The House Contract. After we:
... compared about 10 providers
... visited model home parks
... checked every building area in the region
... read books
... visited the forum every day
... conducted reference calls
... compared the scope of work descriptions
... visited the provider’s construction sites
... reviewed the scope of work and contract documents
... and asked another thousand questions

we decided on the provider who was not the cheapest at first but always delivered reliably, was always available, and whose planning, communication, and ultimately price/performance ratio turned out to be the best.

Not much can go wrong now, right? (Just kidding, I guess the real work is just beginning).

I hope this decision is the right one, but I suppose in the end you always learn more.

How was it for you... did your preliminary selection go faster?

Best regards

... we were not quite finished with the contract due to formal and some content-related reasons and therefore could not sign it. This dragged on until the new year because the general contractor was busy and is still occupied, so it remains unresolved... Now I am really wondering what we should do. There is a building obligation with an 18-month timeframe for completion starting from site development (around July 2020).

What would you generally advise?
To build a simplified version ... postpone the schedule, etc.?

Is there suddenly no money available? Generally, I wouldn’t worry too much about a delay of a few months. If you finish half a year later than planned, they won’t take the land away from you immediately, at least as long as you have clearly started construction.
