Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

I don't find the sink right next to the bench very practical. Little counter space and splashes in the seating area?

But if I go to a kitchen studio and clearly say that I already have two final negotiated comparable offers and in the end I will choose the offer that is the cheapest, and I also tell him that I am not very keen on a lengthy negotiation process with phone calls etc., the seller should then directly name his best price in order to have a chance of winning the contract, right?

We bought our kitchen from a small owner-run kitchen studio two years ago. The offer came with all discounts deducted and included free indefinite storage of the kitchen if the new building wasn’t ready yet. Appliances from Bosch. U-shaped kitchen with peninsula. Cost: 11k Euros. I will never go anywhere else in the future. That is serious selling. If someone comes with "I have to ask my boss," I’m gone.

Exactly, and that seems to be becoming established. In 2017, you only heard about the kitchen studio through recommendation. Now it feels like almost every kitchen from them is in our village. There is a dedicated studio in our village, one in the neighboring town, and of course the big furniture stores in the surrounding cities.

What material does the country house front have, ... painted wood? Then I would review the planning again, for example, 3x80 base cabinets should be cheaper than 4x60 base cabinets. If it is wood, it is probably planned, for example, that the visible sides of the bench are also in wood. Etc.

I think painted wood, but I am not sure. It is called Nobilia Chalet. Painted is stated on the website, but whether it is wood?

I have also installed Bosch dishwashers. Identical in design to Siemens and Neff. You can't trust any of these brands and certainly shouldn't pay more for them.

The device is from 2018. Six months ago, the heating pump was defective and last week a flow valve. Fortunately, I was able to repair both myself. However, this has nothing to do with reliable brand quality that would even remotely justify a higher price.
