ᐅ Structural Engineer vs. Architect vs. General Contractor

Limited time, so: Find a local, well-connected structural engineer with a building permit / planning permission, and you can plan your house individually with them. This way, you keep costs constantly under control AND can freely design your house in every aspect.

This beats architects in terms of cost and general contractors in both cost and planning.

Anyone who wants can feel free to thank me ‍♂️

Good luck from Münsterland!

Wow... good idea...

Seriously, what a hidden gem oO..

How many houses have you practically completed, and why haven’t you shared this information? Additional question: In your experience, why is this done so rarely?

You can choose.

Cynicism is when a bully beating up their victim asks: Do you like that? Should I hit you again?

Sarcasm is when the person being beaten, instead of complaining, replies: Absolutely! Go ahead and do it again.

The structural engineer must invoice according to HOAI just like the architect. Cost savings can therefore only be achieved by omitting services. Each person has to decide that for themselves.
