Hello forum,
who can recommend reliable construction companies in southern Schleswig-Holstein? We plan to build a solidly constructed city villa of 140-150 sqm (1506-1615 sq ft) in the Pinneberg district.
There are many providers available, but direct comparison is really difficult. In the end, you always know more than before.
The following aspects are important:
- Price-performance ratio (also after selecting finishes)
- Construction time (from contract signing to handover)
- Build quality
- Good planning phase, construction phase, and warranty phase
- Possibly using own trades
- Possibly performing some work by ourselves
These companies come to mind:
- Team Massivhaus (builds approx. 800 houses/year)
- Ö-Haus
- Kagebau (builds approx. 150 houses/year)
- ECO Haus (builds approx. 150 houses/year)
- Kraft&Pahlke
- Town & Country
- Stollhaus
- Virtus Bau
- Hauscompagnie
- Helma
- Viebrockhaus (builds approx. 1100 houses/year)
- KSW Massivhaus (approx. 50 houses/year)
- Generalbau Peters
- Kalksandstein Bau Tornesch
- PE Massivhaus
- Nissen Massivhaus (approx. 50 houses/year)

You don’t necessarily have to accept everything as is. Go through it with the site manager (BL), point out the issues, agree on a retention amount, and only pay in full once everything is completed.
Some things, like the gaps around sockets and light switches, fall under the painter’s work. Did you hire the painter? The painter fills and smooths the walls, removes the switches to do so, and also patches oversized cutouts at the same time. At door frames, they apply an acrylic sealant, but in this case, given the gap size, it is likely to fail.
What your pictures show is typical work rushed due to a construction boom. Extreme time pressure leads to a “just get it done” attitude among the tradespeople. For example, the cabinetmaker comes to install doors and notices the door opening is too large. Normally, they would report this to their supervisor, who should then contact the architect or site manager and say: “We’ll only proceed once the frame has been corrected.” But this didn’t happen. Instead, the supervisor said, “You have to figure something out and make it fit somehow; this must be finished. I’ve already scheduled you for a project in Neumüster next week.”

When I look at these photos and read your attitude about it, I can already tell why you’re not getting any responses by email. Whether this is the right way for the company to handle things can be questioned, but this is pretty common during a construction boom. These aren’t really serious defects. With another construction company, you probably wouldn’t have survived the construction period mentally.
The gypsum fiberboard obviously can’t stay like that. It also seems the final installation of the windows hasn’t been done at your place yet. But the rest is just painting work. Our doors also had gaps. We submitted the painter’s invoice for that, and it was accepted without any issues.
Did you purchase the painting work or are you doing it yourself?

If you need a good construction lawyer, I can recommend one—we just hired one ourselves.
You can also send me a private message. Make sure to get builder’s liability insurance first, which costs about 300€ (approximately $330) and is useful for one year.Similar topics
