Hello,

I will soon have an initial consultation with a home builder. What information, documents, etc., does the consultant typically need from me?

So far, I have:
- All necessary site plans
- Room requirements list
An idea about...
- Type of roof
- Number of windows
- Heating system
- Kfw 70 subsidy if possible

What do you think might still be missing?

Regards

It would be helpful to have a rough budget estimate (they will ask if you have already been to the bank and whether the project is financially feasible or if their effort might be wasted). Also, think about which major extras you are interested in, such as underfloor heating, ventilation systems, a fireplace, electric shutters, etc.

If you already have a plot of land (reserved or purchased), the contractor can also advise you on which type of building would reasonably fit there and what would work poorly or not at all. For example, long narrow plots are less suitable for a bungalow but could be perfect for a typical single-family house if the orientation is right.

PS: Don’t sign anything at the first meeting 🙂

A site plan, cadastral map, and development plan would be useful.

The developer should definitely have these themselves, after all, it is their property!!

That is, if it really is a developer and the term developer isn’t being confused with general contractor (GC) or main contractor.
By now, I’m assuming that is the case.

Edit: scroll up, it says he has the documents for the property ... I must have had that in mind when replying 🙂
