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

Brine drilling completed, garage roof finished, exterior plastering done, scaffolding removed. Currently working on interior plastering. Hello CrazyChris,
May I ask if the company Ehlen also carried out the drilling for you?
How did you measure the water that was discharged into the sewer system?
Our municipality insists that we install a water meter to measure the amount.
The company Ehlen claims never to have measured the water – but the municipality wants to accurately determine how much wastewater was released in order to issue the fee notice accordingly....
