Hello everyone,

my wife and I are currently applying for a municipal building plot, or several. Since we also live in this municipality, we will probably get a plot.

However, some construction companies are now refusing upfront to provide a concrete, turnkey offer, since we do not yet have the mentioned plot.

What are your experiences? Similar?

The order books are full. You will hardly get price quotes without a specific project. From the providers' point of view, it is much more likely that you will build with them if you already have the building plot. Once it is clear that you will get a building plot, the situation looks different: However, it must be clear which building plot. Normally, a timely purchase is also in the interest of the municipality. Therefore, after the purchase commitment, you can approach the construction companies again. Then you will also get responses.

The construction companies are simply afraid that you might come across, for example, a property with a third-party developer binding and everything would be for nothing. Unfortunately, it is currently quite a tough supplier market.

This is simply a waste of working time. Therefore, you will have to wait until you have a plot, which is also logical, as it is unlikely that you will get a plot just because you live in the municipality.

Every municipality is "preloaded" differently when it comes to the fair allocation of plots.

Our building section has 22 parcels. It was always conveyed that each parcel is allocated according to FIFO. In addition, only a written reservation with signature applies.

And what happened,

- When the info was released, 8 plots were crossed out (i.e., sold under the table)
- So when I showed up with my written document (the signed reservation confirmation) at the building authority at 8 a.m. the next day, the statement was "unfortunately, all your favored plots are gone because emails had already been received yesterday afternoon".
I would have liked to wring their necks.

You see, it’s not so easy after all!

We have an application procedure with a points system that clearly favors locals, since, for example, one-third of the maximum achievable points depend on how long one has lived in the municipality.

I myself work in sales and often have many appointments that cost time and money until an order actually comes through. I am very surprised about this myself, as we have also had appointments where developers had no problem with it.

I just found it unusual - but the times will come again when construction companies will be happy when a prospective client walks through the door.

Wow... that’s an allocation procedure I hadn’t known before ^^

In our case, there were 12 building plots marketed by the municipality. According to verbal information, there were later over 100 applicants, about half of them from the municipality. The application procedure was stopped after I think 3 or 4 weeks. Allocation was based on various factors (previous place of residence, family/children, workplace, club membership, parents/relatives, etc.)

From future neighbors I know that even after being granted the plot, they still had difficulties finding an architect or general contractor. Kind of like saying if development hasn’t even started yet, it’s too early...
