Hello,
can anyone maybe shed some light on this?
I've already heard from two companies that they cannot provide a quote for installing the washbasins we supplied ourselves because they are not allowed to install them dürfen. Even our plumber, who is handling the rest of the house installations, said he is not allowed to do it. Then I asked a carpentry company installing our staircase, and they also say they are not allowed to do it. I am also not receiving any offers or inquiries from my request for quotes on MyHammer.
I'm missing a piece of the puzzle here to understand. Why exactly is no one allowed to do this?

If the general contractor (GC) budgets €500 (about $540) for a washbasin and then only credits you €200 (about $215) when removing it, they have still made their profit. I have the plumbing list with the exact products. On site, the prices are shown on the tags... To be honest: if they were only to deduct half of the cost for me, I would never build with such a GC.
They might as well deny everything completely. But then that would be a total rip-off...

But it really has to be something special, like a designer bathtub. Mine accepted that for a lead crystal washbasin.

Then you won’t have a general contractor left who will build a house for youIf he won’t do it – then that’s just how it is. It’s worth trying, as you might be able to save a few more percent elsewhere as well.
But only calculating half for me? Come on, that would be a complete rip-off.
