Hello everyone, we need your help, experience, recommendations, and tips. We are trying to decide which type of house to build: a prefab house or a conventional solid construction house. More importantly, we want to know which company can be trusted so that we don’t regret it later. From our research, the following companies stand out: Schwörerhaus, Have Sie Haus, Weberhaus, and Heinz von Heiden, our favorite solid construction house. We hope you can help us and especially warn us against any mistakes.

Thank you in advance.

Best regards, Ramadan

Without a plot of land, many questions cannot be answered... now you decide on a prefab house from the company H. Knoblauch, but the plot doesn’t fit the layout, nor can it be accessed by a large truck – so what now?
300,000 € for the plot including a 160 m² (1,722 sq ft) house is hardly feasible... even if you calculate with 1,500 € per m² (140 per sq ft) and deduct the additional construction costs, only 20,000 € remains for the land – and that already requires careful budgeting.

He wrote 300,000 euros just for the house. Even though it is not so easy to decipher.

Exactly, daniels, we have 300 thousand for the house, so in total we have 430 thousand available for everything related. I would like to know if someone could help me decide which home construction company I should choose.

Hello,

This clearly means that you have EUR 430,000 - EUR 40,000 for ancillary building costs = EUR 390,000 available for the land and the house; all costs must be covered within this budget.

The key question is, *where* exactly in the Cologne area do you want to build *what*? With this budget (and the required plot size), I see a detached single-family home as a challenging goal. After all, the total budget should also include costs for access roads and some landscaping.

Therefore, I see an architect or a builder specializing in solid construction at an advantage. Which one is right for you and your family can perhaps be narrowed down through information here in the forum or building diaries. However, the decision should be made in a personal meeting!

We would like to build within a 20 km (12 miles) radius of Dormagen, which means Bergheim, Rommerskirchen, Grevenbroich, and Neuss. Yesterday, we received a quote from mein Stein Haus for 400,000 euros including everything you need and have to consider.

I am looking for recommendations of companies you can build with without regretting it later.
