Hello,
I just wanted to generally ask around how your experiences have been when obtaining offers regarding the fact that you first had to sign a planning contract / work contract (in the field of construction companies) before receiving a more detailed cost estimate / offer.
We ourselves only really approached and made an effort with a few construction companies, as we had already "sorted out" some beforehand. Also based on gut feeling or after phone calls. With 2 out of 3 construction companies, we were first supposed to sign a planning / work contract, from which we could withdraw within a period of X free of charge. Strangely enough, this still ultimately always ended with "planning costs" of up to 1800 € or more.
Therefore, I wonder how I am supposed to "compare" as an interested party if almost everyone holds a planning / work contract under my nose before I get a more detailed offer regarding the costs?
On the one hand, I can understand that it is of course an effort to create various drawings and make a more accurate cost calculation. But it can't be the be-all and end-all that this makes it impossible to compare construction companies ...?
