Floor plan design single-family house (city villa 140 sqm) on a slope with double garage

No, that’s nonsense. Almost every provider does everything today, and individually at that. In my opinion, prefab home providers are a bit less flexible than the general contractors. I have no experience with architects. Today, I would build with an architect because now I have some idea of how things work. When I was as clueless as you, I was glad that the general contractor really took care of everything and every little detail for us until we moved in.

So you would also choose the architect! That is also an extreme help to me! One thing I still haven’t understood, what is the difference between a general contractor and a prefab home provider?

Hops and malt? Tell me, are we your Google or what? Get your own backside off the couch. I'm out. Should have done it much earlier.

And who is supposed to participate in sampling the way you imagine it? That you imagine it yourself is clear. But almost no provider goes along with that.

So for example bathroom: corner bathtub, fully tiled up to the top, double washbasin, etc. then later, according to your statement, I know what I want and can compare it with the LB. If something is missing, it has to be updated. Didn’t you suggest that earlier to calculate the costs?

So you would also take the architect! That is an extreme help to me as well! But one thing I still haven't understood, what is the difference between a general contractor and a prefab house provider?

No, in your place I would take the general contractor. I myself would choose the architect today, since I am no longer as ignorant as before the house construction. But ultimately it mainly depends on the personal gut feeling and the chemistry with the site manager / architect / seller.

Hops and malt? Tell me, are we Google for you or what? Get your own backside up. I'm out. Should have done it much earlier.

My goodness, you are quite sensitive. I just found the answer here in the forum:

A general contractor (GU) builds a house on the client's property and sells the turnkey house including all trades without planning services under a work contract. The planning service is provided, for example, by an architect commissioned by the client.
-> Minimal time expenditure, costs known exactly in advance, free design/planning

In case someone else also did not understand this exactly.

GU's are general contractors who offer you full service regardless of the construction method, and you only have one contractual partner. The chemistry has to be right.

A prefabricated house provider is not always a GU. If you have to build with a basement (because it is simply cheaper), it may be that the basement cannot be built with a timber frame.
