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

I believe Haupenthal and Blasisus are always "involved." Our heating and plumbing is done by the company LemensIt’s the same for us.Foundations are complete, drainage pipes are installed, the sewer connection is done, and the formwork for the slab is in place.
On Monday, the rebar will be placed, the slab will be poured on Tuesday, and masonry work will start on Wednesday... so progress is being made *excited*
How are things going with you?

Good morning everyone, that all sounds good on your end.. and with really nice weather this week, progress should be going well. For us, the roofers finished their work on Saturday. I can’t say exactly what will happen inside next, probably electricians and so on. On Thursday the windows will be delivered and installed starting Friday.
