Hello dear forum members,
We signed the order confirmation for our house back in August 2020.
In October of this year, we will sign the construction contract, and in November the foundation slab will be laid.
The site work will start around May.
The house assembly is scheduled for April next year.
Now we have heard about significant price increases in the timber sector.
Can we expect a price increase despite the signed order confirmation?
Wording of the order confirmation: "House: March/April 2022, depending on weather conditions and completion of preliminary work.
The final construction sum will be fixed in the construction contract after the approval planning and selection of finishes.
In case of financing refusal by the lending institutions, the order confirmation expires without any costs."

lisa-kessler13 Apr 2021 13:43@T_im_Norden: That's correct, just as you described. We basically have until the construction contract to decide what work we want to do ourselves and what to leave to the builder. However, everything is priced out. In theory, it would still be possible until then to remove items and do them as self-performed work.
I don’t know why an additional construction contract is being made.
The builder just wanted a commitment from us so they can firmly schedule the build date.
According to them, the selection of materials is planned for September, and the final construction contract, specifying how the walls will go into production, is scheduled for October.
I also believe that we have already signed a contract. We had to take it signed to the architect back in August 2020.

I see it the same way. The order has been placed, so the contract is concluded. That sounds quite reassuring.

Stefan00113 Apr 2021 13:54Well, but your signed contract also states "The final construction sum will be determined upon completion ..."
In my opinion, this reduces all price quotes to a "wishful thinking" figure. To what extent you are still bound by the contract if the previous figures are changed is another matter...

Could it be that the term "work contract" actually refers to the detailed design phase? Otherwise, I would stay quiet and hope for the best. If something does come up, you can simply sit down together and sort it out. It will work out. Yes, detailed design 🙂 Thanks to you...Similar topics
