General contractor Vienna one party is liable for everything.

General contractor Vienna: from the building contractor that does the work — not from an agent.

General contractor Vienna: a general contractor coordinates all trades and is liable for the overall result. The mark-up compared with awarding trades separately is 8 to 15 % – in return the contractor takes over the construction schedule, the interfaces and the warranty. Fixed price under ÖNORM B 2110.

A general contractor carries out part of the work itself and subcontracts the rest – but is liable to you for everything. You have one contract, one construction schedule, one acceptance and one warranty. The mark-up compared with awarding trades separately is 8 to 15 % of the construction sum and covers site management, coordination and the risk at the interfaces. For projects with three or more interlocking trades it usually pays off simply because nobody is waiting for anybody.

In return, around 60 to 100 hours of coordination work for the client disappear, as do the risk of delays and the question of who is liable when the floor lifts. Experience shows that separate trade contracts rarely turn out cheaper in the end – the difference does not show in the quote, but in the extra charges and the construction time.

General contractor for period building renovation in Vienna

Most enquiries we receive as a general contractor are not about new builds but about existing buildings: a period flat, an apartment building, a terraced house from the seventies. Existing buildings are the harder case, because only after demolition is it clear what is really there.

ProjectWhat the general contractor takes onUsual construction time
Renovating a period flatDemolition, electrics, plumbing, screed, drywall, tiles, floors, painting, doors6–14 weeks
Gut renovation with layout changesadditionally structural engineering, openings, complete building services12–22 weeks
Apartment building, base renovationRoof, facade, risers, stairwell, handling of funding6–15 months
Converting and extending a houseExtension, structural engineering, envelope, building services, fit-out5–12 months
Shop or medical practiceStrip-out, fit-out to the user's concept, completion by the opening date8–16 weeks
New build, turnkeyfrom the excavation to handover, all trades12–18 months
In existing buildings a general contractor is worth more than in new builds. With a new build there is a plan at the start, and all trades work through it. In a period building there is a surprise behind every second wall: a pipe where there should not be one, a timber beam that no longer carries, a screed with asbestos adhesive. With separate trade contracts the site then stands still because nobody is responsible. With a general contractor the work is rescheduled, and the contract bears the consequences – not the client.

We are the building contractor that does the work. Regulated trades – electrics, gas, water – are carried out by licensed partner firms, coordinated by us and under our responsibility. For you nothing changes: one contract, one invoice, one contact person, one warranty.

General contractor, main contractor, general planner: the difference

RoleWhat it doesWho is liable for the work
General contractorcarries out key parts itself, subcontracts the restthe general contractor, solely towards the client
Main contractor without own works (Generalübernehmer)does no work itself, subcontracts everythingalso the main contractor, but without its own site capacity
General plannerdesigns and coordinates, does not buildfor the design, not for the construction work
Separate trade contractsThe client commissions each trade directlyeach for themselves, interfaces lie with the client
Master builder (Baumeister)Trade licence for designing and building structuresfor its own work
The most important difference is not in the name but in the question: who sends someone to the site when something goes wrong? A main contractor without its own crew first has to find a subcontractor – and that subcontractor has other appointments. We have our own people and can react the same week. So before signing, ask which work the provider carries out itself. If the answer is nothing, it is an agent.

What must be in the GC contract

Bill of quantitiesEvery item with a unit price, system details for technical components, explicit exclusions. A fixed price without the line "not included" is not a fixed price.
Construction schedule as part of the contractWith milestones, not just an end date. Penalties can be agreed; 0.5 to 1 ‰ of the construction sum per day of delay is usual, capped at 5 %.
Payment plan according to progressInstalments tied to completed stages, a performance retention of 3 to 5 % until acceptance, then a warranty retention for the warranty period.
Naming the subcontractorsRegulated trades by name, with proof of licence. Anyone who refuses probably does not have one.
Rules for extrasWritten approval before the work is carried out. No extra is invoiced after the fact.
Construction liability insuranceAt least €3 million for work in occupied buildings. Have the policy shown to you before work starts.
ÖNORM B 2110 as the contractual basisIt governs acceptance, notice of defects, retentions and changes to the scope. Without it only the ABGB applies, and much is left unregulated.
Condition survey for neighbouring buildingsPhotos and a crack record before work starts. Without them, every existing crack is attributed to you in a dispute.

