Initial floor plan on graph paper: slope, basement + 2 floors.

I think you are underestimating the costs of the basement in your calculation. It is completely within the thermal envelope. Even including the garage?

What I already wrote in post #52... but nobody listens to me :cool:

The basement should be removed from the thermal envelope and the exterior walls should be stacked on top of each other, this should be examined.

I also see the basement as a major financial component. Including garage 100 sqm, which most builders forego and yet still have to pay 400000/450000. Well, and then the edge surcharges...

Well, and then the edge surcharges...

Well, I also find the stepped return unsuccessful and unnecessary.

Sure, gladly! :)

The two mentioned general contractors are currently preparing the offer. GU1 addresses practically everything, asks targeted questions about any issues, and has ideas of their own that we hadn't thought of.
The planning with GU2 is progressing a bit more slowly and is somewhat delayed for various reasons. In our region, at least among the clients we have spoken to, they have a reputation that is not inexpensive but very good in terms of quality.
With GU3, things are moving very sluggishly. We wanted to arrange an initial meeting at the beginning of January. This was only promised to us for mid-February with reference to the lockdown. The appointment has now been postponed again to mid-March. Our request for a telephone initial meeting or even via video conference was not addressed. Well, on the other hand, their homepage is new now. For these reasons alone, I would have already ruled them out. However, good friends built with them and were very satisfied.

The two prefabricated house providers are completely out of the running.

As soon as the first offers with the concrete plans come in, I will get back to you.

I’m writing another update.

After the offer with the floor plan from #60, GU1 contacted us on their own initiative to inform us that a calculation error had occurred and they wanted to re-plan. We then received this offer last week.

I reached out to GU2 last weekend since we approved the very good draft for calculation exactly one month ago. They replied that they hadn’t had time for a calculation so far and would now (without specifying a concrete date) start working on it.

We had our initial meeting with GU3 two weeks ago. Our contact there made a good impression, was very knowledgeable, and took time. However, he mentioned about two weeks for the draft and then another two months for the calculation. We have concerns about whether the timing will even work out.

We made our decision yesterday. It will be the general contractor who started out with the worst conditions (unknown to us, no "client experience" from friends/acquaintances/new development inquiries, pure recommendation via this forum, initial interview only because another favored general contractor directly declined us). Here, the chemistry was great from the very first meeting. In many respects, we have the impression that the boss is not looking for the easiest solution, but the most sensible one. Even though he was less well received here, the floor plan from #59 remains.
