I myself have offered such a business model for years. However, with a focus on KfW-funded fixed-price renovation with an extension and an annex. Possibly also new buildings. However, all were "self-build entrepreneurs." The law knows the "entrepreneur of non-commercial construction work." Both terms are known to almost every building owner who performs self-help work and is contacted by the professional association.
That means I took care of everything with my own craftsmen or regional companies that the building owner did not dare to do themselves. I always worked myself as well because I have always enjoyed practicing my craft profession. And of course, you work with companies you have known for years or, as far as building services are concerned, with regional companies so that a quick response is possible in an emergency. Or companies well known to the building owner.
How an architect is positioned is known from their chamber registration. Basically, two forms are possible here: freelance or commercial.
The LV is also legally correct and clear here. Because the properties of the components are only determined with the corresponding certificates before the start of construction. That means the prices are a contractor risk with the fixed price. However, anyone with some experience will be able to fall back on their own unit prices for calculation.
In new construction, this is hardly a problem anyway, at least as long as the building owner is not standing on the foundation slab announcing that the house is way too small and she imagined it much bigger. Okay, the moment when building owners realize how mentally resilient they have to be with self-help work. But that is another topic,...
Since I am "old school" myself, I really did not have time to draw up long contracts. I can only advise everyone to ask for references and talk to former building owners, as long as they are NOT show homes. Looking back, 95% of my projects were recommendations/word of mouth from the building owners.
Besides, there will rarely be a building owner who does not know a story about their construction project and does not like to tell it.
