Prefabricated house or solid house companies - budget

Sorry that I am shortening your quote like this, but I see the number here more often. My question regarding this: gross or net? Best regards and thanks

Gross.

Gross. Net net makes no sense for private builders

Maybe 10 cm more costs disproportionately more. I don't have a concrete ceiling in the house and the one on the garage was poured. The ceiling elements were finished and I accepted it that way. I was only surprised that it was not built bigger and more representative.

Yes, the ceiling elements were finished (filigree elements from a concrete plant) but not in any standard size; they were ordered to fit your garage. I don't know how the billing is then done (by square meters, cubic meters of concrete/steel, etc.), but there is definitely a linear relationship between size and price.

For me, it was not linearly logical. I know it in our purchasing department, where it occurs disproportionately often. We had our only concrete ceiling poured on site, as it connects very convolutedly to the existing building.

It depends on what you want. Generally, anything but a prefabricated house. For what they deliver, all are far too expensive. €350,000 is the cheapest offer house from Schwörerhaus. We first wanted a city villa but then came to the realization that bungalows are much better thought out. Please do not go with a small construction company; such companies go bankrupt quickly. Also, do not pay money in advance but only after the construction phase has actually been fully completed. My recommendation is Town & Country or better Heinz von Heiden. Both providers offer solid 36cm Ytong masonry. Better than 17cm bricks and lots of external thermal insulation composite systems in the form of styrofoam on top. Both act as general contractors and are your contacts for all trades. Both are very affordable at least as long as the purchase contract is not signed and the 4-week withdrawal period has not expired. My advice therefore is to plan everything completely before signing; any changes afterwards are very expensive. Also, the ground often hides unexpectedly expensive surprises. It is better to do the soil analysis before buying the house and even better before buying the plot. Furthermore, construction takes a long time. A very long time. About 2 years should be expected. At least 6 months alone lasts the building permit process at the building authority. Plenty of time to save more money. We decided on Heinz von Heiden because they offer a fixed price for their houses without any ifs or buts. Town & Country only offers the fixed price guarantee for 1 year and after that, a reasonable price increase is to be expected, since 1 year is never enough for construction.

Maybe you shouldn't present your statements directly as the absolute truth, as otherwise they might still be taken at face value by the uninformed. That of all companies Town & Country and Heinz von Heiden are so great would be new to me. They are cheap, yes, but YGWYPF. There are guarantees and insurances against the issue of insolvency or financial weakness of small providers. It's not nice, but it prevents financial damages. I will refrain from correcting the remaining claims.
