Preparation is the be-all and end-all
Selections is an essential part of apartment and house construction and therefore one of the most exciting stages for the future owner. It begins with the selection of the appropriate floor plan, through the choice of the heating system, to the decision of the parquet color in the living room. Particularly here the future owner should read the performance specification of the building contractor carefully, since often only a standard basic equipment is contained in the price. Everything that is not listed there in the end or deviates from this standard equipment can drive up the costs considerably.
Good preparation for the selection appointment is therefore the be-all and end-all. It is advisable to visit several manufacturers' exhibitions or exhibition centers in order to get an overview and to be clear about the basic color and room designs. The selection procedure can vary depending on the construction project and the construction company. Sometimes, model homes or apartments are offered for walk-throughs. In other cases, an equipment catalog is reviewed with the builder to select the desired elements. Depending on the scope of the equipment elements, you should expect 1-2 days.
