A general contractor and an owner agree on a fixed lump-sum price (Pauschalpreis) of CHF 2,500,000 for the construction of a commercial building. During construction, the contractor incurs CHF 300,000 in additional labor and material costs due to general inflation and supply chain price spikes. Can the contractor demand a price increase under Art. 373 OR?
Correct Answer:
No, because under Art. 373 Abs. 1 OR, a lump-sum price is strictly binding, and general market inflation is an ordinary commercial risk borne by the contractor unless extraordinary, unforeseeable circumstances make performance excessively onerous under Art. 373 Abs. 2 OR.
