ᐅ Weberhaus – Equipment Specification Report for a Turnkey Single-Family Home

Hello everyone,
I’m new to the forum since we are currently planning a single-family house. Our favorite option is actually Weberhaus, and we have already had the initial consultation, which we really liked. The selection of finishes also looks very good.
However, we would like to see a detailed specifications list of a turnkey house, but the sales advisor was not able to show us any, which we understand in terms of data protection. For us, this is very important before we want to take the next steps.
From many acquaintances, we have gathered experiences and heard statements like, "If we had been able to see a specifications list beforehand, we would have done some things differently in advance." Unfortunately, none of our acquaintances have built with Weberhaus, so we have no chance to review such a document completely. Additionally, we have seen specifications lists from other companies from acquaintances, which were sometimes very vague and not really detailed or well-structured. Sometimes, even after reading them, it is unclear whether “Item A” is included or not. Hence, we’re asking here in a public forum.
We are fully aware that each specifications list is unique and cannot be compared one-to-one, but we mainly want to understand how one looks at Weberhaus, how extensive it is, how detailed everything is described, and also to gather some ideas for each trade so we can possibly add some items during the offer phase.
Is there anyone here who has a specifications list of a turnkey single-family house from Weberhaus? Of course, without any names, addresses, etc.—that’s not the point. Just the individual items/trades with possible additional costs as well. That would be great.
Best regards,
Thommy

we have already been at the first meeting here, Perhaps an easier approach would be to ask about the various items during a second contact. Lack of communication from the client/homeowner—what is the reason for that?

If you belonged to the DIY shell house group, you would also be in the wrong place with Weberhaus.
Which ones would those have been?
You would like a Weberhaus customer to send you their report without knowing them. At the same time, you remain completely in the dark here – even though I pointed out to you that you would get much better help if you revealed a bit more about yourself: we know nothing about you, your building plot, or how professionally/systematically you came across Weberhaus (or even the timber house category in general). Perhaps you simply contacted some companies with well-known names. The representative at X personally disqualified themselves, the price of the product at Z (possibly relative to the features) was the issue, so now you find Y great, and that happens to be Weberhaus. Meanwhile, your plot might have a different opinion, and/or you might not even be part of Weberhaus’s target group.I am not keeping anything secret; there are no mysteries in that regard, why would there be? We currently live in Villingen-Schwenningen and have a building plot near Balingen. So the distance to Weberhaus is not too far. Our plot is almost completely level, which is why we will build on a slab foundation. We have been working on the building process for about three years already, and from the very beginning it was clear to us that we want to build with wood. First, we spent a lot of time internally thinking without making "inquiries": where do we want to build? How do we want to build? We considered our room requirements, what we need for ourselves, and looked at some floor plans, etc.
We have also already attended Weberhaus’s open house days twice, where we had our first contacts and conversations and established a connection.
We did not only approach well-known names but also a smaller regional company. Besides Weberhaus, we had contact with the major players Schwörerhaus, Weiss, Streif, and Keitel-Haus; we are still in touch with Schwörerhaus and Weiss. We do not want to inquire with more companies as time is limited for that kind of research. But eventually the time comes when only one company can build the house, and you have to make a decision. Currently, our preference is clearly leaning towards Weberhaus. That is why we asked our question regarding the mentioned point, as we were able to obtain this information from all others through acquaintances, but unfortunately not from Weberhaus.
I would try to directly contact one or two customers of "Weberhaus." Perhaps your sales representative would be kind enough to share one or two customer references with you?
For example, we were invited to several handover appointments by our home building company. There, we were able to speak directly with the homeowners and discuss any issues or concerns. You could also bring up the topic of the "inspection report" during these meetings. A reliable company offers such home inspections before handing over the property to the homeowner’s family.

The topic of “reports” could also be addressed there. A good company offers such house viewings to the homeowner family before handover. To those seeking my advice, often accompanied by me, such house viewing events are regularly offered. I cannot imagine a regional representative missing this opportunity. They know very well that this is often the deciding factor that finally convinces someone to sign.

My clients, often accompanied by me, are regularly invited to house viewing events. I can’t imagine a regional representative missing out on such an opportunity. They know that this is often the tipping point that encourages people to sign contracts. The local home builder we visited, for example, not only offers timber frame construction but also solid wood walls, which is a different price category. So the phrase "no matter the price range" and your related statement don’t quite fit here. It rather seems like you favor “masonry” style building and are downplaying timber construction with your sausage and juice comparison.
Why would we say something like that to a Weberhaus salesperson? What is the purpose of your remark in this context? We’re not discussing Schwörerhaus when talking about Weberhaus, and vice versa. I’m sharing this as information because we have been able to look at homes from various builders through acquaintances, but unfortunately not from Weberhaus—because none of our known building families chose Weberhaus. It’s not as if we would say this to Weberhaus or our Weberhaus sales representative. That is the sole point here, nothing else, and that is why we are here politely asking whether someone would be willing to show us theirs (without any contact details, address, etc.).

Why should we tell a Weberhaus sales representative that? What does your statement achieve for him here? When talking about Weberhaus, we are not discussing Schwörerhaus, and vice versa. [...] That’s why we are here and politely asked if someone would be willing to show us theirs (without contact details, address, etc.). No one said you should tell the Weberhaus salesperson about their competitors or even name them. But just as politely as you do here, you can also ask the regional sales representative. It is their daily business that their potential clients often just need that last argument to sign, and they will gladly provide it for you. Why are you asking everyone except the one who would most like to fulfill your request out of their own interest?

Therefore, “regardless of price range” and your related statement don’t quite fit. It rather seems like you favor “brick and mortar” as your preferred building method and speak negatively about timber construction with your sausage and juice comparison. In my house-building plan, an open decision between timber and masonry construction is one of the most important points, and I always explicitly encourage those seeking advice here and in personal consultations not to exclude any building method from the start. Every construction method has advantages that may present differently in each individual case. Therefore, for each project, it should be determined individually what and with whom it is best to build. I also have nothing against prefabricated masonry panels. No one makes panels from solid wood; “massive wood” is something different, but neither Weberhaus nor Schwörerhaus (and to my knowledge also Weiss) use that. I regard timber frame panel construction as a very worthwhile building method, although the eponymous building material is nowhere near as dominant in reality as in customers’ minds. If you belong to the Weberhaus clientele – for example, you may want to keep that your secret – you can be happy with Weberhaus (or Schwörerhaus). I do not mention Weiss or Streif Haus in the same breath, and Keitel-Haus even less so (they have not convinced me in any project I know). It is not uncommon for me to have projects where the final decision is between two top contenders, one timber builder and one masonry builder, and the winner is only decided in a tie-break.
Such a surprising opinion of mine can only exist if you have not yet engaged with my house-building plan and my contributions. I guide those seeking advice toward their and not my own home (and mine would not have to be masonry either).
