Hello everyone,

I wanted to share a construction offer from a developer and ask for your opinion on what you think about it:

- Solid construction method
- 5-year warranty
- Architectural services, earthworks, foundation slab, shell construction, plastered facade
- Carpentry, roofing work, windows and front door, heating/plumbing
- Drywall installation, electrical work, interior staircase, structural calculations with reinforcement plans, thermal insulation certificate
- 24 cm (9.5 inches) masonry using Poroton/Unipor blocks, interior masonry Poroton/Unipor 17.5 cm (7 inches) / 11.5 cm (4.5 inches)
- Plastered facade, roof frame construction as a gable roof, roof covering with glazed clay tiles (Creaton)
- Roof overhang made of plastic, windows and patio doors by Rehau with 6-chamber system
- Electric roller shutters, air source heat pump, chimney, underfloor heating in all rooms with individual room control (ground floor + upper floor)
- Circulation line with pump, electrical installations according to building specifications
- Interior plaster and screed works according to building specifications in all rooms
- Aluminum front door with side panel

Owner’s tasks:
Tile installation, painting, flooring, interior doors

The developer is asking for 203,750€ for this, and the plot costs 52,500€.

What would you criticize in the included services? Or is it solid and acceptable overall?

Thanks in advance for your input.

PS: I hope this is the right forum for this post, otherwise please feel free to move it 🙂

Then it is not a developer: a developer only sells the house and land together, never separately, and not with itemized price parts either.

He also does not provide a warranty because he is not selling the construction of a house, but a developed plot of land.

You probably have an offer from a general contractor instead.

A greengrocer is asking for 20 euros. There are
- bananas
- apples
- lettuce
- tomatoes
Is the price reasonable?

Find the mistake 😉 😉.

Who is selling the plot of land?

To be more objective again... If you are sure you want to build with a general contractor (GC), take your scope of work document and have it reviewed by a building expert or consultant. They will tell you what is missing and what you need to pay attention to.

It is really hard to understand how people want to build for over 300,000 (currency) but are not willing to spend 300 (currency) on checking the scope of work. A forum is only somewhat suitable for this kind of support. If you want to do this review yourself, meaning a comparison of items, you will need multiple quotes. Create an Excel sheet with each individual item so you can compare them. That is how you find your GC. This takes time and can take several weeks in some cases. It can’t be solved with just one forum post.

Later, people are surprised why the double sink with vanity costs an extra 3,000 (currency), or why the tiler charges 150 (currency) per square meter with materials included.

Things have gotten worse here. Those asking questions are becoming less and less independent.

The construction specification unfortunately does not provide any information.
