ᐅ What do you consider standard in a solid construction house?

And hopefully, you won’t sign any contract until all the extras are included in the price... :-)

Are you referring to us? In general, never sign anything early, and for special promotions with a preliminary contract, I would immediately consider switching providers. Unfortunately, too many people fall for that.

A verbal decision is made only after a detailed initial offer is presented to us, so the general contractor (GC) also knows they won’t be putting in effort "for nothing"—the initial planning takes several days.

We work with a local provider, where an offer comes from the architect and engineers as a preliminary service… This is of a different quality compared to a large-scale provider.

Only sign a contract after careful review and when all services meet your requirements. However, consulting is often a core issue here. It is either missing or frequently insufficient.

Windows + doors: Double-glazed, no large-area windows or sliding doors.

Today, triple glazing is more common, although it is a misconception that the number of panes is the main factor: double glazing does not have to be cheaper nor necessarily less insulating. There are also very different types of glass when it comes to solar and thermal protection.
