Turnkey house! General contractor.

ModernHouse 2023-10-25

You've probably heard about the possibility of building a turnkey house.
This solution is for people who do not have time or willingness to manage construction.
Of course, as in any case, there are advantages and disadvantages to this solution. We can say the same about the economic system.
It is worth setting your priorities here, what is important to you.

Before we build our dream house, think about::

  • project,
  • selection of materials,
  • supervising construction,
  • status zero,
  • open shell condition,
  • closed shell,
  • wet development condition,
  • development condition dry,
  • land use.
These are only the main stages of building your own house that an investor must face.

General contractor

It shortens the decision-making process and the implementation time of individual stages, because the contractor performs individual works based on many years of experience in the industry, for which, of course, we have to pay.
Despite the previously received design and cost estimate, a situation may arise when we need to redesign the building, improve and optimize the installation or structure. Sometimes it may happen that there will be a need to replace the entire project with a new one or to change the building permit.
Also remember that when building a house you will pay 23% VAT on the gross material amount for materials. The general contractor will pay 8% VAT for the same material. This means that you save 15% on the purchased material. You probably guessed that returning defective goods is standard when building a house. The company will save you from "running" around stores and wholesalers.
On the one hand, we trust the general contractor, which saves us a lot of time, but on the other hand, it is worth monitoring what is happening on the construction site.
It is an increasingly common practice to install monitoring on the construction site, of course with the consent of the general contractor. Some people also cooperate in parallel with an inspector who independently represents our site.
Regardless of whether you implement the investment using an economic system or with the help of a general contractor, it is worth being aware of the advantages and disadvantages.
Remember, nothing is perfect!

A quote can be quoted here: "When driving a car at night, you only see a part of the road, but you can still drive hundreds of kilometers and reach your destination."
Setting your own priorities and goals is the most important thing here.

Ask yourself a very important question.
What benefits does cooperation with a general contractor give me?
This solution is for people with their feet firmly on the ground.
For people who have clearly defined their priorities, they know that their choice is the most sensible one at the moment due to all the individual factors affecting them.
