Hello everyone,
I would like to know your opinion on this topic.
Our construction project is planned to be a single-family house with about 150 sqm of living space, a basement, a pitched roof, and 2 full floors. Since I am an HVAC technician myself, I have drawn the plans myself so far and handed them over to the architect.
We currently have an offer from an architect who would carry out LPH 1-4 with us (flat rate offer €10,000 net). Now we would need to obtain offers from the structural engineer (arrived today: about €5,000), from the energy consultant, and possibly a construction manager.
The architect advises us to request turnkey offers from various companies for the building permit based on his revised plans.
Since I will carry out the plumbing/heating trades myself and possibly also the electrical work, we are wondering whether turnkey is worthwhile or if the companies would accept that as well?
Acquaintances have told us that it would be more sensible to have the architect do everything because otherwise there can be points of friction with too many contacts.
What do you think about that?
Thank you very much.
Best regards Benjamin
