1. And what if a detail on the house needs to be changed during the approval planning? 2. I can hardly imagine that you have already fixed the prices for all options and eventualities of the sampling...

1. The building permit has already been approved. 2. Not all, but if I then take, for example, a different bathtub than the one included in the standard, I can hardly be charged an additional €10,000... Or am I seeing this wrong? :) Maybe I'll just ask the house manufacturer!

Better not. You might be waking sleeping dogs. We are in the same situation as you and even though we think a lot about it, we prefer not to ask. That's almost an invitation to raise the price. :-(

That’s exactly what my boyfriend says too.
My hope still lies in the order confirmation, where the prices are fixed.
And we have a construction and service description and know exactly which fittings etc. are included as standard.
And the items are so high-quality that we won’t have much to select from.

And the house manufacturer is regional and well-known... and my boyfriend says that if anything, they have to come to us.

He also knows that we are at the financial limit and can’t take on any more.

What is the legal context? An order confirmation for what? And why do you need a contract for work?

If you have already signed the contract in which the prices are also listed and the letter does not contain clauses such as "prices are subject to change" or similar, you are on the safe side. For large projects, the tender is often awarded based on the "best price" principle, meaning the one who offers the lowest price gets the contract. The construction project can then still take years until the execution of the respective trade. However, the price submission is binding and the risk of any material price increases is borne by the contractor.
