Hello to all construction enthusiasts and professionals,
great that this forum exists. I am new here and my family has to embark on the building adventure, as one of our two daughters has a handicap and we cannot find suitable living space. Naturally, many questions arise.
So, we want to renovate an old house. In our case, this is cheaper than building new. Now we are wondering, is it cheaper to get various quotes from construction companies including materials, and then have the contract awarded to one of them, or can we save money if we find companies to do the building while we source the materials (windows, doors, roof tiles, etc.) ourselves as offers in the hardware store? - Who has experience on how to save costs without employing "Schwarzarbeiter"?
Many thanks in advance!
