Hello everyone, first of all, sorry for the embarrassing questions,
but I have often come across terms like general contractor, main contractor, etc., and never really understood who does what.
So my question is:
What is a GC, main contractor, developer, architect, prefab house supplier??? And what are the differences between them?
Please explain it in simple terms^^
Especially when someone says they did not build with a prefab house supplier, nor with an architect, but planned everything themselves, etc. How does that work? I thought you need an architect to approve the drawings, plans, etc.?
Thank you

Most companies offering the prefabricated houses you found will be general contractors—they will build you a "turnkey house," or a house that is partially finished, or some form of "almost-finished house" on your own land (or land intended for that purpose).
Construction companies that offer standard house models usually are general contractors.
You can tell from the quote if "all planning and services from a single source" are included in the package (it is rarely not mentioned in the catalog or on the website).

Of course consumer advice centers can help, but unfortunately that costs money... so he probably asked the question here.Seriously, do you even read the posts before replying? I said there is a book published by the VBZ, not that the VBZ itself would provide further assistance. And yes, this book costs about 19.95 euros or so.
I believe that amount is reasonable in the context of building a house. The main point was to encourage people to research on their own instead of having everything handed to them. Sorry, but this topic has been discussed more than five times already.
