nistibeeI can imagine that BU refers to those whose scope of work description includes the phrase "tile covering from our extensive catalog." In such cases, they might only offer "lower-quality" materials that can be upgraded to higher-quality ones for an additional charge.
However, most scopes of work list a gross/net price per square meter (sqm) of flooring, which limits how freely you can choose the quality of the materials within that price.

Hello nistibee,
“Bemusterung” simply means reviewing the materials included in the house price offer (sanitary fixtures, light switches, doors and handles, flooring, roof tiles, etc.). This gives you an idea of whether the “standard” described in the construction specifications will meet your needs, or if you want to choose different, usually higher-quality materials for an additional cost. Ideally, this helps you estimate how much extra budget you should set aside for customization. It’s very easy to spend 10,000 euros very quickly.

During our building contract, we had the opportunity to do a preliminary selection. We visited their selection center to see what is standard and where additional costs might be expected. This included items such as roof tiles, windows, roller shutters, stairs, front door, door hardware, window sills, and so on.
The major aspects like sanitary fittings, electrical fittings, and tile selections were handled externally at the sanitary wholesaler or tile showroom.

Doc.Schnaggls2 Nov 2015 15:22Hello,
We also completed a so-called "pre-selection" with our house manufacturer, which gave us a good overview of what is included as standard and which items come with additional costs.
Several items requiring extra charges were then included directly in the fixed-price offer (maple staircase, tiles, multimedia system, front door, etc.).
However, it was also wise to plan a substantial buffer, which quickly got used up during the final selection (wood flooring instead of laminate, LED spotlights, a large number of additional power outlets...).
Best regards,
Dirk