How we work as a general contractor

1 · Site visit and surveyFree of charge throughout Vienna, within five working days. Condition of the fabric, moisture, load-bearing capacity, build-up heights, access to the site.
2 · Bill of quantities and fixed priceWithin two working days of the site visit, with quantities, unit prices, construction schedule and exclusions.
3 · Procedures and fundingSubmission via licensed partner firms, funding application before the contract is awarded. Anyone who awards the contract first loses the entitlement completely.
4 · Awarding subcontractsWe have worked with the same firms for years. That is why the interfaces work – the people know each other.
5 · Site set-up and noticeDust protection, stairwell protection, skip, parking-lane permit, notice in the building two weeks in advance.
6 · Execution with one site managerReachable on site every day, weekly photo report, extras approved in writing beforehand.
7 · Documentation before closing upPipes and cables with measurements, waterproofing before tiling, measurement and pressure test reports.
8 · Acceptance and handoverJoint inspection, list of defects, acceptance report under ÖNORM B 2110, complete documentation, final cleaning.

What a general contractor adds on and what it saves

The GC mark-up is the question every client asks. The honest answer: it is 8 to 15 per cent on top of the sum of the individual quotes – and it almost always pays off, because separate trade contracts create costs that appear in no quote.

ItemSeparate trade contractsGeneral contractor
Quoted price of the tradeslower, because calculated without coordinationplus 8–15 % mark-up
Coordinationyour time, often 5–10 hours a weekincluded
Standstill because preceding work is missingborne by the clientborne by the general contractor
Defects at the interfaceseveryone points at someone elseone party responsible
Warrantyseparate for each trade, different periodsuniform from one contract
Construction timelonger, because dates are negotiated one after the othershorter, trades dovetail
Extrasfrom each trade separatelyonly for changes made by the client
Separate trade contracts pay off if you are your own site manager. Anyone who has time, knows the sequence and can lead tradespeople saves the mark-up and does nothing wrong. Anyone who works full-time and sees the site in the evening after work loses the saving with the first trade that turns up for nothing because the previous one was not finished. That is exactly what a general contractor is for.

Everything from a single source: what that means in practice

"Everything from a single source" appears on many websites. With us the phrase has a verifiable meaning, namely these seven points.

PointWhat you gain
One contract according to ÖNORM B 2110one legal basis instead of twelve different sets of terms and conditions
One fixed pricethe total stands as long as you change nothing
One scheduleone completion date, not twelve promises
One contact personone number for everything, even when things get stuck
One invoiceone payment plan according to progress
A warrantyno dispute about which trade is to blame
One insurance policyConstruction liability insurance over €3 million for the entire project
The difference between a building company and a referral portal shows when there is a defect. A portal forwards the complaint and hopes the executing firm reacts. A building company sends someone. Ask before awarding the contract: who will come if a joint cracks in two years' time – and is that name in the contract?

How to choose a general contractor

CheckpointWhat to look out forWarning signs
Trade licenceMaster builder licence, verifiable in GISAonly the trades "property developer" or "building caretaking"
Own executionwhich work the firm carries out itselfno information, everything is subcontracted
QuoteIndividual items with quantities and unit pricesa lump sum without a breakdown
Contractual basisÖNORM B 2110 expressly agreedown terms and conditions without the standard
Payment planaccording to construction progress, with a retentionlarge advance payment before work starts
InsuranceConstruction liability insurance, have the sum provenproof is not provided
Referencescomparable properties that can be visitedonly pictures without place and year
The warranty retention is the most important sentence in the payment plan. Three to five per cent of the contract sum is usual, retained until the end of the warranty period or replaced by a bank guarantee. Anyone who will not agree to this has a problem with their own creditworthiness or with their own work. You should know either before signing, not afterwards.

Where problems arise with separate trade contracts

  • The screed layer arrives before the electrics are finished. Both are right, both have their date – and the client is stuck in the middle.
  • The floor is laid too early. Without a moisture readiness test the parquet cups. The floor layer says the screed was too wet; the screed layer says the floor went down too early.
  • The waterproofing in the bathroom is missing. The tiler thought the plumber would do it. It becomes visible at the neighbour's.
  • A firm drops out. All subsequent dates shift, and nobody is responsible for re-planning.
  • Material is missing on installation day. When the client supplies materials, the site stands still and the costs keep running.
  • Nobody took the photos. Five years later someone drills into a pipe, and there is no documentation.
The GC mark-up of 8 to 15 % pays for exactly these cases. Not because they inevitably happen, but because someone answers for them when they do. For a single trade it is money thrown away – from three interlocking trades upwards it is the cheaper option.

