Hello everyone,
We plan to start our construction project in 2016 in central Hesse near Gießen and are currently looking for a reliable building partner. There are some local general contractors, but unfortunately, I can hardly find any reviews or feedback about them (e.g., Franz and Lotz, Ernst W. BU, Bickel-Bau, Bautrend Nidda).
I have already had initial discussions with some of these companies, but I notice that they tend to be rather skeptical about modern technical options, such as ventilation systems, and have indirectly indicated that they prefer to stick to a standard model (energy-saving regulation house with gas heating and token solar panels in a 36.5cm (14.5 inches) Ytong masonry structure).
Can anyone recommend builders in this area? Would a local Town & Country franchise be worth considering? Are there any national or regional providers worth looking into?
Our plans: solid masonry house, possibly KfW55 standard, no basement.
Thank you for your feedback and have a great weekend!

I have also heard many positive things about Bickel.
Anyway, we have decided to go in a different direction.

ChristopherS31 Oct 2017 09:17Which property developer would you recommend then?
Well, a single review doesn’t really mean much. I firmly believe you can find negative reviews for any construction company.
That said, I don’t know the company personally. However, I find it surprising when someone signs up and immediately posts a negative review. I hope the registration wasn’t solely intended to damage the company’s reputation.

Thanks in advance for your feedback and have a nice weekend!And who did you end up building with?
We are building with Ernst W. The planning process was occasionally a bit frustrating and we experienced long waiting times, but overall we are satisfied so far. Although I have only just started [emoji16]

So far, we are satisfied.

So far, we are satisfied.At least our basement is already in place. I hope the ground floor will be bricked next week.
