General contractor in the Munich area or prefabricated house?

You have read several times that all architects and individual contracts are recommended to you. You don't build a house like that with Weberhaus and the like. How big is the house supposed to be?

I agree although I have nothing against timber frame. Weberhaus and co in that category, I also trust them. It's not done with the shell construction. I think with windows, materials, interior finishing you have a different standard. I would give preference to the craftsman who has installed the frameless whatever windows X times before. An ambitious one can certainly do it too. Only he pays the learning fee, or you do. I think is satisfied with his architect. Regarding the size, I think those two definitely take the lead.

Because you will not receive such a special and individual house with GU. GU can be customized up to a certain extent, and then it stops. The subs build standard. Sometimes bigger, sometimes smaller. But you need specialists. Especially with a [Ganzglassystem].

I share Rick's opinion here. You have very individual, great, and also exclusive wishes. In addition, you obviously have considerable financial options, and each single trade becomes high-priced, which probably also encourages good companies to submit offers.

All of this should be accompanied by an architect so that you can really fully incorporate your ideas 100%.

PS: Yes, I am very happy with our architecture firm

I apologize for the "being offended" and also recommend individual contracting with an architect. Good companies also work well with other good trades, and just because the shell construction of the prefabricated house is done by one provider in a hall, it does not mean that fewer errors occur. When it comes to "only one contact person" - you also have that with an architect.

Can you recommend an architect or a general contractor (GU)?

The question sounds as if you meant that with a GU you wouldn’t need an architect here. However, this either/or connection is wrong. According to your wishes, a freelance architect is clearly indicated here – whether he then awards to a GU or separately is another matter.

A prefabricated house is also an option for us, as we have heard many horror stories about solid houses. It is a fact that a prefabricated house is produced in a factory and thus the error rate is reduced. Since we currently have a shortage of skilled workers, we like the option when everything comes from one source so that there are no misunderstandings regarding warranties. According to Weberhaus and Keitel-Haus, 3.50 m high ceilings on the ground floor as well as windows or glass surfaces that do not correspond to the standard dimensions are feasible.

No: the fact is that even in "prefabricated construction" in the sense of "timber frame panels manufactured in halls," only a shell construction comes from the hands of the core personnel; otherwise, these providers are GUs like the bricklayers – including a comparable scope of subcontractors.

My boyfriend and I would like to build a single-family house in Bauhaus style near Munich. Since we have a high proportion of glass surfaces as well as large rooms on the ground floor with a ceiling height of 3.50 m, we fall outside the range of prefabricated house providers. Because no predetermined floor plan is acceptable to us.

I absolutely agree with the assessment that the description of the desired house does not sound like Weberhaus at all. In terms of construction standards, it could be Huf, but they rather recommend timber skeleton construction. Büdenbender could still fit.

True, Huf could manage that, including the interior construction.
