A friendly hello to everyone,
who doesn’t know it... or has at least read or heard somewhere: external construction supervision is supposed to help avoid trouble/problems during the adventure of building a house!
Since this topic often comes up in discussions, I would like to ask you to share your personal experiences with experts or associations on the way to your own home in this thread:
Homeowners who consciously decided against external supervision:
As this thread fills up with contributions (which I hope it will), I will pin it at the top of this section. Then every potential homeowner – before starting their project – can get information on the pros and cons of both options.
Thanks for your support!
Best regards, Bauexperte

- Why did you hire external construction supervision?
- Which expert did you work with?
- How many inspections (at which stage of the construction process) did you arrange?
- What did it cost?
- What are your experiences?
- Would you make the same decision again?

There are countless websites on the internet from "ASSOCIATIONS" or those claiming to be. Some have professional appearances, while others make you wonder if you might be dealing with a fraudster.
Builder Association XYZ...DE, NET, COM....For our build, we also chose an independent expert and made sure they were publicly appointed and sworn in by the court. Alternatively, you can check with your local chamber of commerce for a list of certified experts available in your area.
HeiniohnePlan1 Apr 2020 20:54How many site inspections by the building expert do you think are appropriate?
We are homeowners and have received an offer from TÜV Süd for 4 inspections, see picture below.
Is 3 + 1 too few?
