Hello, to compare the two offers, you have to do much more than that: You only look at the price at the bottom right and the word "turnkey". But that doesn't help you, since turnkey is not explicitly defined. You have to compare the construction service descriptions (Bauleistungsbeschreibung) exactly.
Thank you very much for your answers. The problem for a proper comparison is that I am missing the construction service description from the prefabricated house provider; so far, he hasn’t given a proper offer but handwritten numbers on graph paper ;) Overall, the offer and the equipment for the prefab house sound good, but the consultant, in my feeling, pushed too much towards signing the contract. That just seems too unprofessional in a first(!) conversation.
So, to summarize, there are no objections to building with Ytong? Our idea was also to simply wait at least half a year to a whole year with the exterior plaster so the walls have more time to dry.
A wooden house would still be an idea; this wasn’t even up for discussion before.
A ventilation system was also on the wish list for the solid house, we need to include that in the offer again.
Overall, the time and willingness to inform oneself are definitely there, but when it comes to house construction, there are so many different opinions that one gets the feeling everyone just has their favorite, and in the end, that one is simply better off. Just like heating installer X prefers to install a gas heating system and Y rather a heat pump.
But the advice to involve a consultant before building is also good advice. ;)
