Hello everyone,
We are currently looking for a developer for our house. At the same time, of course, we are also focusing on the right design, features, and price of the house.
Building a house is truly an adventure, and as you can imagine, there are a thousand questions and it’s hard to know where to start.
What I would like to know here is whether we are on the right track with a specific offer and if it can be implemented without any major concerns.
The key details are as follows:
Single-family house with approximately 140m² (1,507 sq ft) of living space, gable roof without dormers, KfW 70 standard, and
- central mechanical ventilation with heat recovery
- triple glazing with a U-value of 0.5
- solar rooftop system for domestic hot water with a 300-liter (79-gallon) storage tank
- roller shutters on the ground floor and upper floor
- underfloor heating return circuits in bathroom and kitchen
- triangular windows in the gable ends
The price for the whole package is supposed to be 180,000 euros. Overall, I find the price fair, but of course I’m also interested in your opinion.
Then I have a few more questions:
1. The construction description has very little information about the ventilation system installation. Should I follow up on this?
2. A condensing boiler from Vaillant, Junkers, Elco, or equivalent will be installed. Is this recommended, or are there specific things I should look out for?
3. What other aspects of the construction description should I pay attention to before accepting the offer? Are there any critical points I should be aware of?
Looking forward to your answers.
Best regards,
Matthias

Matthias18222 Oct 2012 08:39Well, I understand that this solution is not optimal.
Therefore, my question is: what alternatives are there?

Hello,
It seems there was no proper execution plan once again.
Finding a reasonable alternative from a distance is difficult because there are not many options in such cases. You would have to check where the existing pipe is and where the missing kitchen connection should be. But breaking up the slab is not ideal...
If you have an architect, why doesn’t she consider this? She should come up with a practical solution.
Best regards

Unfortunately, there was a mistake. The connection for the kitchen is located in one of the interior partition walls, but it should have been in the front exterior wall. We had communicated the desired location, but it was unfortunately overlooked.

Or tradespeople who are not capable of reading plans correctly. 😀

Matthias18222 Oct 2012 14:36We have also discussed this with our architect. She said it wouldn’t be that serious.
However, I would also like to hear your opinion and what you would do.

Hello Matthias,
We also intended to build with Schl. Bk. The last updates were a few days ago, and I’m interested in how things have gone so far. Last week, I asked two other homeowners about their experiences, and to say the least, the results were disastrous. Exact words: “If you still have the chance, stay away from it.” Unfortunately, there are very few reviews, and I’m very curious to hear what you have to share.
Best regards, Lulac