General contractor for apartment renovation

Apartment renovation is the case where separate trade contracts most often go wrong. Six to nine trades work one after the other in eighty square metres, and each needs the previous one to be finished. If the screed is delayed by a week, the whole chain stops.

WeekTradeWhat is possible afterwards
1Demolition, disposal, dust protectionPipes and cables can be run
2–3Electrics and plumbing, chases and pipesWalls can be closed
3–4Drywall, service walls, repairsScreed can be laid
4–5Screed, then drying timenothing – this time cannot be shortened
6–8Tiles, bathroom waterproofingFloors and doors follow
8–10Floors, painting, doorsInstallation of fixtures and appliances
10–12Sanitary and electrical installation, kitchenHandover
Screed drying is the point at which schedules fall apart. Depending on thickness and room climate, cement screed needs three to six weeks before it is ready for floor coverings – this is measured with the CM method, not estimated. Anyone who lays parquet earlier gets cupping and gaps. Rapid screed shortens this to a few days but costs considerably more. We make this decision together before work starts, because it determines the move-in date.

Details on the process and prices can be found on the pages Apartment renovation, Gut renovation and Period building renovation.

We turn down small jobs far outside the city, and we say so straight away. We could technically do a bathroom renovation in St. Pölten, but the travel makes it uneconomical for both sides – and with follow-up work every little thing takes half a day. We would rather name a local firm than write a quote that helps nobody.

Who we work for as a general contractor

Private clients

From apartment renovation to gut renovation. One contact instead of eight sets of appointments and the question of who is to blame.

Tenement building owners

Base and total renovation, often while the building is occupied, with funding handled via wohnfonds_wien and coordination with MA 19 and MA 37.

Property management companies

Verifiable bills of quantities for owners' resolutions, maintenance and improvement shown separately, weekly photo reports.

Investors and developers

Several units in series, on schedule, with consistent quality and one invoice per property.

When you do not need a general contractor

For a single trade without interfaces you pay the mark-up for nothing – only a new floor means a floor layer, only painting means a painter. If you are in the trade yourself, have time and know the trades, separate contracts are cheaper; the mark-up pays for exactly the work you would then do yourself. And if your project is not yet clear – layout open, budget unclear, funding unchecked – a site visit with a cost frame is worth more first than a contract.

General contractor in all 23 districts of Vienna

We work in 1010 Innere Stadt, 1020 Leopoldstadt, 1030 Landstraße, 1040 Wieden, 1050 Margareten, 1060 Mariahilf, 1070 Neubau, 1080 Josefstadt, 1090 Alsergrund, 1100 Favoriten, 1110 Simmering, 1120 Meidling, 1130 Hietzing, 1140 Penzing, 1150 Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus, 1160 Ottakring, 1170 Hernals, 1180 Währing, 1190 Döbling, 1200 Brigittenau, 1210 Floridsdorf, 1220 Donaustadt, 1230 Liesing. What is typical in which district is explained on the page Construction company Vienna.

Period flat with a general contractor: what runs differently in a flat than in a house

Anyone renovating a period flat is building in a house they only partly own. That is exactly what changes a general contractor's work. Stairwell, courtyard, risers and chimneys are common parts on which the property management and co-owners have a say. Before a jackhammer starts, coordination with the management is needed: when may the lift be used for materials, where does the rubble skip go, which quiet hours apply under the house rules, and who shuts off water and gas at the riser?

Typical of Gründerzeit flats, for example in Margareten in the 5th district (1050) with its dense blocks of apartment buildings, are timber-beam ceilings, Dippelbaum ceilings and old lead pipes in the walls. The GC decides the order in which things are opened up: first floors and shafts, then the findings, then the price for the concealed items. If a ceiling turns out to be weakened, structural engineering and possibly a report to the building authority (MA 37) are needed. A general contractor who provides for this in the contract as a contingency item protects you from the classic "construction stop, new price".

For the client one thing changes in practice: they speak to one person who deals with neighbours, the management and the trades. How such a flat is converted step by step is shown on the page Apartment renovation in Vienna; if the flat is opened up to the shell, it is worth looking at gut renovation.

General contracting in Austria: which duties the client still has

"Generalunternehmen" and "Generalunternehmer" mean the same thing: a firm that takes on all construction work in one contract and answers for the whole. In Austria more is attached to this than just coordination. You should know three points, because they apply even when you commission a GC.

