Anyone thinking about building a house should obtain comprehensive information about it in advance. To ensure that nothing goes wrong with the project, the Bau Praxis portal provides "25 tips for better building for private builders". These range from obtaining "basic factual information" to "checking the ground conditions" and "personal contributions". At the beginning, for example, you can look at model houses, but also ask friends and acquaintances about their experiences with building a house. After that, future builders should read up on the subject and acquire knowledge about building materials, construction methods and financing, for example.
In addition to the location, future builders should also check the soil conditions of the plot and determine, for example, what type of soil it is. According to the portal, ancillary building costs such as notary, surveying and building application fees should also not be neglected. Future builders can also view reference properties from developers, construction managers and architects.
With regard to the building specification, it is important to ensure that no questions remain unanswered and that precise information is also available on the subject of thermal insulation, for example. Once construction has begun, the building materials must be stored in such a way that they are not only protected from theft, but also from the weather if necessary. The portal also points out that although work can be carried out independently, in many cases it makes sense to hire an expert. Interested parties can find further tips at baupraxis.de.
