Good evening everyone,
My wife and I are currently in the planning phase of building our house. Despite the heavy demand on craftsmen, we have decided on individual trade contracts.
With the cost estimate from our architect + buffer and an upward correction of the cost estimate based on our own research, we have ultimately defined our financial framework and completed the financing.
Now we are receiving offers that I would like to discuss in order to be able to assess and evaluate them with the help of your experience.
To start with an example that somewhat surprised us: heating and plumbing. Here we had budgeted 50k for 2 bathrooms, a solar-supported gas burner boiler, solar for hot water preparation, and underfloor heating, as after an initial conversation with the gas-water installer an amount of 40-45k (including buffer) was mentioned.
The offer shows an amount of 62.5k. The price seems extremely high to me? Are there any reference values on this?
We are also still waiting for further offers, but as it probably is currently with individual trade contracts, one can be glad if someone still has time in the second half of the year.
Thank you very much for your opinions and best regards.
By the way, I would like to keep the thread going to possibly discuss the other offers here as well.