  • Construction work coordination: if several firms work on site at the same time or one after the other, the Construction Work Coordination Act (BauKG) requires, depending on size, a planning coordinator and a site coordinator as well as a health and safety plan. The client can delegate this task – but it does not disappear.
  • Client liability: in construction, the client can be liable for social security contributions not paid by its contractor. This is checked via the list of companies exempt from liability (HFU list). Commercial clients usually check it before every payment.
  • Contractual basis: ÖNORM B 2110 governs changes to the scope, claims for additional costs, acceptance and retentions. A GC contract that adopts it is more predictable for both sides than a freely worded contract for work.

For clients outside the capital the same legal situation applies – our sites, however, are in Vienna and the nearby surroundings. Projects in Lower Austria are described on the page Construction company Lower Austria.

General contractor, general renovation, construction company: which page suits your project

Many searches land on the wrong page with us because the terms overlap. The distinction is easy if you sort by the question that is on your mind right now.

I already have firms and need someone to supervise them.site supervision and schedulingSite management

The core here remains the question of responsibility: a GC owes a finished, defect-free overall work. Site management owes careful supervision, but not the work itself. Anyone who confuses the two only notices when a warranty claim arises.

How a GC quote comes about and why it is more than a sum

A serious general contractor quote does not come from a square-metre figure but from a specification. It starts with a survey, photos, plans and a conversation about your wishes. Then every trade is broken down into items – demolition, plumbing, electrics, screed, drywall, tiles, painting, floors – and given quantities. Only from these items does the total price including the coordination share result.

Why this effort? Because only an itemised quote shows what is missing. If there is no disposal, no site set-up or no protective covering in the stairwell, the low price is an invitation to extra charges. Also look for three details: a construction schedule with milestones, a payment plan that follows progress, and a clear list of which work is done by authorised partner firms. When comparing several quotes, a simple rule helps: same quantities, same qualities, and only then put the prices side by side.

