Communication with the agent is always very slow, and answers to specific questions are often vague. After requesting references, we initially heard nothing from the man for two weeks, although HR Hausbau from Gründau Lieblos is no beginner in the construction business and should certainly be able to provide some proof.

Recently, we asked for the following documents:

1. Floor plans and cross-section of the building
2. Planning documents (property with building, among others)
3. Soil survey (including water contamination in the ground) and the construction description of the basement
4. Energy certificate including the thermal insulation certificate

Except for the construction description, the contract draft (with notary from the developer's side), and a few colorful floor plans, we have nothing in hand.
The agent said that the developer does not conduct a soil test and that there is no energy certificate (plan) because they build according to the 2009 Energy Saving Ordinance. Furthermore, we do not even have a cross-section of the house with measurements, and the agent also said that the building permit has not yet been applied for the detached houses.

Hello Sandy....

MY OPINION!!!
Vague answers are unacceptable, just as building without a soil survey is.
Without knowing the agent and wanting to speak badly of him, I would recommend that you address your concerns trustfully with the agent.
Then listen to your gut feeling and decide, because building is ALSO a matter of trust.
I think building a house is a fundamental decision and can ruin livelihoods; if the agent is reputable, he will play with open cards.
The planning and other documents cost money, as already mentioned by the previous comment, and unfortunately, prospective builders often take advantage of the willingness to help and build with others after the work is done. The construction industry is a shark tank, and many go over dead bodies... unfortunately. In this respect, I understand this behavior.
From experience, I also know of house providers who make these documents, like planning, available to you with the conviction that they have made a good offer.

Has anything new come up?

Hello Sandy79,

I came across your post through a Google search in connection with HR Hausbau GmbH and the project in Obertshausen. Has anything new come up for you, what conclusion have you reached? The background of my interest is that we are working on the same project you described.

Thanks and regards

Chris
