Is it possible to obtain offers before input planning?

That is why you have conversations accordingly and see if everything fits. The rough cost planning should also be provided to you by a [GU]. But back to your question - yes, of course you can already start looking for conversations.

Thank you danixf for your answers.

Of course, you can already request offers before approval. With the architect, it should not happen that the house changes significantly during the approval process. So, the house should remain dimensionally accurate in all trades according to the current planning. Whether the pantry door shifts or not does not change the price.

Hello frsytiwo, I am a self-employed construction consultant and found your question interesting, so here is my answer: I would recommend that if you are building with a general contractor, have the contract reviewed by a lawyer. Without this legal review, it can happen that you end up with something you don’t want!!! Better to invest 1000 euros in a lawyer than to later argue with the GC that the construction did not go well.

Furthermore, you can easily present the plans to craftsmen. They will then create an offer based on these plans (if anything changes in the plans, you must inform the craftsman immediately in writing).

Hiring an architect to create the plans was a good decision if you don’t know much about it. However, if you now want to work with a GC (please make sure that this is not a bad apple), you no longer need the architect. Instead, visit your construction site yourself to see what is going on. That way you can immediately notice if something is wrong or if something is being built that you did not want.
