How much savings through building materials to quasi-wholesale equity?

Hello everyone,

I also asked during our complete renovation of the 200m2 house in Hannover if I was allowed to supply materials. It was always confirmed with the note that the warranty would then only be limited. We then did not do it. You have to consider that if you supply materials, they must also be there, otherwise you will get further problems and don't forget, the tradesmen currently do not need to discuss material (costs) with you. They simply hand the work over to the next...

Regards

You probably won't save anything at all and won't find a craftsman.

The headline should rather be, "A Swabian builds in the Black Forest". :D
seriously, only you know the x and xx and pure service providers as craftsmen will hardly exist.
(You also bring the oil for the oil change to the workshop? Those comrades really exist.)

I am one of them. Why should I pay 30 euros for a liter of motor oil? I don't see that at all...

On the subject: Our bricklayer wants us to order the materials. According to the architect, this saves a decent margin that the contractor normally has in the calculation. I think it depends on the trade and the individual company. You can't generalize.

Hello Johnny82,

Google "geldwerter Vorteil".

Our mason wishes for us to order the material.

This makes me fear that someone in the trade does not want to leave any traces that could allow projections of their service sales...

That makes me fear that someone in trading doesn’t want to leave any traces that could enable estimates of their service revenue ...

That could well be one reason. But there are certainly other reasons for self-employed people who have absolutely no "administration" ... no administrative effort (driving around, making phone calls, placing orders, checking invoices, paying invoices), no capital tie-up ... just go there, do the masonry, and then go home and leave all the other stuff to the client .... After all, the day only has 24 hours.
