@milki and @doc.schnaggels

You are both so terribly right!!!

It won’t work this time either. We really have to stop thinking about the desire for a bungalow.

Now the question is, how high? So one and a half or 2 full stories and the roof unfinished as always with a basement!

Dang it.....this is enough to make you cry.

Well....nothing helps.

Thanks for your suggestions!!!

PS: Doc.Schnaggels.......we have also been to Fellbach. Schwörerhaus really appealed to us, at least you felt that Schwörerhaus offered a different, better quality and high-end standards. But we want to build solid....simply because of the old mindset....solid is solid and timber prefabricated construction has a woody feel

Well, whether it is 2 full floors or one and a half floors, no one can make that decision for you.

It may even be specified for you - depending on the development plan for the desired plot...

At the beginning of our "decision process" regarding the type of house construction, I thought similarly, but during our very extensive information phase, I changed my mind by 180°.

Since I know that a (high-quality) timber frame prefabricated house, with the same wall thickness, is even better insulated than a solid house and that the banks rate both construction concepts equally in terms of value, I ultimately decided in favor of a prefabricated house.

What I especially liked was the subtly perceptible smell of wood.

After all, the oldest houses here with us are the half-timbered houses – a timber frame prefabricated house is not so terribly different in its basic framework...

Questions / comments are very welcome.

... and since both banks rated the value of the two construction concepts equally, I ultimately decided on a prefab house.

Most banks differentiate when it comes to prefab houses. There are the solid prefab houses (Weberhaus is of course included), which are fully financed, and the less solid ones (usually the cheaper prefab houses).

Hello!

May I ask what that is supposed to cost? What is your project?? Single-family house 1 1/2 stories, dormers, garage, landscaping, etc.???

Can someone explain the securities from the developers to me? Most write 5% through a bank guarantee.....is that then if possibly damages happen after moving in?? What am I supposed to do with 5%??? That's peanuts!!! Or does this only apply to completion, some kind of contractual penalty? I don't understand anything here anymore......then there's, for example, town & C**** who say something about 20%....sounds good and secure, right?!? Or is that a scam???

Guys, I'm scared

Hello,

I assume you mean a type of completion bond. This means that you can call up those 5% of the construction sum from the issuing bank if the company does not complete the house (e.g., because of insolvency...).

Since the price is usually paid according to construction progress, this can be a pretty good solution.

Town & Country I only know by hearsay – but you can read quite a bit about it here in the forum...

However, you don’t need to be afraid – if you prepare yourself properly and consistently pay attention to everything happening on your construction site and around it, you can quite well limit the risks.

Regards,

Dirk
