Hello,
we (Hannes 23 & Denise 23) have decided to build a house within the next one to two years.
After some consideration, it was clear that it should be a single-family house with a granny flat for my mother-in-law.
The house will have 1.5 stories with a knee wall of at least 140cm (55 inches).
The granny flat will take up part of the ground floor, while the main apartment will occupy the rest of the ground floor and the entire upper floor. A basement would be desirable, but it must be a waterproof concrete basement (known as a “white tank”).
We already own a plot (flat building land, partially developed with water and sewage… electricity, gas, and telecommunications connections nearby at a maximum distance of 5m (16 feet)).
After days of going through catalogs, phone calls, and a visit to the model house park Hessdorf (Erlangen), we are quite overwhelmed.
The only real advice we received was from Schwörerhaus & Fertighaus Weiss, but unfortunately both are too expensive.
Are there any recommendations for suppliers in the area and experiences with approximate prices we should expect?
Prefab construction or traditional masonry is not important at this point.
We would like to contribute with some work ourselves, such as painting and flooring.
For heating, tiling, and electrical work, we have good contacts who are self-employed and would offer us a "friend discount."

So if the budget is around 350,000 (350 TE), Danwood might have something suitable for you, such as the Privat 196. Generally, their homes tend to be more basic in standard but often feature quite interesting floor plans.
The Privat 196 has a base price of 250,000 (250 TE). In addition, there are 20,000 (20 TE) for the foundation slab, 20,000 (20 TE) for upgrades, 10,000 (10 TE) for the absolute minimum exterior work, and 50,000 (50 TE) for additional costs. However, I can’t say whether doing some work yourself will save you much.
