Building your home: land with or without a building contract?

Building your home: land with or without a building contract?

You have decided to build your own home and embark on your personal real estate project. The search for a plot of land in Luxembourg can sometimes be tedious and plots of land for sale without a building contract are becoming increasingly rare in the Grand Duchy. Nevertheless, there are opportunities to be seized and it is therefore important to take stock in order to know the advantages.

What is a plot of land without a building contract?

A plot of land without a building contract means that you have the possibility of using the builder, architect or craftsman of your choice to build your house. You therefore have the freedom to choose the company that will accompany you in your project.

What are the advantages of being able to choose my builder?

By choosing your builder, you will be able to choose a company that matches your expectations in terms of site supervision and quality of work. In addition, you will have control over costs as you negotiate directly with the company: the price, payment and delivery conditions are set out in a building contract. The company is then responsible for monitoring the construction site and managing all the parties involved and the various trades.

It is also possible to call on several companies and to entrust only certain parts of your construction site, such as masonry, roofing, exterior joinery, sanitary facilities, etc. As you will have understood, this last solution offers you the advantage of having complete control over all the costs by having the possibility of using the competition, but it also requires more precise project monitoring and more organized site coordination.
