Good morning!
I have been reading diligently for several days - we want to start building a single-family house soon. The plot has been purchased, the architectural planning is almost complete, and the contract drafts with the general contractor are ready. We are financing it partly with a KFW 153 loan; the house is to have a 55 standard. We have already hired the obligatory expert for the EE. He will accompany the entire construction and regularly check and discuss some EE-relevant aspects on the construction site.
Now my actual question is, is it worth getting another expert for the "general" topics beyond the EE? Important topics like insulation are already examined by the EE expert. What else can a second expert contribute during construction supervision? I am considering saving myself this and only hiring someone for the acceptance inspection. Does that make sense? The chosen general contractor has a very good reputation in our area, and acquaintances who built with him had no expert at all because they were very satisfied with the construction manager. Many thanks for your tips!
