Your architect-designed home, independent of any developer.

No, that is the core of our model. You receive independent architectural design with no ties to a developer or general contractor. With the approved drawings you obtain quotes from any construction companies you like and compare freely. We receive no commissions from construction companies.

Yes, once payment is complete you receive the right to use the design to carry out your building project on your plot, with any construction company of your choice.

Yes, the feasibility study is in fact ideal before buying: you learn how much house is possible on the plot and what it costs before you sign. On request we secure the result with an official preliminary building enquiry (Bauvoranfrage).

Absolutely. Our design questionnaire records your wishes in a structured way, your own sketches, Pinterest boards or reference photos are expressly welcome and feed into the design.

Dimensioned floor plans of all storeys, elevations, sections, the site plan with setback areas, living area and GRZ/GFZ calculations, building specification and the complete building permit application documents, all as PDF. You can see an example above under "This is what your design drawings look like".

Our service is complete once the building permit has been granted. We do not offer construction drawings, tendering or site management. With the approved drawings you commission the construction company of your choice.

Yes, on request we design to energy-efficient standards, for example an Efficiency House 40. Such requirements increase the construction costs and therefore also the fixed design fee. The formal energy certificate is prepared by an energy consultant; with the Documents Service we obtain quotes for this and put you in touch.

Then you keep the written result as a sound basis for your decision, for example for buying the plot or for financing. Our fixed-price offer remains valid for three months. If you commission the design within that period, the fee for the feasibility study is credited in full.

That is exactly what they are made for. We design up to the submitted building permit application, answer the authority's queries and earn nothing from any construction company. With the approved, dimensioned drawings you obtain initial quotes from masonry builders, timber builders and prefab house suppliers on the same basis. For fully comparable quotes you additionally need a specification of works with qualities and construction details.

We incorporate the authority's additional requirements concerning our application documents at no extra cost, that is part of the fixed price. The only exception is third-party services (e.g. an additionally requested expert report), which the respective specialist firm invoices directly to you.

Then we tell you so clearly, this is exactly what the feasibility study protects you from. You learn in black and white what is possible and what is not, before you put tens of thousands of euros into design or even into buying a plot. Where possible, we point out alternatives (a smaller building, a different number of storeys, a preliminary building enquiry to clarify disputed points).

Our fair play promise: if the feasibility study shows that your plot fundamentally cannot be built on, we charge only the Quick Check price of €500 and refund the rest. So you bear no risk of paying the full price for a study with a negative result.

Yes. Since the ECJ ruling of 2019 and the HOAI 2021, the former minimum and maximum rates have been abolished, architects' fees are freely negotiable and the HOAI fee tables serve only as guidance. It is exactly this flexibility that we pass on to you through our fixed price.

The complete service phases 1–4 under the HOAI: establishing the basis, preliminary design, final design and building permit design, up to the submission of your building permit application. Included are the design and two rounds of revisions to your floor plan. Each further revision round that results from changed wishes on your part is charged at 15 % of the agreed basic design fee (fixed price for service phases 1–4 including VAT, excluding the Documents Service, visualisations, third-party costs and other extras). We inform you of the scope, amount and effect on the schedule in advance. Queries and additional requirements from the authority concerning our application documents are included in the fixed price. The authority decides on the application. We explain every step under Process.

The quick way in: with a short GRZ/GFZ calculation we check whether your wishes (e.g. 150 m² of living area) are fundamentally feasible on your plot, as a brief written initial assessment, without a building footprint drawing or cost calculations. If you then decide on the full feasibility study, the €500 is credited in full. So you never pay twice: Quick Check → feasibility study → fixed-price design, each stage is credited against the next.

It comprises: the outline of your house on the plot (building footprint sketch), the calculation of GRZ and GFZ, the living area calculation and the construction cost estimate. It costs 30 % of the fixed design fee and is credited in full when you commission the design, so you pay nothing twice. On request we additionally submit an official preliminary building enquiry to the authority (flat fee €1,500 incl. VAT plus authority fees), useful if you want a binding answer from the building authority before buying the plot or starting the design.

Fully digitally: we discuss your project in video calls, agree designs and change requests by e-mail and hand over all documents as PDF. This way we work anywhere in Germany without travel costs, all you need is a smartphone or a computer. A personal on-site meeting is not required, but is possible on request for a separate fee.

Our part is quick: we deliver the feasibility study as a rule within 2 weeks, and we prepare the drawings and application forms as a rule within 2 weeks once the questionnaire and schedule of rooms have been worked out. The building permit application is submitted as soon as all documents are complete. After that, experience shows the authority needs approx. 3 months for a preliminary building enquiry and approx. 6 months from application to permit, provided all externally obtained documents (surveyor, structural engineering, reports) are complete. We coordinate the specialist firms' contributions technically as part of the design and incorporate them into the application documents. With the Documents Service we additionally support you in finding and commissioning the specialist firms at an early stage.

Third-party specialist services, surveyor, ground investigation report, structural engineering, fire safety and energy certificates, are invoiced directly to you by the respective firms, without any mark-up from us. External orders are placed only after you have approved the costs. On request, our Documents Service for a flat fee of €2,500 supports you in finding and commissioning the specialist firms.

The Documents Service for a flat fee of €2,500 is additional organisational support. We research suitable contacts for surveying, ground investigation, structural engineering, energy consulting and other required specialist services, request and obtain quotes and compile them clearly, pass on contacts and contact details to you and, after your approval and power of attorney, handle the commissioning in your name. The specialist firms invoice their services directly to you. We place external orders only after you have approved the costs. The technical coordination, checking and incorporation of the specialists' contributions and the compilation of the building permit application documents are part of our design commission and included in the fixed price, they are not a service of the Documents Service.

The fixed price includes the design and two revision rounds. A round comprises the change requests you send us bundled together and their agreed processing. Each further round is charged at 15 % of the agreed basic design fee, that is the fixed price for service phases 1 to 4 including VAT, excluding the Documents Service, visualisations, third-party costs and other extras. The additional fee applies only to services that become additionally or repeatedly necessary because of changed wishes on your part. Corrections of our own errors, design services owed in any case and additional requirements from the authority concerning our application documents do not trigger an additional fee. Before starting any chargeable additional work, we inform you of the scope, the specific amount in euros and the effect on the schedule, and we start only after your confirmation in text form.

Your enquiry via this website is free of charge and non-binding, sending it does not create a paid order. You commission paid services in a separate step: you receive an offer with a clearly defined scope of services and total price, together with the consumer information, the notice of the right of withdrawal and the model withdrawal form. After you have commissioned us, we send you the contract confirmation and all documents by e-mail as PDF. If you want us to start work before the withdrawal period has expired, you declare this separately and expressly.

The fixed-price offer applies to single-family and two-family homes and semi-detached houses. We continue to design apartment buildings, please contact us for an individual offer.
