So, we have decided that we want to have a house built for ourselves.
I am not very experienced in this area, so I want to use this thread from start to finish to make the whole process a bit easier for myself.
For now, we know how the house should be designed, meaning I have sketched something out for us. The dimensions are based on the size of our bedroom, and I have taken into account our needs for both now and the future. We do not yet own the plot of land.
Therefore, I am looking for companies that build prefabricated houses at the stage of turnkey completion.
So far, I have only looked at Massa Haus and Okal Haus. Both belong to one construction company; the difference is that with Massa Haus, I would have to do the tiling, bathroom, toilet, floors, and painting of the walls myself. I’m not really happy with that. And having only one company is not enough.
On Sunday, we are going to Poing. I hope to find several prefab house providers there.
My appointment with Okal Haus is only on Wednesday.
Does anyone have experience with Okal Haus?
At the moment, I am also occupied with questions about heating — what type, which system, etc.
It should be a finger house with low energy consumption and, therefore, low energy costs. Naturally, the construction method and the energy consumption should be balanced. I don’t want to spend $100,000 on heating and an exponential amount on construction; that doesn’t make sense to me.
I am personally considering photovoltaic systems with direct feed-in to the grid, combined with a ground-source heat pump.
I would be happy to receive your comments and replies.
I’m sure it will all help me.
Best regards

You are not looking for a prefabricated house but rather a general contractor (GC) or – if including the land – a property developer.
GCs are available for both solid construction (masonry) and timber frame construction. What is commonly referred to as a "prefab house" usually means timber frame construction, where the walls are delivered "ready-made" by truck.
In Poing, you can find nationwide providers (among many others, Massa Haus as a representative of timber frame construction and, for example, Lechner Massivhaus representing solid construction).
Online or in local building areas nearby, you can find regional GCs. They also build the house "move-in ready" – mostly using solid construction.
There are many discussions here about the advantages and disadvantages, and it often comes down to personal preference.
In the Ingolstadt area, however, I would currently keep an eye out for existing houses. The crisis and reduced working hours at Audi might endanger some financing or make relocations necessary.

You’re not looking for a prefab house but a general contractor (GC) or—if you have a plot of land—a developer (DEV). How do I recognize such a GC or DEV? They all seem to build prefab houses anyway. Whether it’s a GC or DEV depends on the services they offer, I guess. I couldn’t find online whether Massa Haus is a DEV or GC.
I would probably choose a DEV because everything is included, but the downside is that with this type of project, I can’t make any changes—or maybe I can, but only for an extra fee.
The friendly lady from Massa Haus said they take care of everything, or rather, they accompany you—that’s exactly the word she used. I would only have to handle the things mentioned above myself, and I really have no idea about tile installation.

In the Ingolstadt area, I would keep an eye out for existing homes for sale. I have been doing that for a long time; so far, it hasn’t led to anything.
The colleague means a developer. Regional or local general contractors usually just call themselves construction companies, sometimes with "residential construction" or "solid house" in their name. I have mentioned here several times that you can often "recognize" the best ones by the fact that they don’t put much emphasis on web design (because they don’t have to). Take a walk in your preferred building areas and look at the company signs there. Developer offers are usually advertised in the local newspapers.
