Civil Engineer vs. Architect vs. General Contractor

Little time, so: Find a local, well-connected civil engineer with a permit and you can plan your house individually with him. This way you keep the costs permanently under control AND can freely plan your house in every area.

This beats the architect on the cost side and the GU on the cost and planning side.

Anyone who wants can gladly thank me ‍♂️

Wow... good idea...

Really, what a hidden gem oO..

How many houses have you practically built and why did you not share this information? Additional question: Why is it then - in your experience - done so rarely?

You can choose.

Cynicism is when a thug beating up his victim asks: Do you like this? Should I hit you again?

Sarcastic is when the beaten person, instead of whining, replies: But of course! Once more.

The construction engineer must bill according to HOAI just like the architect. Price advantages can therefore only be achieved by omitting services. Everyone has to decide that for themselves.
