ᐅ Confirmation of the Plot and Next Steps

It always depends on what you need. Some consider electric roller shutters essential, but personally, I see them as a luxury and would rather invest that money in a photovoltaic system. Similar with showers that feel like 4 square meters (43 square feet) and the like. I still haven’t had time to thoroughly review the SchwörerHaus scope of work, but on a first look, it seems you can live comfortably even in the standard model. It’s also made pretty clear that the “Edition extra” is more like an “Edition less.” My cousin built with WeberHaus this year and said he actually opted out of some standard features rather than adding extras. I’m currently not sure where the prevailing opinion in this forum comes from that you absolutely have to budget around 30,000 (thirty thousand) for upgrades with a prefab house.

Things like a garage are never included in the house price unless you specifically ask for it. We did ask, and at that price, I’ll build the carport myself—otherwise, it costs more than the structure below it.

(And just to clarify, our SchwörerHaus offer had nothing to do with the catalog price either, but we had our entire wish list selected once, with 40+ options, basement, photovoltaic with battery storage, air-to-water heat pump, underfloor heating, and extra windows.)

I have several roller shutters on the ground floor, and for me, electric operation is not a luxury. Not even the central control. It’s worth every dollar. After over 12,000 activations, I know what I’m talking about.

I’ll reply to you here instead of in the provider’s advertorial thread ;-)

Regarding your questions there, I get the impression that you won’t receive answers in that thread – instead, they just collect questions to be answered later on their company’s online video channel, so you’ll have to search for the answers there...

12 power outlets in the living room? I once calculated, we have 14, and in some spots it gets tight;

By the way, with prefabricated houses, "finished" really means "practically final": your electrician can’t just chase new wiring into the plaster like he can with a brick house.

The standard in the construction and specifications document really is so “standard” that no one actually wants it –

And because no one wants that, the same unfortunately applies to show homes: “Illustrations may include optional extras.”

As far as I know, building on a slope like this is VERY expensive. Therefore, before purchasing, I believe you should not only talk to prefab home builders but also to a construction company experienced with hillside projects in the region. Then, carefully review ALL cost items. To be honest, I am not convinced that the plot fits your budget.

How did the appointment with Schwörerhaus go? 🙂

We have now finished the house design.

But Schwörerhaus quotes this as a fixed price.

Maybe we should have just asked something here in the meantime between July and November 😉

1. Which additional construction costs are not included in the scope of work and specifications?

Additional construction costs are not included at all in the scope of work and specifications. The scope of work only refers to the house itself.
Additional costs relate to the land, and the house builder does not cover those. That’s your responsibility, the land.

Thank you very much for your feedback. We have an appointment next week at the Schwörerhaus main office for a tour and so on. I will bring the questions from here with me.

And how was it?
