Fingers crossed for you, and I will keep you updated.
Could you maybe list the working hours at the end? Not just a plain 1,800 hours, but something like:
Installing windows with a friend from a window manufacturing company 100 hours
Pulling cables without KNX 250 hours, etc.
Also including material procurement.
In my opinion, some people approach the self-build effort a bit naively here.

I will do the same with the windows together with my father-in-law. I’m already curious about how it will turn out.
In any case, I am saving between 10,000 and 20,000 EUR, depending on how you look at it.
If I end up needing rehab afterwards, we’ll see if it was really worth it...

I need to check—it’s always quite a lot of work to keep track of the hours worked.
These are roughly the plans for the second project. Since there is no zoning plan, I am still unsure whether the environmental authority (UBA) will approve it, as the new building must fit into the surrounding area. However, my architect said it might be possible because "the Bauhaus style is timeless."
As a first step, I will submit a preliminary building inquiry here.

Since Carnival, I’ve been chasing heating companies. The heating season starts in 6 weeks, and I don’t even have a quote yet.Welcome to the club. Last November, we had a plumber on site to get a quote for replacing wall-mounted radiators and installing decentralized ventilation. After repeated follow-ups, we never received a quote. In late May, a second plumber came on site. Since then, we have been chasing that quote as well.
They simply don’t care because the order value is under 1,500 euros (about $1,600). Even when mentioning interest in a heating and ventilation system for a new build next year (over 35,000 euros (about $37,500)), it doesn’t help... very frustrating.

It doesn’t have to be exact, just approximate. You also need the hours for the accident insurance. You don’t have to write down every day from 5:30 pm to 10:45 pm on site minus 28 minutes chatting with the new neighbor, but something like: I was on site about 5 hours each day during the week, plus 10 hours on the weekend. Egon was there for two evenings as well, and I spent 10 hours on masonry work.
I’m optimistic about whether the house will be approved. To me, it doesn’t really fit in. Where I live, you would still have a good chance though. Vacancy reduced, living space created = no outmigration, the center becomes more attractive.
