Hello dear community
My partner and I want to make our wish come true and have our "dream house" built by a construction company in the NRW area (Essen, Bottrop, Gladbeck, Gelsenkirchen, Dinslaken, Marl, Wesel, Rheinberg, Velbert etc.). We have already sifted through numerous websites and have also had various conversations with construction companies (Allkauf Haus, Okal Haus, Bien-Zienker, Fingerhaus and Hanse Haus, and others).
Some could already be excluded due to antipathy... In the end, three providers (Allkauf Haus, Okal Haus and Bien-Zenker) remained in the race, and after further research on the internet (experience reports, groups on FB, etc.) the two providers from DFH ended up being extremely questionable for us, because one picks up so much negative feedback. Much, however, also comes from other building regions and not in NRW. And since you shouldn’t paint everyone with the same brush and in almost all respects mostly negative rather than positive reports are written, we wanted to inquire whether there are perhaps builders who were supported by the Wuppertal location and what the experiences are? We have received tailored offers from both DFH providers and in both it was openly and honestly communicated that additional construction incidental costs (approx. 25-40k), land costs (since we do not have any yet) + purchase incidental costs (notary, land registration, and real estate transfer tax = approx. 10% of the land price + possibly broker commission) will be added. Additionally, +/- 25,000 euros will be added to the offer price, as we would like to build "turnkey" and for that the labor costs have to be calculated - which, however, depend on the choice of finishes etc. Also, extra wishes such as an extension winter garden (13,270 euros), chimney including rain hood and wood stove (approx. 6,180 €), electronically controlled shutters on the upper floor (249 €/window), extra WC/shower (approx. 3,000 €) and the information that on average 5,000 € for customization will be added were communicated to us, which overall gave us a positive impression. Then there are also the bonuses: a kitchen from 3 variants, voucher for floor and stairs for special equipment and in the construction incidental costs 40k a garden package valued at 6,000 euros is already included... Thus, we would be at a price of a total of 332,013.00 euros (including construction incidental costs), which sounds good so far.
Has anyone here built with one of the DFH groups and can say how much extra cost one should still expect or whether the stated costs are generally correct?
A second conversation with another provider Bien-Zenker is still pending. With this one we will only then find out what the offer price of the house tailored to us is.
Best regards
Tami and Daniel
