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

Have you two actually decided on a heating system yet? Do you know what you are going to choose? We are using an air-to-water heat pump from Viessmann.
Speedy-OTW15 Jan 2015 08:46Hello everyone, we are currently building an urban villa with 150sqm (1,615 sq ft) of living space plus a double garage in Ottweiler with DHI.
So far, we are very satisfied.
Excavation work started on November 12, and by December 22, the roof truss had already been installed with underlayment.
On Monday, the garage roof work began, and the entire roof will be completed this week.
Regards,
Philippe

Good morning... Things are going well, but the snow is throwing a wrench in the plans for me and the masons! However, they managed to pour the ground floor/upper floor ceiling last week before the heavy snowfall. So not much snow will get inside the house. I was also able to help by clearing all the snow off the ceiling, and since we are building with staggered joints, I also cleared the area where the garage/entrance slab will go.
So far, everything is going smoothly! I’m satisfied and now hoping for “warmer” weather.
