Expansion house or turnkey

Then I would really approach small companies and not large ones. You need flexibility. The carpentry or masonry company, which in addition to extensions and garages builds 3 houses a year, can offer you that better. Taking out individual trades and then not again does not fit into the workflow of large construction companies.

Yvonne, you are seeing this too negatively. Here in the forum, most are head-driven, in the new development areas of Schleswig Holstein it swarms with self-made builders. My way with your knowledge and contacts: Talk to a master bricklayer who will design and calculate the shell construction for you and set it up, preferably with roof and windows. Then attack and do the rest alone. Local banks and savings banks also finance this based on invoices and with photos of the construction progress, if they know you. Warranty, screw that, your firefighter comrade won’t botch it for you, and if he does, you don’t need paper to get him to redo it. Its a Question of Honour. That’s how my neighbor diagonally opposite here raised a proud house for 150,000. Also in only 7-8 months. How else should a journeyman carpenter get a house! this way or not at all. K.

Then that came across wrong.

That may be because,

I only explained why so few shell houses are discussed here.
Unfortunately, since the last update my phone also cuts off lines when writing... so I wanted to here:

The others do, in addition to the nowadays obligatory EL of flooring and painting work, also doors or attic expansion.

... but they don't call it a shell house.

The conditions are good, and so I recommend an architect-designed house, not a general contractor (GC).
Because a GC is only good if you appreciate the positive sides.
And I do not see those in a self-construction.

Just as Nordlys describes it, it still often runs like that for us in rural Bavaria.

It is becoming increasingly rare. But it is not exotic yet.

In our new development area, every second house is built this tall. But for these people, the word Forum is about 90% of the time more like a foreign word. Therefore, you will rarely read about such a project here.

Procedure pattern: Master mason is authorized to submit and has an engineer on hand for structural analysis and energy saving ordinance. Boom, building application already safe. For the rest, he recommends companies he knows from collaboration. There, you get several offers if needed or just do it yourself. You have to be aware that these will mostly be 08/15 houses, which neither have extraordinary features nor shine through innovation. However, the craftsmen usually know each other, they communicate across trades, and they are accessible.

And believe me, it is even quite comfortable to live in such houses. Everyone has been more than satisfied so far and at this price per square meter, some people get teary-eyed here.
