Single-family house construction description - experiences?

Fine, I have been doing this for a good 16 years; then the users here can enjoy further advice. It would be nice, however, if you - instead of a nickname - would post here with your real name, or at least introduce yourself via your profile ;)

That’s coming, I only registered two days ago, I believe.

Where you have been in this industry for 35 years, this answer puzzles me a lot. It seems you have currently forgotten that every "pot" finds its "lid." There are not only black sheep on the seller/provider side, but also on the customer side. My years in the profession have taught me that a certain character group always finds each other; it’s no different with house construction. If it were different, every builder would forego the supposed kitchen/an extra amount of sanitary equipment and instead commission independent advice both before and during the construction project. Then there wouldn’t be the abundance of construction reports you initially mentioned on TV.

We are not apart at all; on the contrary, I almost endlessly advertise for people like you apparently are. It’s not about the others. They get told what they need to hear, see my post about the complaint with the beech staircase.

You dare quite a bit, considering you don’t know the BB...

Not really, did you overlook my closing sentence of this paragraph? But 1300 € for a presumably E+1 house, slab without painter and floor coverings in a lowest-level construction description is already expensive. You yourself criticize double-glazed windows. I believe whoever installs that probably did not hide golden faucets in their construction description. I think it is probably even weaker than suspected. Read what the questioner says about the architect. There are also construction descriptions and not few of them where not even the full architectural and engineering services are included. I can name 10 companies offhand here that offer such a house for 1000 to 1150 €/m². They are even reputable. But as said, facts have to be included.

I assume this remark is directed at me. I am a mod here in the forum; about me and my performance there is an introduction on the Welcome page. Every user - you included - can form an impression of me/ my experience. I do not promote anything at all, but I do answer inquiries directed at me and also offer my help; I cannot see anything wrong with that, as long as a potential builder does not suffer financial loss as a result.

Not quite read correctly, I was surprised by your cost statements about your service and therefore asked a question and even marked it with two question marks. It has nothing to do with any impression.

Yes, see you then and best regards from Potsdam.

Maybe you should read some of my answers here in the HBF, then your superficial impression will be relativized ;)

Kind regards

Coming soon, I only registered two days ago, I believe.

Not really, did you overlook my concluding sentence of this paragraph? But €1300 for a presumably E+1 house, base slab without paint and floor coverings in a lowest construction description is quite expensive ... I can name 10 companies off the top of my head that offer such a house for €1000 to €1150/m². They are even reputable. But as I said, facts must be provided.

Not quite read correctly, I wondered about your cost information in relation to your services and therefore asked a question, even marked with two question marks. Has nothing to do with any impression.

Yes, see you then and best regards from Potsdam.

Hello,

you should practice quoting again :D
Exactly!!!!!!!

Great, that also prevents chatterboxes ;)
But now I’m going on a tour for almost a week!!!!!

I’m always cautious with public assumptions even if my gut signals otherwise.
Maybe I’m a bit bolder!!!!!!

The quoted user talks about tiles and laminate being installed, parts of the outdoor facilities are already included in the price.
Right, but I have already deducted those and the tiles are usually the standard amount anyway!!!

I only work with small to medium construction companies because there the performance and offer match, the communication with the customers is good, HVAC planning, architecture, statics and reports are not picked up from the funfair. Usually – unless I ask myself – I hear nothing after the topping-out ceremony and that is the best possible construction process and brings me a reliable reference in the end.

I also know providers who supposedly quote €1,000.00 - 1,100.00 per square meter; "my" construction companies can manage that too if the house is above 200 sqm :D Seriously, with this price range the nasty awakening comes at the latest with the additional costs, especially the increased foundation costs. Usually with this price just barely the energy saving ordinance is fulfilled; not good!
Well, earthworks are not included in an initial offer, but that’s actually the case everywhere, right? But a complete architect and engineering service which I think is questionable in Frage’s offer.!!!!

Kind regards from the Rhineland

..... Why do you all make the mistake of believing that you are capable of making the biggest investment of your life without professional support? Certainly, such professional support costs money, but saving a few thousand only to burn tens of thousands later. Aside from the human catastrophes behind it.
