Good evening,

we are planning to build soon. We will build with a GÜ and so far have a good impression. Another family in the same development has just built with the company and could only report positive experiences.

We have now told the company that we would like to do the selection before the building contract is signed. Tendenziell ist es ja eher so, dass nach einem unterschriebenen Vertrag die Kosten für Sonderwünsche steigen. The construction company now says that a selection before signing is excluded.

When we were still in the offer phase and spoke with other companies (GU and GÜ), many said on their own that a selection before signing the contract was possible.

What are your experiences, were you able to make selections before signing?

Thanks

Marko

We were invited to the factory and the sampling before signing the contract. We were then able to get an overview of surcharges. However, a complete sampling was not possible, which I can also understand. A bathroom and electrical planning is carried out there along with other things, which takes a total of 2 days. No one can manage that during acquisition.

Hi Marko,
we were able to look at the sample center of our GÜ beforehand and also ask about additional charges. We did not do a complete sampling with really all the details. That would also be difficult, it takes at least a whole day.

Best regards,

Andreas

You can already include the expensive special requests in the standard contract, then only small items will remain in the [Bemusterung].

What expensive special requests have you had samples of in advance?

I should also mention that the company has at least already received the planning contract from us. We would have to pay a low four-figure amount if the contract does not materialize. In this respect, they already have some assurance that we would also sign the contract after the sampling.

Electric shutters, fireplace, the complete removal of doors and parquet from the scope of services, execution of the staircase. These are the bigger items. Whether the tiles in the bathroom cost 5 or 10 € more or less is totally trivial and actually not of any further interest.
