Hello everyone,
After reading and gathering information here for several weeks, I am now ready to participate actively.
We plan to build a house of about 190 m² (2,045 sq ft) plus a double garage in Saarland in 2015.
For this, we have ordered some catalogs from national suppliers and also requested individual quotes. In the end, based on a recommendation, we found the regional company DHI Planen und Wohnen in St. Wendel. They work exclusively with local craftsmen and specialist companies and have built over 400 houses in the last 14 years.
If I understand correctly, I would sign a contract with DHI, who then prepare an offer for the entire construction project and purchase all the building materials. The individual trades are paid directly by me to the craftsmen (according to the offer that was included in DHI’s overall quote). This is said to have the advantage that in case of warranty claims, I can hold DHI liable (because of the contract with them), and if they become insolvent, I can still pay the craftsmen directly.
Has anyone here had experience with the company DHI or can share insights about this billing model?
Thank you and best regards,
Jochen

In every window of the HBF, you will find color-highlighted fields in the top right corner with your "Nick," next to "Conversations" and "Notifications." Check under "Conversations," and you should find what you're looking for. The red "notification icon" might sometimes be hidden behind the Twitter or Google+ logo.
I have occasionally missed this notification for that reason as well.

Hi Martin,
Sure, no problem. We are building in Güdesweiler. Excavation and soil replacement with ground preparation started in mid-November. If the weather holds up, the foundation slab will be poured this week, and then after the well-deserved Christmas break for the construction workers, work will continue in January.
Where will you be building?

Hello Martin,
I’m not aware that I replied to you. Maybe my post above yours was only approved afterwards?
I also assume that using DHI is a good choice. So far, I’ve only heard positive things.
For us, it will be about 180 m2 (1,940 sq ft) of living space, plus a double garage and a spacious cellar replacement room where the heating system will be installed.
We plan to start in spring. The building permit / planning permission should be completed this week.
