Lawyer Franz is convinced: Both parties, both the developer and the customer, ultimately benefit from the flexibility clauses, not only because both parties want the project to run smoothly without disputes and construction standstills. But also because the alternatives are inflated fantasy prices that the contractors have to ask to be on the safe side. The Frankfurt resident believes that prices with the possibility of upward adjustment are always the smaller risk. The understanding for this is growing in the commercial sector, following all it is clear to everyone involved that they need each other – also for the future.
For customers, however, this also means that they have to be prepared not to pay the very best price that a newcomer who calculates particularly tightly can possibly offer them – but whose bill only works out if everything develops optimally. It is precisely these property developers who often suddenly slide into insolvency and leave unfinished projects behind, which the owners then sometimes argue regarding for years.
