Actually, your requirement here also speaks in favor of a small general contractor. Where you speak directly with the boss. A master craftsman or an architect.

They take me even less seriously than the house sellers, and with a general contractor or architect I have to deal with more details.

Why should the master carpenter and company owner who builds 5 houses take you less seriously than a sales agent who doesn't care about you after signing? The architect works for you. You would like the "prenatal diagnostics" after all. There are architects who also work as general contractors. Prefabricated house providers are also general contractors, by the way.

How do you come to the conclusion that you have to deal with more details? You are not in a position to have to do anything yourself in the house construction (let's leave aside the self-performed work like painting for now) I have already said once: right now you are standing in your own way with your controlling behavior.

First you ask about negotiating power and then you express concern about not being taken seriously. Buying a house is a transaction that is not based on a power struggle or a contest for equal footing. That already seems peculiar.
