Good morning everyone,

Last night we had the appointment with GU No. 2. He immediately advised us against the partial basement - for known reasons

Otherwise, we changed everything so that it fits the offer from GU No. 1.

Our middle house neighbors have apparently also scheduled an appointment with GU No. 2 - probably then also with No. 1. It would be ideal if it coincidentally worked out with the same GU for both of us. But we probably won’t know any details until about two weeks from now. By then, we will both have our offers at the latest.

Does anyone happen to know how it will be if, as on our street and property, there is little space for the construction crane? Who mediates and decides who is allowed to build in which order? Maybe the first submitted building application?

This is just out of pure interest in advance - we will have an appointment at the building authority after Easter to clarify such questions.

Well, once again I find myself confirmed in my "basic attitude" that it is not good to have row house plots developed by individual builders. I hope that both parties refrain from choosing a different general contractor than the others because of a few thousand price difference.

I absolutely have to disagree with you. On the one hand, because it is no problem at all for the different general contractors and because I believe in people's common sense – our neighbors will now also go to the general contractors favored by both of us – but whether it will actually fit together in the end remains to be seen.

However, your suggestion can again cause problems regarding who goes to which general contractor and possibly pays the “few thousand” extra? We are not that well off after all.

Besides, you would also have to extend your "basic attitude" to semi-detached houses – they basically have the identical issue. And it works there too – and not always with the same general contractor.

In the classic property developer (or other one-general contractor) row of houses, the problem does not arise: one construction phase = one cycle for excavators / cranes / scaffolding etcetera.

I also did not mean "a few thousand" in absolute terms - but rather: that I wish the parties involved that neither one assigns decisive weight to a price difference of twenty thousand and the other at five thousand says he would rather take the cheaper one than the same as the neighbor. Rather that both may have the same "pain threshold" up to which they prioritize the value of pulling together.

By the way, semi-detached houses do not have a middle house, so two free sides and only one joint. That is somewhat less complex, although I also recommend joint planning and coordinated building there.

Well, probably falls under the category of theoretical zealot on this topic. He never tires of preaching his opinion, even if it completely misses the mark in practice. Here it is absolutely the rule that whole streets of houses built side by side are all constructed differently. This applies to old, newer, and new buildings. No one gives up their freedom of choice to (theoretically) make it a bit more clever and easier. Technically, it’s all doable; if it costs a few thousand more, so what? has the right attitude. Communicate, weigh options, and make a decision. But really, you don’t have to be afraid of 3 different GCs in one block, it will work out.

I find 's persistence here quite justified. If the coordination of the GUs doesn't work and everything has to be dug up and sealed again and again, etc., then the neighboring builders will remember it, but by then it will be too late.

If all three carry out the construction as a joint project, it will be cheaper for everyone, go faster, and maybe even look better. They just don't realize what chaos has been avoided. They will only notice it if they don't do it together.
