Hello,
You’re afraid of signing .... normal ;)
You wrote several times in your post that you like the offer from the current favorite; your gut agrees. An examination - within your means - has also taken place. All good.
Although I am not a fan of signing construction contracts as long as there is no property – this mainly applies to bargain builders – your case is different. The plot is known and it’s only a matter of time before it can be purchased. From how you describe your favorite, they will most certainly have no objections if you sign the construction contract subject to the purchase of the property. Talk to them about this.
Why not continue searching? Because you seem to have “arrived”; so what do you still expect to find? A house always costs - as you rightly recognized - a price "x"; comparable providers can hardly deviate significantly from the price structure. But do you also get along with their minds, do you feel equally at home there?
Example: We had to order the sanitary objects and fittings for our bathrooms at the beginning of July; we are currently renovating. You will be overwhelmed in these showrooms ... the range is so extensive. Yet the objects differ only marginally - except for some stylish “outliers.” We had quite clear ideas about what we wanted to install; the internet is a good help for that. So we went into the showroom, ordered the objects along with fittings & co., and then ... out again. The same with the tiles ... we didn’t get further than the first third of the showroom space in both showrooms ... because we decided immediately. Still, we didn’t feel we had “missed out” on anything ... because we liked our purchases. Of course, it was funny to see the expressions of the salespeople at both showrooms ... they probably weren’t used to that :D
That means: if you feel you have arrived, free yourself from assumptions about what else needs to be done for you to feel safe. Every person is different! Talk to your provider about a free right of withdrawal, consider a buffer for upgrades and extra foundation costs, and find competent construction supervision - otherwise, listen to your gut. It has not deserted us during the course of evolution and that is a good thing ;)
Rhenish greetings
But now that it’s getting more concrete and this is a life decision, we suddenly aren’t so sure anymore whether it was wise to have really dealt with only one provider and to build with them?

On the other hand, we also put ourselves in a worse negotiating position from the customer’s point of view if we now blindly sign a construction contract, i.e. seal the deal to build with them and only plan the details afterward?
