ᐅ Looking for a company specializing in solid construction homes in the Waiblingen/Rems-Murr district area

Hello, my construction project experienced significant delays of over a year due to the architect and city authorities. Now, the originally chosen construction company has raised prices considerably, even though the house became smaller after a redesign.
Therefore, I would like to request comparative bids based on the existing plans, which have already been approved.
It will be a solid (masonry) house with 2.5 stories and a separate apartment. It should meet KfW55 or better KfW40plus standards, as a photovoltaic system is mandatory in my case. The construction method should avoid the use of additional exterior insulation made of polystyrene.
Can anyone recommend a company? I contacted many companies some time ago, but only a small fraction responded, and an even smaller number eventually provided an offer.
Can anyone recommend a company building in Waiblingen?
I would appreciate any tips.

There is a moderated section here about experiences with construction company XYZ. If you enter Waiblingen, Rems / Murr, or other nearby towns that are not too small in the forum search (or even potential candidates if you already have some in mind and want to read evaluations about them), you should be able to find something.
I have already done that, but unfortunately didn’t find much.

You could list providers in the format “[Meier][Neustadt]” that you would like to have evaluated. By now, I can handle the search function, even if it sometimes seems unhelpful. And/or you can contact me directly—I use the same username with my email provider gmx (de). I can’t think of any offhand right now, but during my more than three and a half years here, I believe I’ve come across providers from your region a few times.

It should mostly be a turnkey project with the option to do some work myself. For example, I might be able to install the flooring or tiles on my own. The rest should be handled by the company. So, a general contractor or main contractor.
So, go ahead and share who you have already talked to or which company the offer is from.

I am looking for a company, and although I have already contacted many, most either don’t respond at all or don’t provide a quote even after weeks or months. I do have a quote, but due to the mentioned delay, it has increased so much (100,000€) that I would now like to get 1-2 comparison quotes and am looking for companies that someone can recommend. I just don’t want to spend another half year chasing a quote that either never comes or ends up being much more expensive than the originally discussed budget. The other quotes I had were from before the delay, and I had already ruled most of those out back then.

Well, the likelihood that someone will suggest a company you have already ruled out is high if you don’t specify which ones are no longer options.

I have one offer, but due to the mentioned delay, it has increased so much (100,000€) that I now want to get 1-2 comparison quotes and am still looking for companies that someone can recommend. I just don’t want to spend another six months chasing a quote that either never arrives or ends up being much more expensive than the originally discussed budget. The other offers I had were from before the delay, and I had already “filtered out” most of them back then.

What’s so difficult about naming the company?

Nowadays, I wouldn’t just write an email but rather call first and arrange an appointment afterwards.

I’m from the Backnanger area and can share my experience as well as recommend several companies.
