Semi-detached house: two contracts (landowner and construction company)

The investor sells you the land and the contract for work is then concluded with the builder (client). I think the agency that markets it will be factored in.

That may be so, but: if I say neutrally the "end customer" (even though I tend to think that you can probably be seen here as the client - even if not free to choose the general contractor) buys parts from two parties (namely the land from the investor and the development from the marketer), what then makes the marketer powerful enough to guarantee you the capped total price?

Hello everyone, thanks again for your advice. Basically, I was just about to accept, but I have done some thorough research again which is why I probably won’t do it after all. The construction company, which also acts as the client, has existed for 2 years. So far, so good. However, it seems that they have gone bankrupt more than once. Sure, I think that can happen in the construction business. There are so many factors involved. But why they operate several GmbHs and UGs that sometimes have the same business purpose I don’t understand and makes everything a bit unclear for me. Therefore, I will probably keep my distance after all.

No, even in the construction business that cannot happen just because it is a construction business. Whoever goes bankrupt multiple times has no place in the market, because it is not the circumstances or others to blame for the misery. Simply put, an idiot is handling it.

That is quite normal for larger enterprises. For each project, a separate company.

Ok, so that means that such a portfolio of companies is common. I just noticed that there isn’t really anything finished to look at from the company yet. So far, everything is just references to projects. Some have been started, but nothing finished yet. But there are some very large projects.

Well, keeping a distance may certainly be safer, but whether it is also the best choice here – who knows... You can (and should) be helped. After all, the children keep growing while dad is looking for and having a hard time finding a home of his own.

sure, you never know, ideally everything goes well. It’s always a certain risk. But with such amounts, if it goes wrong, it’s quite bitter. I always think part of it is also gut feeling in such cases. If that’s not right, it’s difficult. Basically, you’re of course right. It’s a race against time and sure, the kids are growing up. I’m keeping my eyes open anyway.
