The condition of the ground is an essential, often overlooked factor when building a house. Many builders wrongly assume that the construction company has included all costs for excavation and construction in the all-inclusive price. In reality, however, only the explicitly agreed services are included in the price, which means that the building ground risk usually lies with the builders.
Construction contract law requires construction companies to provide potential buyers with a detailed construction description. This should not only list the planned services and costs, but also address unforeseen cost risks such as the condition of the building ground. A thorough examination of the ground before construction begins often reveals additional, costly necessities such as ground remediation or special basement constructions.
An early soil survey, ideally before the contract is signed, is crucial in order to be able to realistically assess the cost risk. Experts from the Association of Private Builders offer valuable support here by precisely assessing the soil conditions and thus protecting builders from unexpected expenses.
