Good evening,
I would like to share my mostly positive experience with home construction companies.
In March of last year, after unsuccessful house viewings, we decided to build a new home.
On April 17, we found a plot of land. By the end of May, the purchase contracts were signed and the initial design plans were ready.
I picked up the building permit / planning permission at the end of September, and on October 1, 2019, the first excavator arrived.
All the craftsmen were punctual, and overall we were just one week behind schedule.
All the tradespeople came from the local area, and the construction company was from the same town.
Last-minute changes, like moving a door or adjusting a wall slightly, were never a problem.
Our move started on May 8, 2020.
The house was finished one week earlier than planned, and despite the more complex electrical work, the costs stayed within budget.
I would choose to build a house again with the established local companies here because I can visit them easily, and their work is straightforward.
From the first time stepping onto the plot to moving in, it took just one year.

Even when things don’t go “so well,” it feels right to me to hire local tradespeople. Here in northern Hesse, tradespeople are very busy and you often have to chase after them, but I feel that this also influences the overall “atmosphere” in the area, and that atmosphere is good here. For me, that is at least as important as a good price. A cheerful tradesperson also works better than one who is not interested in the job...
That's good to hear! Unfortunately, being locally based does not guarantee the quality of the work. Many specialized companies have been careless and sloppy for years, even though they are local. The workload also overwhelms many family-run businesses, which noticeably affects the quality.

If you ask around in the area, sooner or later you will keep hearing about the same companies and get independent feedback. A company may have many positive Google reviews, but I would not trust those reviews.
@Patricck A great house and a project successful so far. Congratulations on that.
