Hello everyone,
now I really need your help. And please try to avoid abbreviations in your answers. I’m still a bit inexperienced in this area. 😱
Problem: We have found a plot of land through a sales agent/broker who only sells it tied to a specific developer. The developer doesn’t seem to be bad. We haven’t heard anything negative about them so far in this region. They apparently have never been involved in court cases related to construction defects or similar issues. Well, the problem is that we get the feeling they do everything with a very basic, standard approach. They don’t seem to consider the individual needs of the builder. So far, we have only spoken with the broker, who offers a fixed price for a turnkey house. It’s a great KfW 70 house with a heat pump, triple glazing, rendered facade, and more... As soon as I mentioned that we want a fireplace and brick facade instead of rendering, it was dismissed immediately... because it costs more, doesn’t make sense, and is just nonsense… blah, blah, blah...
Question: Is this some kind of common tactic? What is their problem? What would be the best way to negotiate with them to get the most effective and economical outcome from the entire building project?

How would I accuse you of anything? I just answered your question. “How can we build most economically?”
So you worked for the association that lends money to its clients through restrictive contracts from the legal department,
and if the client can no longer bear the financial burden after 5 years, the bank advisor bluntly says:
“That was already 5 years ago, we calculated that you wouldn’t last more than 2 years.”
Note:
When building or buying a house, there are few costs as valuable to you as a neutral building consultation "B E F O R E" signing any contract.
There are plenty of associations that provide neutral building knowledge, but not for free.
After a neutral building consultation, you can hold your head high and say: “I was smarter before!” 😎
