The scope of services results from the offer, the service description, supplements and written agreements.

All prices are as stated in the offer. Services not expressly included are remunerated separately.

Before the project begins, a down payment of 25% of the order value – but at least the value of the materials – is due. Work starts only after receipt of payment.

No liability is accepted for errors, delays or damage arising from third-party services, unless caused by Cavdar Construction GmbH.
