Good morning,
I am considering creating checklists and quick guides for "homebuilding novices" to provide a framework for basic questions about construction technology and expected quality levels, enabling people to form their own understanding.
Therefore, my question is whether this would be helpful to you and what scope such a resource should have in your opinion.
I would appreciate it if you could participate in the survey.
Please select below which checklist would be useful to you. Is something important missing? Feel free to add it in the comments 🙂

I’m a bit undecided. However, I tend to lean towards technically challenging lists. This makes it clear to some people – see the reply from @minimini – where their own limits are and when they should consult a personal construction supervisor, expert, or similar professional.
In general, there is a tendency for people to consider themselves well-informed simply because they have read up a little on the topic. Reading up is always helpful, but you also need to recognize your limits, be able to recognize them, and above all, be willing to do so 😉.

I appreciate detailed and professionally made checklists.
Reasons:
1. The site manager/workers/building savings contract discuss solutions, and I am not completely left out.
2. I learn that building a house is complex and requires specialists with expertise.
3. When doing work myself, I get a clear idea of what I have taken on.
4. I don’t see mistakes, but the building savings contract does; I can look up what it’s about.
5. I hear from the building savings contract whether my general contractor is a professional or more like a butcher or something.
Our house has been standing for 2 years, and I would have used the checklists intensively and annoyed our general contractor with questions until he wanted to kick me off the site 🙄

I either build with an accompanying expert or I immerse myself very thoroughly in the subject. In the first case, I can rely on a professional and visit the construction site together with them; in the second case, the checklists are by no means sufficient.
