Building in a joint building venture brings with it many advantages. Above all, cost savings of up to ten to twenty percent are possible due to the joint construction costs. But joint construction is not suitable for everyone. The guidebook "Bauen in der Gemeinschaft" (Building in the Community) published by the VPB (Verband privater Bauherren e. V.) provides prospective home builders with an overview of what is meant by a joint building venture and what they should look out for when joining one. With specific questions in a checklist, prospective builders can also check whether they are at all suitable for joint building.
When several building owners join forces for a joint construction project, it is not only necessary to consider and implement their own interests, wishes and ideas, but also to find agreement on numerous questions and aspects of the joint residential project. These include, for example, questions about the legal form, architecture, legal issues or questions about contract design or construction quality. Basically, there are two different types of building communities: the free private and the supervised private building community.
If the construction group opts for a managed private construction community, a so-called project manager, often an architect, takes the lead for the project. From planning the construction project and drawing up contracts with the individual construction partners to financial coordination and support during the construction phase - the project manager takes charge of the entire construction project. Building in a managed private construction community is particularly popular with local authorities. It is not uncommon for local authorities to specifically allocate plots of land to selected project managers, as there is only one contact person for all matters relating to the joint construction project. Likewise, a project controller has clear ideas for the development of the site, so that municipalities can choose the project that appeals most to them conceptually. In the case of a free private construction consortium, the construction group takes over all organizational construction tasks itself and bills jointly tendered construction services individually.
