I don’t quite understand :D of course, the other additional items have also been taken into account (e.g. whether or not the lift-and-slide door is included, which makes the value easier to determine). However, we cannot assess that here.
In general, it is difficult to compare anyway because the construction methods also differ, etc.

What about the items that are not included? :cool:

Hmm. If they are listed in one and not in the other, it’s easy to find out. However, we will probably create a scope of services with our architect again and obtain more offers or have the existing ones updated. It’s all too unclear to me. Since the building application proceeds regardless and it often takes 6 months for approval, we still have time in this regard. All the crazy price increases are already factored in by the contractors anyway; they’re not stupid…

Construction service descriptions are not changed or updated individually. They are legally reviewed so that they cannot be contested. What you mean is to expand it with additional items so that it is coherent for you. But with every general contractor, the surcharges are different, hardly comparable, except for all the house costs _overall_. Since I assume that bids at a similar price level were considered, I warn against judging only by the price and requesting too many. A selection should have already been made beforehand; otherwise, mathematically, one will never reach the goal of satisfaction. The partner must also be a good fit mentally.

Not willingly, yes. But that is actually no different than coming with your own construction service description from the start (which I basically recommend). General contractors who send every client away for having their own construction service description could soon be out of business.

Yes, thanks, that was more or less what I meant. The individual surcharge is of course not relevant here either. Our architect's concept also involves preselected GCs.

I also think it doesn’t hurt to get two more offers (were recommended to us by the construction advisor, one of the GCs is also on our architect’s list (he has a rating system for whom he tenders to…)). We liked one company quite a bit, but the contract/offer doesn’t suit us 100% so far (too many details, e.g. requiring a security deposit or retaining less for final acceptance). We are still negotiating that.
Originally, we would have done it with our own scope of work anyway, but got a bit nervous because of rising construction costs. But I now think that the increases are already priced in and we haven’t yet seen any proper fixed-price contracts.
Basically, the offers are as expected, simply hard to compare.
A bit of competition never hurts; we will find some GC anyway.
In one’s own scope of work, formulations like: masonry according to the GC’s scope of work also find their way in.
