Hello everyone,
We are currently in the process of planning our house. We already have a clear idea of how we want it to look. We found a great house online with some modifications.
Now we visited a builder who is requesting a deposit of 4,000 EUR. The reason behind this is understandable: they put in the work, and in the worst case, we might take the drawings to another builder.
However, to me, the amount seems quite high! 4,000 EUR is easily at least half a month’s salary for a draftsman. Or am I mistaken in this?
Basically, I would like to have at least two offers to be able to compare prices.
I have contacted another builder who provided me with a first draft over the weekend without any charges.
What do you think? Deposit yes or no? And if yes, how much?
Best regards,
Antonio
