Hello dear forum,
My partner and I plan to move into our own home in 2016, or at the latest in 2017. We are from Saxony-Anhalt and want to build within the Halle / Saale area. We are both 27 years old and have a small son (1 year). Currently, we pay around 500 € (about $530) monthly rent excluding utilities for our apartment. We currently have about 20,000 € (approximately $21,000) in savings, which could increase to around 30,000 € (about $32,000) by the end of 2016. Our monthly income totals approximately 3,500 € (around $3,700).
Should we start looking for a suitable plot of land now, or wait until the end of next year to save more equity? Another question is, where can you actually buy land? We would like to handle everything through a prefabricated house provider. Should we also have them assist us in finding a suitable plot? How much house can we approximately afford?
We would like around 125 m² (about 1,345 sq ft) of living space and roughly 500 m² (about 5,380 sq ft) of land.
There are many open questions, and surely more will arise 🙂
Best regards

Best regards, Bauexperte Is that all? If all arguments go like this....
You see, I know an example from acquaintances where the construction was delayed by over 8 months and the budget was exceeded by 20% because, for instance, the windows had a delivery time of 4 months, then winter “suddenly” arrived, and so on.
If you want to contract out a trade yourself, you first have to understand it – and I believe none of the laypeople here fully do that – so you are dependent on the architect, and if they’re incompetent, you will have just as many problems as with a bad project manager / general contractor.

If you want to contract a trade yourself, you first need to understand it—and I don’t think any layperson here has a complete grasp of all trades—so you rely on the architect, and if they’re incompetent, you have just as many problems as with a bad construction manager or general contractor... Yes, there are also bad apples among architects; that’s why you should carefully consider whom you choose as a partner.
