House Construction - New Building Schedule

Good day,

we had our house designed by an architect and everything is more or less finished with floor plans, structural engineering, etc.
We want to obtain the offers from the different companies ourselves to save costs.

Could someone create a schedule of procedures indicating where to go first and what needs to be considered there.
Thank you in advance.

Best regards

Who wrote the tender documents?

Could someone create a schedule indicating where to go first/where you have to go first and what needs to be considered there. Thanks in advance.

There is no ONE schedule that you have to follow. Initially, the official matters should be addressed. Building permit, drainage planning, etc. You can request offers in parallel. Who supervises and coordinates the construction project? Surveying, setting out, utility connections are all small tasks, but they need to be organized and coordinated. It reads as if you have no knowledge of construction and need to save costs. Poor approach.

The question of where to go first sounds like you want to award all trades individually? Or do you want to hire a general contractor after all?

Which service phases have you completed with the architect?
Do you already have the building permit?
Why don't you continue building together with the architect?

Both together do not work: either be a beginner or successfully save money when obtaining offers. A tender is open, high seas – there are too many sandbanks and icebergs lurking for a paddle boat driver. Methodically, it is not possible without experience, and for a first taste of "saving," I recommend googling "regie hours." These will threaten you long and dirty, cheaper by the dozen, if you combine two ingredients: 1. missing execution plans and 2. lack of experience in process planning. You have the choice between the architect’s fee, to have him do execution plans and construction management in addition to his approval plans, or paying tuition in the same amount for the foolish attempt at self-performance. The same applies in principle to the tender. On the path with an architect, you pay the money he demands – a known amount; and on the path without an architect, money in an unforeseeable amount – with a ratio of 1:5 for the probability of saving 3% or a ratio of 1:20 for the probability of saving 5%. Only very naive gamblers really do that. Saving money with self-award and self-construction management is very unlikely for first-time building owners.

Just to save costs, this is not a good idea. If quality is also to be considered, then it is.

Could someone create a schedule indicating where one should/must go first and what needs to be considered there.

Logically, it goes from bottom to top and infrastructure before finish. 1. Civil engineering 2. Structural work / carpenter 3. Windows / doors 4. Roofer 5. Electrical 6. Sanitary 7. Tiling 8. Flooring 9. Painter 10. Landscaping If interior architect: put them first. Tips: 1. Don’t take anyone who doesn’t love their job and no one whose people shout at each other or spread a bad atmosphere. 2. Take people who are excited about your project and not just your money. 3. Let your counterparty make a good margin in the negotiation. These small additional costs pay off many times over in quality and construction process. 4. Find someone for the coordination of the construction schedule. For us, it was the carpentry. 5. As a layman, learn to ask a lot and ultimately to trust.

Just to save costs, this is not a good idea. If quality is also to be considered, then it is.

In a case like yours, yes - if you put more passion into it in case of doubt, e.g. searching for the most beautiful balcony railing. But in the flair league probably meant here, I do not see it or rather the opposite: the evaluation of quality information in offer responses already has the known pitfalls like "according to standard / VOB / Building Code" where the layman suspects the personal quality seal of his imperial majesty behind it and in reality it actually only means "not better than absolutely necessary".
