Which prefabricated house provider - prices, experiences?

The parking spaces are arranged one behind the other on the short side of the house

This is, for example, not allowed everywhere – with us, all parking spaces must be individually accessible, parking spaces one behind the other are not permitted. You have to clarify such things in advance, and a local builder is clearly at an advantage here: they know the regulations and usually also the people at the authorities. 3 meters are also not possible on every side, please pay attention to that! Sometimes the authorities are lenient and approve an overlap of setback distances if, in principle, all parties benefit from it. Regarding Baufritz I can only say that EVERY single minor change costs a fortune. So either you can take one of the model houses exactly as is or you won’t manage with your budget. These are high-quality houses, but as I said, every small deviation costs. Besides, their order books are really full. When we visited and inquired there, they could only promise a start of construction a year later. And I doubt if the situation has eased...

How do you come up with two meters?! I have no intention of putting a 4 x 7 sqm terrace there, that’s clear...

7m in length maybe not but the depth with a garden table and extended garden chairs is at least 3m and if you don’t want to end up with a chair leg in the lawn, then it will be more. It’s just lived practice. In other words, it’s like with the drawn-in doll furniture in the floor plans presented here. You can only point it out.

is right. Since the plot is slanted in the front, you would have to roughly apply the 3m boundary distance to the street on the shorter side - meaning 21-3=18m remain, of which 12m are for the house, leaving 6m at the back. That is the "garden". And from that, you still have to deduct the terrace. At least if it is supposed to go "backwards" to the north. Otherwise (east/west) you only ever have the 3m boundary distance available. It is the same for me.

But as you write further up, it is simply the only available plot, so you have to make do and that's that. It was the same for me; there is hardly anything in my city, and if there is, it is unaffordable for me. I am glad that I found something; I accepted certain compromises for that. And I feel absolutely great in the new home.

Well, first of all, machines don’t have bad days. Workers do. That doesn’t mean that mistakes can’t happen with a prefab house, but the potential decreases. Then the predictability. Keyword: interest on capital tied up. The built-in moisture in a solid house. I won’t say more about that.

Even if you don’t want to hear it. This is not meant as criticism, but it sounds like the typical sales talk from prefab house manufacturers. I am neither pro nor contra prefab/solid and personally it doesn’t matter to me what I would have chosen. We also had to keep an eye on the money. But that’s stereotyping. A prefab house does not come READY to your construction site. The complete finishing is not included. The moisture is basically the same. Also, you will still need a lot of workers on the construction site. Last point – your budget is sufficient, but in my experience, any changes in a prefab house cost significantly more than in a solid house. At least that’s how I understood it in the discussions we had. And since this probably won’t have standard dimensions here, I would at least consider other companies/construction methods, because it could save you a few bucks price-wise. The reasons you gave are simply wrong.

How do you get two meters?! I don’t plan to put a 4 x 7 sqm terrace there, that’s clear…

It’s just lived practice. In other words, it’s like the doll furniture drawn in the floor plans presented here. You can only point it out.

^this.

I have the feeling you haven’t dealt with the building process nearly enough. Buy the plot if the location is really that tight for you and you can manage the size, but get a lot more information before you sign any contract with a company. Then it’s too late.

We just had the whole discussion recently in the thread with the "prefabricated house experts." The thread starter also believed that the prefab house would already come with a wall-mounted toilet. I can only agree with , secure the plot of land and then familiarize yourself with the subject matter without bias for now. Please read the above-mentioned thread.

@Escroda are there possibilities to not comply with the 3 meters on one side?

I'm not Escroda, but according to the Bavarian Building Code


(8) When determining the distances, the following are not considered
1.
components protruding in front of the outer wall such as cornices and roof overhangs,
2.
subordinate projections such as balconies and single-storey bay windows, if they
a)
in total do not occupy more than one third of the width of the outer wall of the respective building, at most 5 m each,
b)
do not protrude more than 1.50 m in front of this outer wall and
c)
remain at least 2 m away from the opposite neighboring boundary,
3.
subordinate dormers, if
a)
they in total do not occupy more than one third of the width of the outer wall of the respective building, at most 5 m each, and
b)
their visible surface area does not exceed 4 m2 each and they have a height of no more than 2.5 m.

Balcony, conservatory or bay window (the latter two even over both floors) would therefore be possible without any problems, as an approximately 4 x 1 meter large projection. At least that much. In extreme cases, this might also be possible as a protruding captain's gable, which in turn could even be designed as an external staircase.
