I think you should make another post here where all the information is summarized. I have been following this from the beginning and somehow it feels a bit like playing blind man's buff. Whenever a keyword is thrown in, you always provide new information. This makes it very difficult to give an unbiased opinion about your project. I find the development so far very confusing: 1. Inquiry about financing house, construction with construction company/general contractor (GU) -> 2. Enormous personal contributions planned and acknowledged by GU -> 3. Tiler is now being sought by yourself(?) -> 4. Architect has already completely planned the house.
Just list who is responsible for what in your case and what you can definitely do 100% by yourself or by contracting out personally. In my opinion, it is quite a different matter in terms of reliability whether a GU says "costs 10k euros" or if you have researched material prices for work you do yourself. And only when this is broken down can your initial post be answered somewhat properly.
Yes, unfortunately I cannot edit the original post, otherwise I would have added all the information.
Regarding 1. Initially, I just wanted to hear what you think about the ratio of income to planned installment/loan amount. At that time, the discussion about HOW we would get the house and land into this budget was not even on the table. That only developed later.
Regarding 2. and 3. That is the case, and I communicated it that way when the topic "HOW do we get the house and land into the budget" came up. The construction company has local craftsmen they work with. ONLY the tiler is currently missing because his preferred one has retired. Therefore, we asked a reliable acquaintance from our town.
Regarding 4. Yes, he has, and since initially it was only about the ratio of income <-> loan installment => feasibility, it was not even up for discussion.
It is not really that confusing, but the thread has naturally evolved and partly gotten lost in details, which I don’t mind because forgetting details can become very expensive. In this respect, I have taken away a lot from the course of the discussion here that I definitely still have to pay attention to.
Listing in a separate post follows.
