Hello everyone,

We plan to start building our house in spring 2019. Is it advisable to begin the planning process now?

We already have a plot of land, but it still needs to be transferred to my name and re-measured. (As it is currently registered, it is too small, and we need to acquire a few meters from our neighbor’s property.)

Do you have any book recommendations I could start reading already?

Apparently, the plot situation is getting a bit more complicated than expected....

Certainly: "I Think the Tiler Is Dead!" by Julia Karnick
And the film: "Once in a Lifetime – The Story of a House Build" by the Semmeling Family, directed by Dieter Wedel – an absolute must-watch!

Great book! I finished reading it last week. My girlfriend kept wondering why I was constantly smiling while reading on my tablet in bed (I borrowed it through the library)...

"I think the tiler is dead," a humorous way to prepare. Helps to take many things in construction a bit more lightly.

Oh, you were faster

The roof will be added later by Murat Topal, which I also found quite amusing...

Have you ever read either of these two books? Are general guides like these usually recommended, or do they not go into enough detail on specific topics?

Of course, it is advisable to read a general introduction to the topic! Users with specific questions keep appearing, and it often becomes clear that the basics are not well understood (for example, who actually has a contract with whom and about what). As a client, you don’t need to understand every detail, but you definitely must have a rough overview muss.

I can’t comment on the specific titles... I borrowed two or three from the library and skimmed through everything (and have since forgotten much of it).
