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.It’s just that no one here can tell me exactly how it will turn out and what I should prepare for the first meeting or for an initial inquiry.
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.
