ᐅ In 2017, no KfW 70/KfW 55/KfW 40/40 Plus—only Standard and E55?

crionHello everyone!
Yesterday we had a pleasant consultation and planning meeting at Town & Country.
What confused me, however, was that they said there has been no KfW 70 or KfW 40/40 plus houses available since early 2017 at the latest, as it was too complex for KfW.
They said there are now only houses built to some kind of standard (most likely the Energy Saving Ordinance 2016), as well as houses built to the "E55 Standard."
Did I misunderstand something?
What was meant exactly?
Best regards,
Christian

The KfW70 standard is no longer subsidized because since the Energy Saving Ordinance 2016 replaced the Energy Saving Ordinance 2014, it has been mandatory by law and therefore there is no additional funding for it.
The Energy Saving Ordinance 2016 essentially corresponds to KfW70, but now without any subsidies. KfW55 is still subsidized, as is KfW40 – although the latter requires conditions that some providers find too inconvenient or whose clients ultimately consider too expensive. Saying “the funding bank no longer supports this” sounds better than “spare us the extra work.”
You don’t necessarily have to go to the bargain basement option among house builders.

Funny enough, our visit with Town & Country also showed that we should just build according to the Energy Saving Ordinance without going for the KfW program.
In the end, the offer was overpriced anyway, and most of the services were quoted as cheaply executed.
But there are also KfW55, 40, and I believe even 40+ standards.
Just take a look at the KfW website for their loan options.
I have personally had better experiences with brick-and-mortar builders. Their offers were usually cheaper than those from prefab or timber frame construction companies.
Especially when you add "extras" that are standard with reputable builders.

I have always had better experiences with brick-and-mortar providers. Even among solid construction providers, there are certainly weak links who rely solely on U-value calculators and skip any real thinking about wall structures and the like. During boom periods, builders (and architects) sometimes get a chance they would otherwise be quickly weeded out from the market. Their advantage for the client is often that they are typically small to medium-sized regional companies, who still need to maintain their reputation locally for the long term. Large brands may simply rebrand if their reputation is damaged. Their quality can be quite inconsistent, with some franchisees doing well and others less so.
And the usual sales talk should be treated with caution in every industry. Those who do their own research clearly have the edge.
