You are welcome to elaborate on this here - unfortunately, the prevailing view here is that when it comes to the number of bidders involved, the method "the more the better" leads to the best abundance of offers.

We mostly relied on recommendations from acquaintances. Then we usually obtained one offer first and, based on this offer, obtained a second one. I believe they adjust the prices depending on the workload. I hope I have understood your question correctly.

Happig is a big deviation from the plan. Whoever plans 15 months and needs 15 months has done everything right. Depending on the terrain and the start of construction, it just takes a bit longer.

and : Thanks for the report on how it turned out.

I thought maybe it’s interesting for some people because it’s about a lot of money you can save. For people who are unsure, there are building inspectors; as far as I know, there are even some from DEKRA, you just have to look around a bit. The prices vary greatly. After searching for a long time, we had a contact that would not have cost 10,000 and would have accepted every trade. Still better than giving architects and general contractors multiples of that money.

Of course, we did not conduct a public tender as private individuals but went directly to the companies.

I found it optimal. If you take it into your own hands, besides your job you also need some time to inquire about everything. And it became very apparent that everyone wants to sell what is best for them.. so it’s not bad to be well informed. My motto on the internet: if a company, for example, sells geothermal energy as the be-all and end-all, you should be somewhat skeptical.

Unfortunately, today many builders feel "natural" about playing a juror in "Germany is looking for the super contractor" and inviting all possible bidders who don’t flee fast enough to the casting. And they see it as a challenge for the bidders to be the cheapest – ideally so that the bricklayer already pays for the chimney with the price difference :-(

but went directly to the companies.

Even here I talk myself hoarse and desperately drill thick planks: often people complain (and justify the shotgun blast of inquiries by saying they have to compensate for the lack of response rate) – instead of increasing the return of offers by only asking as many bidders as one can personally contact.

Unfortunately, many builders today consider it "natural" to play a juror from "Germany's Search for the Super Builder" and invite all potential bidders who do not flee quickly enough to the casting. And they see this as a challenge for the bidders to be the cheapest – ideally so that the bricklayer already pays for their fireplace with the price difference :-(

I also keep talking until I’m blue in the face and desperately push hard topics: often there are complaints (and the barrage of shotgun-style inquiries is justified by saying that the low response rate must be compensated for) – instead of increasing the return of offers by only asking as many bidders as one can personally contact.

We went personally to every company. That way I also see right away who I’m dealing with. If the company is already sloppy ... I agree with you in everything. Much also depends on certain forums where self-proclaimed specialists and those with personal interests convince people of things that are beyond good and evil.
