I have also been in talks with such a company before. On the one hand, it is their attempt to create more trust through external inspections while still providing everything from a single source. You should basically assume independence from TÜV. On the other hand, the company probably knows the guy from TÜV personally and they are on a first-name basis.
If the guy does his job properly, he still remains objective (theory says so). Ultimately, I think it also depends on the person himself.
Intuitively, I would not consider another expert necessary. However, I would still clarify the question of whether (if KfW55 is desired) this TÜV is eligible for subsidies.
Definitely that. I was rather inclined to try to remove the item from the contract and re-include it with the classic wording "will be carried out by the builder." That way the company can still say it has itself inspected. But I have the certainty that I am directly the client and thus objectivity is guaranteed (of course then it won’t be TÜV).
