Hello,
to all homeowners. I hope you can help me with your experience. My girlfriend and I have already had several consultation meetings with different companies. We already have a plot of land, and once we have sorted out the financing, we could actually start with our preferred general contractor. However, there is a significant problem. Our current place of residence is about 300 km (186 miles) away from the new build.
Advisors from some companies say it is not a problem at all to build from a distance. However, I have my doubts. Therefore, my question to you is: to what extent is the homeowner involved in the construction of a single-family house (appointments/tasks/etc.)?

The distance doesn’t make things easier.
Build with a general contractor and, as often suggested here, find someone locally who regularly visits the construction site.
Either way, you will never fully get what you would if you were on-site yourself.
Communication is declining among larger trades due to data protection regulations (GDPR). But there are plenty of alternatives.
