on your construction sites? The contract says nothing about this... sometimes you read about the interior being handed over “broom clean” — but I cannot find any similar term for final site condition outdoors and don’t know what is generally expected there.

So, some people here must really be bored.
If it annoys me that tradespeople don’t clean up their mess, it’s my right to say so, and that should be the end of it.
I’d rather not comment on the refugee issue.
However, anyone who seriously claims that voting green is worse than the AfD, I’d prefer to keep my distance from.

I also find the original question completely pointless, unnecessary, and detached from reality, but your comment is really unnecessary... True, sorry... we should rather address the window tilt issue. That is definitely not detached from reality.

I experienced the Greens yesterday evening at a parent meeting. Catholic German daycare center. We could translate into Arabic, English, and Turkish. Bring gummy bears for a birthday? No, not healthy, they contain animal fats. Our Muslim children aren’t allowed to eat that either. Catholic daycare. Understood. Now the problem escalates.O

Yes, we should also consider the Chinese children. It’s discriminatory that they are not allowed to bring dog meat patties for their birthday simply because some old-fashioned parents forbid German children from eating dog. I just don’t want to deal with the eating habits of other cultures in Germany. Or do they consider serving only fish on Fridays in a Catholic daycare? We will all end up in the cave, not in God, uh, Allah.
