Decision aid for choosing the construction company

... which is ultimately no wonder if you don’t set out on any path or, even more: don’t even target a goal. You endlessly get tangled up with parameters, coefficients, materials, and features. The "only thing you lack" is at the same time the only ingredient you actually need: namely visions of what you even want. I told you here in post #5 that you should show your plot and fill out the questionnaire. Where would I have overlooked answers to that? Instead, you do namedropping of construction companies here and weigh wall constructions on postage scales. Not getting anywhere like this is neither bad luck nor a miracle, but simply a causal connection. Just turn the laptop towards your wife for once – she apparently is less indecisive, after all, not all three children can be Tropis ;-)

Indecisive? How are you supposed to decide here? When you decide, it is questioned.

I already showed the plot and placement in another thread, and exactly opposite gloomy predictions came up.

Actually, the placement and floor plan are fixed, however, 9/10 companies can build it like that, so the choice of company is somehow already pending. This is also linked to the choice of heating if, like us, you want everything from a single source.

That may be so, but overall I haven’t made any progress, on the contrary. I know these are all well-intentioned tips, but since I work in a completely different field professionally and am very busy there, and we also need a "timely" solution because a 3-room apartment with 3 kids is a bit "tight," I honestly don’t know how this is ever supposed to move forward if every "idea" is torn apart. Actually, the impression is this: No matter what you ask, imagine, or say: it’s never good enough. Unfortunately, not everyone is an expert. I’m a layperson in everything. When I read here, I think: everything is not good enough. Everywhere you feel you’re being coldly ripped off by every company. Yet companies like Weberhaus, Fingerhaus, Viebrockhaus, etc... build dozens of houses per year and somehow people are satisfied? So apparently, for many people, it simply seems good enough. That’s not the standard here, of course, but for someone like me, it’s just frustrating. If you write here "We are building with / Fingerhaus / Gussek Haus etc.," you get torn apart.

I don’t even dare to ask about heating anymore because I get 5 pages of comments telling me I have to read and understand everything first. But to be honest, I will never understand or need to understand how a heat pump works.

I can very well understand how you feel – I feel the same! No matter which provider, no matter the technology for walls, heating, or general approach: 90% of what is reported is only bad. Unfortunately, you don’t hear about the many satisfied customers – it’s very comparable to Amazon reviews. Either 5 stars "top, great" or 1 star "never again, complete disaster." The fact that 95% of people are probably in between, with only minor issues but are overall quite satisfied, is not seen. Today I read a lot on specific homebuilder sites on the blue social media platform (Streif Haus house, among others) and it’s exactly the same there --> "Never again with them" vs "Today key handover, everything was perfect."

Yes, name me various cosmetic brands, and only Nivea comes up

No matter which provider, no matter which technology for walls, heating or general approach: 90% of the reports are only negative.

I'm actually a bit confused: I read a lot. And I can't remember anyone badmouthing a company and giving only one star. Mostly, it is advised to also look regionally because the price-performance ratio is better and the general contractor is reachable. Maybe I was sitting on some cloud for 20 pages and missed the one-star reviews. Then it started with wall construction (as if when eating paella you decide in which order onions and garlic are fried), it was also advised: take what your beloved structural engineer recommends. Then came the topic of KfW, there it was advised to plan the house first. One step at a time.

There are enough threads here on these individual topics. You can spend the whole Christmas holidays reading up on the knowledge. But for the topic "which house building company – Weberhaus, Viebrockhaus etc.?," the answer is simply: look around your area, there the overall package is more likely to be right. And if you don't feel like that, please go to the FH parks and listen to what the salespeople have to say and decide. And it doesn't matter which wall construction reaches KfW40. They promote their wall construction anyway.

And then someone may want to help you and has to realize that the profile is limited and you cannot read the construction location.

I already showed the property and placement in another thread, where exactly the opposite gloomy forecasts were made.

There was a question directed at you that you did not answer. I have posted a link from the forum for you among many.
I wonder why people are so reluctant to answer questions. We do!
As if a forum robs you of your soul or your wife, as soon as she is named. You simply cannot give a personal tip to strangers. And if you don't want to reveal the personal, then you just have to build uniform with the biggest one who spends the most on advertising. That wouldn't be a problem either.

I used to think that naively as well

There was a demand directed at you that you did not answer. I have posted a link from the forum among many. I wonder why people are so reluctant to answer questions. We do it too! As if a forum would steal your soul or your wife as soon as she is named. You simply can’t give personal advice to strangers. And if you don’t want to reveal the personal, then you just have to build uniformly with the biggest one who spends the most on advertising. That wouldn’t be a problem either.

I like to see which question that was.

Joker. We don’t know the floor plan yet, so how are we supposed to guess that it is already "fixed"? – so far, it only exists for us as a black box, which, according to the text has 9 x 10 and according to the drawing 12 x 7.5 m of floor area. And where, pray tell, have you a) made a decision or b) have I "gloomily" predicted the opposite here:

By the way, I find a roof placement without a house just as pointless as house planning without a plot.

And with the heating you completely contradict yourself: everything from a single source would mean taking it according to the standard that the general contractor proposes and his heating installer masters – instead, you are opening the can of worms with brand names again.
