Dear Forum,
Now that the ink on the notarized contract for the land purchase (in 64625 Bensheim) has dried, we visited the prefabricated house center in Mannheim for the first time and feel overwhelmed by all the options.
At first glance, we don’t see major differences between the providers—promotional videos and catalogs, of course, only show the positive aspects. On the other hand, you can find some negative comments and reviews online about almost every provider. Moreover, I find it risky to choose a supplier solely based on one consultant.
Without solid reasons, there were still a few prefabricated house manufacturers we felt “sympathetic” towards. These are Bien-Zenker, Weiss, Schwabenhaus, Bittermann and Weiss, Fingerhaus, Hanse, and Weberhaus.
In addition, there are two regional concrete (or masonry) builders we had good initial contact with.
The question we’re asking ourselves is: what is the best way to proceed now?
Should we narrow down our selection or even widen the circle? Should we have a consultation with every company? Should each company plan a house based on our wishes so we can make a meaningful price comparison?
We are at a loss.
Therefore, I hope to receive some tips from you. Is there an approach that has proven effective? How did you proceed?
I look forward to your input.
Best regards and have a pleasant evening

Sometimes you can really narrow them down after just 5 minutes. When I think of that one salesperson,Yes, if you really have ten of those guys, they whittle themselves down naturally, like the little characters in the children’s song. You just have to listen carefully and, for example, if someone talks badly about their competitors, take it as a signal to eliminate them.

And then there was the gentleman in the show home, to whom we only wanted to ask the usual question ("How many square meters? What’s the final price?"), and 10 minutes later we found ourselves in a side room where he wanted us to sign a contract because there was supposed to be a price increase in a week... Um, we basically ran out of there.

Hard to believe there are actually people who sign this... My brother-in-law signed something like that... just to quickly lock in the lower price before the increase. It didn’t matter that he didn’t even have a plot of land yet. They’re happy to help with the search, too. But that’s a (horror) story all on its own.
