Which company built this house - is there any more information?

Hello everyone,
first of all, I would like to thank all the experts and questioners here for the many interesting and informative contributions. I am more of a passive reader, but I have still absorbed "tons" of tips and knowledge that help me and my partner a great deal in the search for a property and will surely protect us from harm. And which can hardly be compensated with money, and if so, only expensively. Plenty of other contributions still want to be read; it is almost inexhaustible here.
And yet I now have a concern for which I myself have to ask a question: Which company built this (rare?) house?



Was it perhaps a renowned construction company? We are considering a purchase, but the current owner has hardly any documents. Only the year of construction 1996 and the floor plan are available as information, and that it is a timber frame construction (if I am reproducing that correctly). The location is in Baden-Württemberg, the specific house is the second from the left in a row of five townhouses. And we are aware that houses built in this method, which are no longer quite new, can have their pitfalls – hence the question.

Many thanks in advance for any possible information.

Have you already questioned the neighbors? Someone must still have construction documents.

Renowned? What is that? You haven’t read carefully enough, because this “seal” says little.

“Joke” aside.
Since it is a terraced house complex of a manageable size, probably the only one in the area, one must 1. assume a developer who 2. together with an architect exploited a building gap that 3. may have been freely tendered in that era.
In 1996, were the well-known energy-saving houses already being built?

The best tip was given: ask the neighbors. Don’t be shy, next summer they could be your best barbecue guests or hosts.

However, I would ask about experience, not about the builder. The expert who accompanies you next time can explain the weaknesses of the house.

… too late to edit the post: I just see that this is even the entrance area, so not a standard house at all and even quite elaborate in the alignment determination. That confirms my assumption.

Thanks first of all. The thing with the developer is interesting. The seller and we are "circling" each other at first, if I may put it that way. We as buyers are cautious, and yes, an expert will be there for the second viewing and we will follow the tip about the neighbors! The house should last a few more years (although my partner and I are no longer getting any younger). The location is definitely great, though. But we fear, besides a "finite" lifespan of the house, also hot summers because of the glass facade.

Every house has a finite lifespan. However, it can be extended significantly through maintenance. Glass facades on the sunny side must be shaded from the outside in summer. Alternatively, you can also fight windmills with the air conditioning.
