Hello everyone,
Is it worth hiring a prefab house expert?
We are still at the very beginning of our home building plans. If we’re lucky and secure a plot in our town, we want to build a single-family house (about 140–160 square meters (1506–1722 square feet) of living space, with a basement) on it if possible.
We have already decided that we want to build a prefab house.
Last weekend, we had two consultation appointments at the Poing building center. A certain Tobias Beuler, who presents himself as an expert on prefab houses and writes many different contributions on the subject, offers his services for contract negotiation, construction supervision, supplier selection, etc. (for a fee, of course).
Has anyone had experience with this gentleman, positive or negative? Does it make sense for a layperson to have such an expert at their side, or is it unnecessary wasted money, considering that over time you can acquire the expert knowledge yourself?
Thanks in advance!

So how a dual-income household with a gross annual income capped at €100,000 (approximately $108,000) is supposed to manage these expenses, I do not know. I mean, a single-family house on the desired plot of land will definitely exceed the €800,000 (approximately $865,000) mark! And the assets, meaning equity, are also limited. Who is supposed to qualify as an applicant under these circumstances?

Ok.. THAT is really a steal! And where is this plot located? In Timbuktu? 20 minutes’ drive south of Leipzig. However, back then it was undeveloped in terms of sewage and water connections. Still a bargain. The price increase due to the boom is also impressive – but many others experience that as well.Hitokiri-1978 schrieb:
It’s unacceptable that there are such extreme price differences within one country. And slightly higher salaries don’t explain such jumps.Next to us is still vacant...Hitokiri-1978 schrieb:
That would mean a round trip of about 30 minutes compared to Dietersheim (where we would like to go) However, the commute to the desired location does not count. What matters is the commute to the workplace and, if applicable, to family (for childcare and such).
You have to make some compromises. How far would the commute to the workplace be?
If I only wanted to build where it would be perfect for me (optimal), I would still be living in a rental apartment. Nonetheless, we have always felt comfortable in our chosen location. By the way, the current property is leasehold, which is affordable. You just adapt to it.

Just over the BRW with a 30% discount applied. ... based on the 2016 value, I don’t see an adjustment to the current market price there. As I said, the municipality won’t find real buyers at these statistical fantasy prices, and your competitors will also need financing somehow. As dual earners with two children, they’re probably limited to a total monthly income of €9,500 (approx. $10,200) to stay within the social eligibility cap of the model. This already indicates that the plots are not intended for applicants from the highest income brackets.

I hadn’t heard of the place, so I looked it up, and the location does sound quite exclusive. Munich is after all the most expensive area in Germany. Metropolises have a wide influence—that doesn’t just disappear because you move beyond the traffic jams at the city limits.

With land prices and house construction costs in the Munich metropolitan area, you need serious money.
Over 1,000 euros per square meter (≈ $1,100 per square yard) of land
For 2,000 euros per square meter (≈ $185 per square foot) of living space, you get social housing standard
With 500,000 euros (≈ $540,000), you won’t get far.
The cost of living is also steep. You have to earn that first.
