Air-to-air or air-to-water heat pump?

Yes, as written, switching to an air-water heat pump was no problem, but the standard initially was the Proxon on offer.

I think it was my husband's personal preference; I probably would have chosen Rensch-Haus but with an air-water heat pump and underfloor heating.

I'm somehow currently in a hole where I no longer know exactly what I actually want

I think I also got into the prefabricated house thing too quickly and intensely.

What annoys me a bit is that the info is often partly bad and I know much more than the AD employee there in many areas. Everyone tells you something different and you have to pay attention to so many things that will cost you an extreme amount of money afterward. Many things are not mentioned.

One provider tells me: You don’t have to do any structural analysis, it’s all included.
Another provider tells me: Structural analysis costs around 6,000 because of earthquake zone 3 etc.. We’re not even allowed to check it ourselves, an external expert comes etc.

I slowly don’t know what to believe anymore and am not really convinced by anyone.
I somehow would have a much better feeling with a regional construction company.
Somehow with the prefabricated house story you’re just some number. Afterwards everything will go well, certainly even, it’s all a question of money. And often the builders don’t know anything at all! I’m not even surprised why these builders are then fully satisfied. They just don’t know what could be changed.

Example:

Over the weekend I was in a new development area and called from the street onto the terrace and asked whether it was an aluminum lift-and-slide door or a parallel sliding door.
The answer was: No idea, just a door.

I think you know what I mean

Everyone is at that point. Let everything settle, then think about what is important to you. Basically, your personal priority list. You need the provider that is closest to this priority list. Try it with a smaller carpentry company with max. 30 houses.

One provider tells me: You don't have to do anything more for the structural analysis verification, everything is included. The other provider tells me: The structural analysis verification costs around 6,000 due to seismic zone 3, etc. We are not even allowed to check that ourselves, an external expert has to do it, etc.

The matter of structural analysis verification is actually regulated by law. In some federal states - e.g. here in Hesse - the structural analysis verification must be carried out by an external structural engineer.

Exactly. But then I ask myself: where is the trust here? Somehow the companies are too far removed from the matter.. They just sell their house and that’s it, they don’t care about anything else. That’s why the question actually arises whether I should look for a regional solid construction builder.

That is why the question here really is whether I should look for a regional solid construction builder.

And those who really take it seriously often end up with the solid construction builder after all.

At that time, we had discussions with 7 companies. 5 prefabricated house companies and two solid construction builders. Finally, three made it to the final selection and the winner was the solid construction builder who had his office only 20 km away and could be on the construction site daily.
