Well, why should I write things here that aren’t true?
It’s clear that a lot is involved.
You simply choose craftsmen you know, or those recommended to you from several sides. In this case, it was a young master mason who owns the company and his father who has also worked as a mason in the area for 40 years.
These are down-to-earth people who wouldn’t even think of cheating or botching work.
Accordingly, you can negotiate a fair hourly wage with these craftsmen because they live off their reputation, not quick money.
The rest were free helpers.
That’s how it goes from the heating engineer to the tiler to the plasterer, etc.
And a few extra hours done as a "freundschaftsdienst" can be found on any healthy construction site.
Add some Vitamin B at the building material dealer. There was also a 10% discount.
10% for windows and doors because the wife of a coworker works there.
Crane and mini excavator from the uncle.
That adds up.
Of course, I also know other examples.
Both 34 years old, 120 sqm turnkey house completed in three months. The builder was hardly ever on site, only choosing the equipment in the catalog. Budgeted were 290,000. In the end, it was almost 400k. And the house was the last piece of junk.
