That’s the point where the architect comes into play. On the other hand, the company you ask can’t tell you how it will turn out either, because they don’t know exactly how you want to build now. Which walls are load-bearing, are concrete walls possibly necessary? How much steel do you need for the ceilings – have loads been calculated? ETICS or facing brick or just plaster? Which bricks or inside preferably drywall? What kind of foundation is necessary? Etc.

If you can frame your inquiry so well that you get an offer that doesn’t have a 50% variance between your planning and the actual construction, you should become an architect. There’s a reason why you have to study for this and why 99% of all house plans are made by professionals. Even if you brood over your design for 100 hours and consider it perfect, you can assume it isn’t and a professional still has improvements. So why not just go directly to the architect? It costs a few euros, but you seem to want to save money after all. Then use the potential of an architect from the start and don’t pay to learn your lesson later.

Almost everyone has concrete ideas



That doesn't mean they have to be good



Very few need that



Almost everyone does



That doesn't mean it has to be usable and functional as well as feasible
.........

You present yourself as if you distinguish yourself from other builders in a more positive and thoughtful way.

Have you ever read one thing or another here? There are a lot of smart builders here who are more or less well informed about their house construction. And most appreciate the skills of a professional and disagree that you only need an architect to read a development plan

Interesting that a financial advisor ranks all jobs in construction above others. Sounds really like a standard and that you don’t need an architect.

The next step would actually be to publish your sketches here in the forum. You might kill two birds with one stone. You can use the collective intelligence and experience of the forum, and 1-2 architects are surely silent readers here and would be happy to get in touch with you.

Yes, I will do that. But first, tomorrow I am going to the free building consultation at the building authority. Then this and next week I will visit various construction companies. Appointments for preliminary discussions are quite easy to get. A rough calculation in my rough planning case was also promised. I am avoiding architects for the time being after many pointed out the potential immediate costs during the initial meeting.
