ᐅ General contractor needed in the Cologne/Düsseldorf area

Hello everyone!

First, let me briefly introduce ourselves: My partner and our young son currently live in Düsseldorf, and we plan to build a house between Düsseldorf and Cologne. We have already purchased a plot of land.

We also placed an order with one of the major turnkey house manufacturers. Everything seemed to fit well!

However, now the issue has arisen: Our order has not yet been confirmed because the execution according to the KfW 40 standard is reportedly not possible. Mind you, the manufacturer had already sent a confirmation to the KfW in advance to secure financing. What can I say? I am neither willing to give up on a heated basement nor to lower the KfW standard or suddenly invest more money than agreed. I just want to receive what was advised and finalized. So far, no contract has been formed by accepting the offer, which is why we are considering withdrawing from it.

Therefore, I am now looking for smaller companies in the Cologne/Düsseldorf area that feel capable of building a detached single-family house with a basement, where the basement is also part of the energy-efficient building envelope, to the KfW 40 Plus standard at a reasonable price.

Large and well-known companies can be found everywhere (but we have been quite disappointed by many here). Finding a regional and reliable partner is proving quite difficult at the moment. Could anyone possibly offer some recommendations?

Many thanks!
Mario

Hello,
is this the company W+L from Monheim?
Today, we had the chance to spontaneously visit one of their houses and spoke with one of the managing directors. Everything looked quite good so far.
Thank you!

No, it’s not W+L Bau. But I can’t tell you much more since I haven’t built a house with them myself.

I built with an architect and separate contracting. I’ll send you a private message.
