Hello dear builders,
we are currently in the process of obtaining offers for prefabricated houses and solid houses from general contractors. The plot of land is available.
140 m² with a basement costs about 340,000 euros.
plus additional construction costs, outdoor facilities, carport, plot.
Now, the situation is that in our family, a large new house was built with an architect two years ago, and through a lot of the builder's own effort in organization/many offers obtained, negotiating themselves, etc., a great price-performance ratio was achieved.
Now our consideration:
If we were also to build with this architect and do a so-called "piggyback solution," i.e. ask the same affordable and good craftsmen again if they would do the same for e.g. a 4% price increase?
Do you think this would be a good idea?
I think we could benefit from the "process," which we would basically just have to pick up and work through...
It would be easier than starting such a project completely fresh and inexperienced.
Of course, individual trades could also be tendered anew if necessary.
I just think, if I (parental leave) and our fathers (retired) would assist in the organization, i.e. offers, paperwork, resolving problems with suppliers, etc., these costs could be saved.
How much does a GC typically earn for their service of an "all-round carefree package"? 20%
How much does an architect roughly cost if you assist him a little as much as possible?
Thank you very much for your brief assessment!!
