Good day dear community,
as I have often written, we are currently building and are happy to soon have our own home.
A semi-detached house with 148 sqm in KfW55 standard is being built.
According to the builder, we are allowed to carry out our trades ourselves. In other words: to look for the appropriate craftsmen ourselves.
Now we have done this three times and the builder was not pleased about it. No idea if they receive a commission or something similar, but we save a lot of money! The differences amount to between €2000 - €4000 compared to the builder's craftsmen.
It was also noticed that we are being quite pressured.
Our trades in self-performance were all within the builder's process.
Now I am asking myself which documents are needed for an energy certificate..?
It is clear that the U-values of the windows and the insulation play a major role.
These have been submitted, including a specialist contractor declaration from the craftsman.
Now my builder or supposedly the structural engineer wants an invoice as well as the order from our own trades.
Is that normal??? Why do they care at all?
They want to see the figures openly on the table. That's what the builder tells me.
Can you tell me if this is usual? Are there different stages of verification?
