Hello everyone,

I have now received the first offer for heating / plumbing / ventilation systems. Additional quotes are on their way but are unfortunately still taking some time.

Here are some basic details:
- Construction location: Bavaria
- Single-family house with 160 sqm (1720 sq ft) living area (ground floor, upper floor) plus basement (approx. 55 sqm (590 sq ft) heated)
- Air-to-water heat pump
- Central ventilation system
- 3 bathrooms (guest toilet, children’s bathroom, master bathroom)

The offer I have received is as follows:
- Heating, underfloor heating, pipework, thermal insulation: €34,200
- Sanitary rough-in installation: €12,800
- Ventilation: €16,500

In total, this trade would cost about €63,500.

As mentioned at the beginning, this is my first offer, and I would like to tap into your experience to better evaluate the price.

I look forward to your answers!

Bookstar is right.
Last year, we built using separately tendered individual trades and received at least three bids for each trade.
Differences between 1 and 15 percent are possible, but 30 percent for the same tender? Well. It has nothing to do with envy.

And they are all busy, believe me.

You should check the company in the Federal Gazette instead.

Thanks for your input, but you don’t need to worry about my heating engineer.

Unlike me, he wouldn’t have to keep working.

What further suggests that something might be wrong or not comparable. But I have said all I wanted to say now; I just didn’t want you to give the colleague false hopes.

Simply do not pay in advance and that’s it. The final invoice will be settled at the end. Treat yourself and wishing you great success.

Thank you very much! The heating engineer will start at the end of August – if he actually shows up.
