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

Before we came across DHI, we had several contractors visit our sloping plot of land, and they all said that building a basement was absolutely necessary. It was only the partner architect from DHI who saved us from having an unnecessary basement, thanks to the split-level construction method.

Hello, I am new here. Aunt Google led me to you because I am looking for experiences with DHI. I have already heard a lot of good things about them.
My question is: what price range do your houses generally fall into? I know it always depends on the size and level of finishes, but I am interested in a rough idea. We are planning a house of about 150-180 m² (1,615-1,940 sq ft), with a basement and solar panels.
