Hello,
I have already had two conversations with a construction company, and soon the third will take place where the current offer will be presented. I actually like the offer quite a lot, but I am unclear about when the contract is usually signed. At the moment, I am considering which trades I will do myself, what might need to be done differently, and much more. Now the question arises for me as to when the builder requires me to sign the contract. After all, he also has a lot of work and costs with the planning and therefore certainly wants (which is totally understandable to me) at some point to ensure he is not planning for free. Since the house construction is presumably not going to start until the middle of next year, I still have time until then to change quite a few things. But what is the usual procedure? If I sign now, it will certainly not be so easy to remove trades and similar changes. By the way, the builder has so far, which I find very positive, not pressured me at all to sign. This bothered me very much with two other companies during the first meeting, as they already spoke of a price increase in one month. Of course, I understand that craftsmen also want more money eventually, but something like this seems very unprofessional to me.
