Concrete offer for turnkey only with land ownership?

I know, it's called the local resident model.

Just because it's not called fifo now but local resident model doesn't mean it has to run in order. I hope you understand what I mean. You won't find out anyway why you might not get a plot.
It's like with a job application, rejection without a precise reason.
And if you don't have children, it won't work anyway.

How many plots are there and how many interested parties?

Wow...this is a selection procedure that I hadn't encountered like this before ^^

We had 12 building plots that were marketed by the municipality. According to verbal information, there were over 100 applicants afterwards, about half of them from the municipality. The application process 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.)
I know from future neighbors that even after being promised a building plot, they still had difficulties finding an architect or general contractor. Sort of like, if development work hasn't even started yet, it's too early...

It wasn't funny. I had to definitively reserve one of the few remaining plots on site without consulting my wife.

There are a total of nine semi-detached and 22 terraced house plots. Strangely, about 50 applications so far. But it’s still open until 01/31.

According to the building authority clerk (the only one in the building authority), it shouldn’t be a problem with our score.

I do understand what you mean – but there is still so much dead time until the final allocation in mid-March, which we want to use sensibly before the "rush" on the construction companies begins. We just wanted to start as soon as possible after the completion of the development.

Has the development already begun?

Just out of interest: how does it work with terraced and semi-detached houses if everyone hires their own construction company?

Whether it makes sense or not that with RH or DH development everyone does their own thing, a concrete offer means that the building plot is fixed with its substance (soil report) and its orientation. How is a builder supposed to give you a concrete offer if all of that is uncertain? A concrete offer means it is fixed, a "turnkey" offer that is valid for a certain period of time that you can rely on. The development may still take a few months, as will the surveying. The dead time is well usable if you roughly set your financing framework, i.e., the limit, and think about the house style, nice-to-haves, and no-gos. Visit model homes and enjoy the time. Look in new development areas at how others have designed their front gardens. Read through this forum, etc. You shouldn’t choose a builder just based on the price, but on quality. The storm and stress time will come soon enough.
