Hello,
I received a quote from an architectural firm for a plot of land and the construction of a prefabricated house using timber frame construction with a precast concrete basement. The house model is from the manufacturer’s catalog, with only slight changes to the interior layout. I am now wondering about two points in the cost breakdown:
1) A commission is charged on the land price (which I can understand), but also on the building cost. Is this normal?
2) Under additional costs, nearly 10,000 EUR is listed for “Architect (building permit / planning permission, design, formwork and reinforcement plans).” Is this a reasonable price for a prefabricated house where only the interior layout is slightly modified?
Regards

I had never dealt with this industry before, but now I have a small insight into the practices that take place. Very unprofessional methods. I think I can say this openly: I had talks with three salespeople/advisors, all of whom I would classify as untrustworthy/hard sellers.
Kind regards