Frequently asked questions about general contractors in Vienna

What does a general contractor do?
It carries out part of the work with its own people, subcontracts the rest and is liable to you for the overall result. You have one contract, one construction schedule, one acceptance and one warranty.
What does a general contractor cost?
The mark-up compared with the sum of the individual quotes is 8 to 15 % of the construction sum. For an apartment renovation with €94,500 in separate contracts, that is around €6,200. In return, 60 to 100 hours of coordination by the client disappear.
Are separate trade contracts cheaper?
In the quote yes, in the end rarely. The difference does not show when comparing sums, but in extras, longer construction times and disputes at the interfaces. From three interlocking trades upwards the GC is usually the cheaper option.
What is the difference from a main contractor who does no work itself?
The general contractor carries out part of the work itself; the Generalübernehmer subcontracts everything and only coordinates. Its mark-up is higher at 12 to 20 %, because it adds no value of its own. We work as a general contractor.
What is a design-and-build contractor?
It also takes on the design – concept, permit submission, detailed design and construction from a single source, mark-up 15 to 25 %. Sensible for new builds and major conversions; for renovating existing buildings the GC is the more usual form.
Who is liable if a subcontractor does poor work?
We are. You have a contract with us, and we answer for the subcontractors' work. Whether we recover the cost from them internally is not your concern – that is the core of the GC model.
What warranty is there?
Three years under § 933 ABGB on the workmanship, across all trades, with one contact person. Manufacturers' warranties on products run separately and often longer.
Is the general contractor's price a fixed price?
Yes, based on the bill of quantities under ÖNORM B 2110. Anything that depends on the findings is included as a priced contingency item.
How high are usual extras?
In period buildings 5 to 12 % of the construction sum. Anyone who promises zero has priced them in or will claim them later. What matters is that every extra is approved in writing before it is carried out – not that there are none.
What happens with hidden damage?
We stop, document with photos and present a supplementary quote before work continues. In period building renovations this happens regularly: rotten beam ends, disused chimneys, undocumented pipes, pollutants.
What protects me if I pay in instalments?
Each instalment is tied to a completed construction stage, plus performance and warranty retentions under ÖNORM B 2110. So part of the sum remains open until acceptance.
How is the final payment secured?
Via performance and warranty retentions under ÖNORM B 2110: one part remains open until acceptance, another for the warranty period.
Can penalties be agreed?
Yes. 0.5 to 1 ‰ of the construction sum per day of delay is usual, capped at about 5 %. The prerequisite is a construction schedule as part of the contract – without it there is no reference point for delay.
What happens if construction is delayed?
Delays for which we are responsible are at our expense. Delays caused by official procedures, decisions on the client's side, choice of materials or force majeure shift the date – recorded in writing, with a new target date.
Are the subcontractors named?
Yes, regulated trades by name and with proof of licence before the contract is signed. We have worked with the same firms for years – that is why the interfaces work.
Can I provide individual trades myself?
Possible, but the interface becomes a risk: if your electrician comes two days late, the whole site stands still. We write services provided by the client explicitly into the quote and exclude them from our warranty – so it is clear who answers for what.
Do you also take on design and permit submission?
Via licensed partner firms under § 94 no. 5 GewO, at 8 to 14 % of the construction sum for design, structural engineering, submission and site supervision. Coordination of the procedures runs through us – you have one contact person.
Do you take care of funding?
Yes, for THEWOSAN, base renovation via wohnfonds_wien and the City of Vienna's housing improvement scheme. Important: the application must be approved before the contract is awarded – anyone who awards it first loses the entitlement completely.
Do you also work in occupied buildings?
Yes, for apartment buildings that is the rule. Work in sections, dust protection with an airlock, stairwell protection, daily rough cleaning, clear escape routes, notice in the building two weeks in advance.
How big does a project have to be?
From about three interlocking trades the model pays off. For a single trade a specialist firm is cheaper – we say so openly, even if it costs us a job.
What do I receive at the end?
Acceptance report under ÖNORM B 2110, photo documentation of the concealed work, test reports of the trades and the invoice according to the bill of quantities.
What if the general contractor becomes insolvent?
That is why you pay according to progress and not in advance: what has not been built has not been paid for either. Ask how long the firm has existed and check its trade licence in GISA – it takes thirty seconds and applies to every provider.
What insurance is in place?
Construction liability insurance with €3 million cover. We present the policy before work starts – a promise in the quote does not replace proof, neither with us nor with a competitor.
Who bears the risk towards third parties?
The general contractor. Before work starts a condition survey is carried out; during the work the construction liability insurance with €3 million cover applies.
What does a general contractor in Vienna cost?
The mark-up is 8 to 15 per cent compared with the sum of the individual quotes. In return, coordination, standstill costs and disputes over interfaces disappear. With separate contracts, add five to ten hours of your time per week.
What is the difference between a general contractor and a Generalübernehmer?
The general contractor carries out key parts itself and subcontracts the rest. The Generalübernehmer does no work itself and subcontracts everything. Both are liable – but only one can send its own people when something goes wrong.
Do you take on a period building renovation as a general contractor?
Yes, that is our most frequent case: apartment renovation 6 to 14 weeks, gut renovation with layout changes 12 to 22 weeks, base renovation of an apartment building 6 to 15 months. In existing buildings a general contractor is worth more than in new builds, because there is a surprise behind every second wall.
What should I look for when choosing?
Check the master-builder licence in GISA, ask for individual items instead of a lump sum, agree ÖNORM B 2110 as the contractual basis, a payment plan according to progress with a three to five per cent warranty retention, and ask for proof of construction liability insurance.
What does "everything from a single source" mean with you?
One contract under ÖNORM B 2110, one fixed price, one schedule, one contact person, one invoice, one warranty and construction liability insurance over €3 million for the entire project – including where licensed partner firms carry out the work.
How does coordination with the property management work for a period flat?
Before work starts we agree with the management on lift use, the skip location, quiet hours and shut-offs at the riser. The residents get a notice with the construction period and a contact person. Work on common parts such as risers or chimneys requires the consent of the owners or the management; we obtain this together with you before anything is opened.
Is the client liable for social security contributions despite having a general contractor?
In construction, the client can be liable for unpaid social security contributions of the commissioned company. Commercial clients therefore check the HFU list before payments. For private clients who only have their own flat or house renovated, the situation is different; if in doubt, a short query with a tax adviser or lawyer is worthwhile.
Who takes on site coordination under BauKG in a GC contract?
In principle the client is responsible, but can delegate the task to a suitable person. On our projects we clarify at the start whether a site coordinator and a health and safety plan are needed, and state the costs in the quote. That way the duty does not first come up during an inspection by the labour inspectorate.
How can I tell whether a GC quote is complete?
By the items, not the sum. A quote is complete if it includes site set-up, protective measures, disposal, all trades with quantities and contingency items for hidden damage. It also needs a construction schedule and a payment plan according to progress. If one of these is missing, ask before comparing prices.
