Architects / Construction Companies / Construction Consultants Recommendations in Ingolstadt?

Wasztl was already on my list

He is exactly one of those typical candidates: family business, website not as polished as the big players in the industry, but overall impression competent.

Hello,

regarding noise, we haven’t noticed anything negative so far with 2 children. We lived before in a two-family house with a small child upstairs... of course, you could hear much more there.
Of course, you hear it in the bedroom when someone goes to the toilet (footsteps in the hallway), but we keep the door ajar at night anyway to hear the children if something is wrong.
If someone plays loudly upstairs, you can of course hear it in the other rooms on the upper floor and also partially in the hallway downstairs due to our open staircase.

It was important to us that the toilet flush/shower etc. does not border any bedroom... everything is located in the north (bathroom is northeast). Our bedroom is directly adjacent to the bathroom and you don’t hear anything when someone showers or flushes the toilet.

Regarding the indoor climate, I have to say in general that we had the opportunity to ventilate consistently several times a day during winter while the shell was being built and since the end of March (screed) until moving in. In the 15 weeks after the screed, I aired out by shock ventilation 3 times a day (and always sucked off the moisture on the windows in the morning with a window vacuum) since the way to the construction site was very short. Currently, we ventilate by shock ventilation in the morning and fully in the evening... We have installed fly screens everywhere, so the bedrooms are sometimes tilted open all day at not-too-hot weather.

I have 2 hygrometers for the humidity: one in the basement (living basement about 45-60%, additional electric dehumidifier which runs occasionally for 2-3 hours and extracts a good amount of water) and one on the upper floor (child’s bedroom yesterday evening 42%). But this still has to settle and of course, you have to experiment a bit with ventilation. I think that will show in winter.

We do not have any ventilation system.

House automation is nothing special. Electric blinds on the ground floor with a central switch.

We considered hiring an independent expert but ultimately did not use one. The shell and roof were certified by an independent party to be of very good quality, and we also had a good feeling. That may sound naive, but that’s just how it is. We had brought the expert into conversation with Mr. Wasztl Sr. before construction started; that wouldn’t have been a problem. He would have coordinated the appointment with him and conducted the inspections together on site.

This is such a typical candidate: family business, website logically not as polished as the big players in the industry, but overall impression competent.

That was also our impression during the offer phase... The homepage offers a few standard houses. However, for the first offer only the "shell" counts... Inside everything can be changed according to your own wishes, the exterior dimensions can also be adjusted. You have several appointments with a planner on site and can adjust everything until you are satisfied. For us, there were only 2 appointments with her because we already had quite precise ideas.

Mr. Wasztl Sr. has been working as a general contractor in our region around Ingolstadt since 1978, his sons have also been involved for about 20 years. The handed-out craftsman list includes exclusively companies from the area around 20 km around Ingolstadt. They have all known each other for years.

Please also put them in the house pictures thread. The planner thought very carefully about placing the windows aesthetically. Overall, a very elegant combination presented constructively simple but neat. You don't even have to recess seven bay windows for the house to look full of character.

I am currently looking at Jura Holzbau, they were also in the finals with you. Why did you ultimately decide on Wasztl?

Hello everyone,

we moved into our newly built solid single-family house last weekend.
We built with the company L.Wasztl Hausbau from Karlskron. They are the general contractor coordinating the companies and trades (all from the region and some working for Wasztl for decades).

We started with the basement at the end of September 2016, the shell construction with roof and windows was finished in November and was allowed to dry out over the winter according to plan. Electrical and sanitary rough installation then in January/February, screed at the end of March.

We were highly satisfied; the communication with the general contractor as well as with all involved companies directly was always very good.

The shell construction was done by the company Glöckl from Karlskron. Also friends of ours (self-contracted) had the shell construction done with Glöckl in springtime.

Smaller defects on site were discussed and resolved immediately and unbureaucratically. There were really only 3-4 minor things.

The construction period was really very relaxed for us (2 children) (of course also very exciting and thrilling) and it was a lot of fun to observe what was new every day. The good gut feeling has not left us from the first meeting until now.

So really only to recommend.

We had KMH, JuraHolzhaus and the architect Simone Buchner (Neuburg) in the offer phase and finally only Jura and Wasztl were still in the running.

If you have questions, interest in a viewing or craftsmen list, feel free to send a private message.

Best regards

Hello,
what spoke against KMH and for Wasztl?
Personally, I did not know Wasztl at all before. I come from near Neuburg on the Danube.
