They make a good impression on me (based on the website, I don't know any customers). Who is in first place?

First place is KB Brandis from Jüterbog. I'm still waiting for their offer. The initial conversation has been the most pleasant so far.

I think I would have to decide by coin toss, both of them make an almost equally good impression on me. In any case, I believe you can’t go wrong with either of them.

Also consider that option 1 offers a better package, as they take care of everything, including the utility connections, etc. Ultimately, it probably depends on:
a) the price/performance ratio
b) as is often the case, the decision of the boss (wife)

From the beginning, we are looking for a construction company; so far, you have made a huge step forward. If both companies are good, let the project manager decide. You will need that advantage several more times during the building phase.

My wife and I visited the current third-place builder, Märkische Landhäuser in Ludwigsfelde, today. A very good "non-salesperson." He doesn't try to push anything on you and doesn’t speak badly about other companies. We really liked him. The initial price was €267,000 (including 19% VAT) for:

- 146 sqm (approximately 1,570 sq ft) bungalow (including covered terrace)
- Brine-water heat pump (deep drilling)
- Electric roller shutters
- 25-degree (25°) hip roof
- Lift-and-slide door in the living room
- Construction access road included
- Multi-utility house entry included
- Bitumen membrane included

He will expand his calculation to include:
- Controlled mechanical ventilation system
- Attractive entrance area
- Solid concrete ceiling
- Prefabricated garage with flat roof

A question about the solid concrete ceiling in a bungalow. The managing director said it is worthwhile for three reasons:
- Thermal insulation
- Cold protection
- Sound insulation

What are your thoughts on this?

Sounds good,
we have a wooden beam ceiling with insulation and drywall, U-value 0.2.
For a concrete ceiling, additional insulation is needed, or it would be like a bunker with a very thick ceiling.
However, soundproofing should be better.
I would have chosen a concrete ceiling only if the walls had higher load-bearing capacity to allow for adding another floor. But we don’t need that.
