ᐅ General Contractor in the Munich Area or Prefabricated House?

Hello everyone,

Thank you for welcoming me to the housebuilding forum.
My partner and I would like to build a single-family home in the Bauhaus style near Munich. Since we want a high proportion of glass surfaces as well as large rooms on the ground floor with a ceiling height of 3.50 m (11.5 ft), we don’t fit the standard offerings of prefab home suppliers. None of their predefined floor plans suit us. But of course, according to the sales representatives, they can also build custom designs.
We are just a bit concerned that the costs could get out of control since prefab home companies benefit from economies of scale. Also, with our ceiling height, we cannot use standard windows, sliding doors, interior doors, blinds, etc.

This raises the question of whether it might be better to build with a general contractor using traditional construction methods.
However, general contractors in the Munich area have such poor reviews. I have read here in the forum that it only makes sense to work with a general contractor if they are located near the building site. Do you have any advice or can you recommend a general contractor?

Thank you very much for your tips.

Of course... just look at Immoscout for the Munich district, houses starting at 1.5 million and the number of listings you get...

Best example of a Bauhaus villa:
Listing No.: 19225002 | Scout-ID: 110879458

4.5 million for a 340 m² (3,660 sq ft) house on an 813 m² (8,750 sq ft) plot in Gräfelfing.

As I said before: I see THE HOUSE (without land, of course, that’s how it’s calculated, and the original poster only referred to the house) with a 1 in front, seven digits I said,...

A 2 or 3 million price can probably be seen as a starting price in Mallorca.

The original poster probably won’t be showing up here anymore?! @Julie87

And I disagree with that. Even for an average house size, using a lot of glass as a structural glazing system easily costs half a million. Since the rest is probably not from a general hardware store either, and considering the architectural style... a 2 million is definitely more realistic. It would be helpful if the original poster could provide more information. Until then, we’re just guessing in the dark.

Well then... it’s pretty much irrelevant anyway.
The original poster must have been mistaken.

The original poster is probably offended that we keep focusing on the costs instead of recommending a general contractor... well.
