Wiesbaden (dpa / lhe) - In the crisis over the sharp rise in prices for building materials, the Hessian craft has asked the public clients to goodwill.
If craft businesses are delayed in delivery due to market bottlenecks, the state, districts and municipalities would absolutely have to forego contractual sanctions, demanded the President of the Crafts Day (HHT), Stefan Füll, according to a statement on Friday.
According to the association, many private builders showed understanding for the difficult situation of the companies in renegotiations.
These could not alone compensate for the extreme price increases, for example for construction timber, insulation material, steel or paint.
Fill warned of the devastating consequences for the regional economy if the price crisis were not dealt with flexibly: “If the craft businesses involved are driven into bankruptcy because the equity base has already been used up by the pandemic, the damage would be much greater - for the taxpayer , the private or public builder and the economy. "
In renegotiations, many private builders showed understanding when there was an extreme price increase for the materials between the original quotation calculation a few months ago and today.
