ᐅ Prefabricated House Company Near Ingolstadt (Bavaria) – Customer Experiences

I found a questionnaire in another section of the forum that I would like to share here, filled out, to better clarify the status of our "planning" (more like "brainstorming"):

Client Requirements
Style, Roof type, Building type: Classic/country house/Jura style, gable roof or hipped roof with a low pitch, single-family house with provision for a granny flat
Basement, Floors: 2 floors + basement, no attic
Number of people, ages: 3 people: 33, 31, 2
Space requirements on ground floor and upper floor: Ground floor: kitchen, pantry, living/dining area, office with guest bed, shower bathroom; upper floor: 2 children’s rooms, 1 bathroom (possibly separate toilet), bedroom, walk-in closet, [if space allows: 2nd small office]
Office: family use or home office? 2 people working from home + private use
Guest stays per year: ~20 overnight stays
Open or closed architecture: rather closed
Conservative or modern construction: conservative
Open kitchen, kitchen island: either closed kitchen with open living-dining area or kitchen and dining open with living area separable (sliding or folding door)
Number of dining seats: 8
Fireplace: not planned
Music/sound system wall: -
Balcony, roof terrace: depends on the plot and the view; basically rather not
Garage, carport: large double garage + carport (for: 2 station wagons + roadster + workbench)
Utility garden, greenhouse: not planned
Additional wishes/special features/daily routine, including reasons for choosing or excluding certain elements:
- Basement access from outside (messy hobby, hence also utility room and hobby room in the basement)
- Nice front door: solid wood door with stone frame and transom window
- Garage with roof (uniform overall appearance)
- Window shutters
- Natural materials for interior finishes (no plastic flooring)
- Large wardrobe
- Casement windows with muntins

If you have to forego anything, which details or expansions
- can be omitted: carport, basement finishing, window shutters
- cannot be omitted: walk-in closet, pantry, double garage

Family/Professional situation:
2 engineers (one project leader) with a total of 70 working hours per week, 1 child, 2nd child planned

Financing:
- So far only inquired at our main bank. Financing estimated at 750,000, with approval for amounts above that, as we are also looking at existing properties in parallel. Equity is available, budget could be set somewhat higher.

Plot situation:
- We are still a few kilometers from Ingolstadt; however, the plot situation here is tight. We expect to pay around 300,000 for a regular purchase through a real estate agent. However, our municipality is allocating quite a number of building plots this year, for which we will apply or have already applied. The municipal plots should cost around 200,000.

We are currently building with the company Kaufmannbau from Oberstadion, which should also meet your requirements.
We are very satisfied so far.

Kampa is currently offering a 135 sqm (1450 sq ft) house online on a plot of land that costs around 300,000, totaling 750,000.

You can compare this if you want (see forum search): "11ant Leerverkauf".

In our region, there is a well-known architect (Albert Ringlstetter) who builds beautiful traditional houses in solid construction. We would also be interested in him. However, I assumed that using an architect would generally be more expensive. Am I wrong?

Typically, using an architect is not more expensive, and in my opinion, you will be able to build with Mr. Ringlstetter with remarkably precise budgeting. By the way, I also use the name 11ant on GMX (de) and would be happy if you share updates on your architect search. I don’t see any problem with including craftsmen nominated by the clients in an architect tender process – such issues are more common when working with a general contractor.

We are not fixed on KfW40+; we thought to use it as a basis for comparison. What’s the point of comparing a KfW40+ prefabricated house with a KfW70 solid construction?

Yes, but then it’s better to compare energy standards with energy standards or KfW55 with KfW55, since the stricter KfW levels (and of course net-zero or plus-energy standards) are less common on the market. Even KfW40 is mostly marketing for suppliers rather than a commitment; it is less often realized and usually designed more "on autopilot" using the U-value calculator rather than from extensive experience.

I found a list of questions in another section of the forum that I would like to post here filled out,

That’s a very good idea and highly recommended for others to follow!

Wolf Haus should be in the same price range as Kampa.
Sad but true, many wishes for the budget.

Look around for construction companies. Do your research. Offers are pointless without the land; catalog homes and prices are the same. Compare the scope of work descriptions, compare builders, create a detailed list with must-haves, nice-to-haves; a 100,000 euro (or equivalent) difference in land price covers several nice-to-haves.

I don’t believe that even in the most affordable segment you will find a wall construction with Styrofoam glued onto some wood, as you described.

Hello,

We are building in the Eichstätt district with Fertighaus Weiss. (Construction starting this month). So far, we are very satisfied. As far as I can tell, Fertighaus Weiss meets your expectations and could build you a nice house. Whether it ultimately fits your needs is something you will have to decide for yourselves.

That sounds good! Unfortunately, I cannot send you a private message (yet).

You might want to compare (see forum search) "11ant shell sale".

Thanks, I’ve already come across that note in the forum. I feared it might turn out exactly like that. My example was actually meant just to infer the house price from a “Kampa all-inclusive package price.”
You also feel a bit misled by this “land brokerage service.” We were offered a plot in a neighboring village that the Kampa representative hadn’t even seen in person. When we told him what information we had already gathered from neighbors and the local building authority, he quickly withdrew his recommendation.
Last night, he sent us another plot, again in a neighboring village. When we asked whether it was a plot with an existing building (which has been listed for ages), he couldn’t give us an answer. Overall, it feels quite unprofessional when the seller knows “their” properties less well than the customer.

Working with an architect typically doesn’t cost more, and in my opinion, you’ll be able to build with very accurate costing using Mr. Ringlstetter. By the way, my username on gmx (de) is also 11ant, and I’d be happy to hear how your search for an architect progresses. I don’t see any issue with involving builders proposed by the client in an architect’s tender process — that would be more of a problem with a “design” process under a general contractor.

Then we will consider architects as well. Yes, Mr. Ringlstetter works very transparently, and we really like his approach to building as reflected in his publications. We will soon have the opportunity to visit a Ringlstetter house and speak with the homeowners, and we’re very much looking forward to it. We gladly accept your offer!

Yes, but then it’s better to compare energy saving regulations with the same standard, or KfW55 with KfW55, because the stricter KfW classes (and of course zero-energy or plus-energy houses) are less common in the market. Even KfW40 is mostly marketing for the providers rather than a genuine choice, and it’s less frequently realized — designed more “on autopilot” using U-value calculators, rather than from experience.

Then Kampa is definitely out—they only build to KfW40. I think we’ll create an extensive Excel sheet…
