You can never be 100% fully insured. Even a home savings contract normally includes a clause stating that it does not guarantee absolute freedom from defects. But with plenty of research before the start of construction, keeping a watchful eye on the construction site, and if necessary, a home savings contract as an external advisor, you can minimize the risks very well.

Regarding the fixed price guarantee, well: We also have a fixed price guarantee for our trades. However, it does not apply to pattern selection. To get a realistic house price, I would start contacting various providers early and factor in possible additional costs. Please don’t forget stair pattern selection. Oak stair treads instead of beech can easily cost a four-digit sum (what a pun...).

When choosing our general contractor, it was especially important to me that he is reachable and also takes our wishes into account. It’s no use to me if my wish to mount the toilet to the ceiling is carried out "because the customer wants it that way." I wanted someone who also tells me that something like that is possible but insane. Actually, you notice something like that during the first meeting.
