ᐅ Build a new 350 m² single-family house in Wandlitz

Hello everyone 🙂

We have developed a detailed plan for how the house will be built inside and out. Due to the large living area, my wife and I have different opinions on who can deliver the project to our full satisfaction.

I am in favor of handing the project over to a general contractor, while my wife prefers involving an architect who would tender the individual trades and manage the contracts.

She is concerned that planning with a general contractor might not be ideal when it comes to technical aspects like heating system design or electrical installation.

Which companies in the Wandlitz area have you had consistently positive experiences with?

Friends of ours suggest that it might also make sense to request offers from reliable solid companies in neighboring Poland, for example for the structural work.

It would be great to receive some well-founded advice from a "new resident."

Wishing you a pleasant evening 🙂

@schustrik has practically mastered the textbook method of positioning every piece of furniture so that it is flanked by walls at least on two sides, balancing the entire arrangement symmetrically. Yet, no general contractor has included this in their portfolio—why, only the vultures know? I don’t really believe that, but I guess I’m a heretic (at least in the Galilean sense).

Thanks for reading. This definitely sweetens my lunch break :p

When I was working through the thread (from @schustrik) back then, Günni had to make several Doornkaats for me, my dear sir, so many corners in the walls are really challenging. Once you’ve seen that, you understand why Gisela doesn’t want something like that. Hrchz.

But the thread was really entertaining to read. 😀 I almost spit my coffee over the keyboard when I saw the comment, "I only have a laborer, and it has to be finished in 4 weeks." Do you have more stories like that?

Dear all, it’s great to read all your comments 😉

The exact points mentioned—regarding room layout, unnecessary empty spaces, poor room shapes, and so on—have all been taken into account.

Our plot is large enough, and the building envelope / planning permission allows us to build exactly according to our plans.

We are open to discussing general questions, but of course we will not publicly share our detailed building plans here.

I quickly push such heart-stopping sentences out of my mind.

I’ve already admitted that I remember all of them – but if the original poster also confirms their position and seems intent on starving the visual side, I guess I have to stay firm as well...

Often, it’s precisely these fundamental questions where images can help avoid misunderstandings or misinterpretations. You can black out the type of safe in your plan and simply leave out the secret passage at the end of the broom closet. That’s just a tactical smokescreen from @Muc1985, claiming that the underground garage ends at the property line. Of course, it extends completely under the English Garden; he’s actually rented me the farthest corners for my Maybach, Horch, and Duesenberg collection. By the way, I learned how to keep such top secrets on the internet at [Name des Geheimdienstes weggelassen].

If the project is truly exceptional, I wouldn’t involve a standard general contractor. ;-) The only reference that comes to mind is the poor robber :-(
