Building planning before purchasing the land - experiences?

Thank you very much for the feedback so far.

I would like to clarify my question once again. Perhaps I have not expressed it clearly enough.
The question about the architect (through the general contractor or hiring your own) arises at the latest when I have the plot of land, and I want to get started then. Therefore, I would like to clarify the decision in advance. You can do that with or without land – or do you have a different opinion on this?

Hello! So we are building with the company from Erkheim. Less because of sustainability (for us a nice bonus), but because we feel very well taken care of there and are sure that the quality will be right, and our own time effort is optimized. The architect is their partner, but we commissioned him and he is accordingly independent. Everything is great here too, all our wishes are appropriately considered. But you do need a plot of land, and when we had one, we only went to this company and that was fine, we didn’t ask other companies or anything. Time was an issue for us though.

How did you come across the architect? Coincidence that he is a partner? OffTonic: Can someone tell me why you can’t find Baufritz or Sonnleitner among the house providers?

Why? You can find them after all

That can be with or without land

You can also ponder that beforehand.

800,000 EUR; incl. land (160,000 - 200,000 EUR)

With 600,000 including additional building costs and a slope, you could already hit a price limit/barrier with the more expensive ones.

But if no provider from my relevant set remains, then it would be difficult. The concern is simply that I might end up with an architect’s design that can’t be realized.

That won’t be a problem, since it will only be a planning draft, not a detailed execution plan.

Our seller recommended the architect to us based on our ideas / wishes (our architect had, for example, designed a house that we had mentioned as an example of what we like). It helps if the architect knows the construction method in detail (to avoid later challenges with, for example, structural engineering), so from my point of view it does make sense if the house company and the architect know each other. I didn't see any conflict of interest there, but others here might see it differently. We had decided on the house company itself very early on.

If you have very specific sustainability requirements that deviate from the standard, you could already clarify whether there is a local in-house provider who can actually fulfill this and also guarantee it in writing. If not, the only options left are the architect or a deviation from your expectations because these are not feasible.
