Hello everyone,
It’s been a while, and fortunately, I’ve learned a lot since then, also thanks to many justified skeptical opinions.
Since we didn’t get the plot last year, our application for a new 555 m² (approximately 6,000 sq ft) plot under the local resident allocation model is currently with our local market. The decision on whether we will be allocated one this time will be made in September, but things look promising!
As land prices here have increased by more than €50 per m² (approximately $5 per sq ft) since last year, our budget has naturally been expanded. Our current target and maximum spending limit is €400,000 (including equity), preferably less, but that’s where we stand at the moment.
A basement is not feasible from a cost perspective, so we have decided on a single-family house with around 140–160 m² (approximately 1,500–1,700 sq ft) and a double garage with an adjoining annex at the back for garden furniture and such. Of course, it’s possible the double garage will become a single garage with a carport, but that will become clearer during detailed planning as we look for some savings to invest money better elsewhere.
Currently, we are considering between Danwood (a prefabricated house KfW70 standard) — with which two of our friends have had good experiences — and an Austrian Passive House with even greater energy efficiency due to new and special insulation.
Here is roughly my cost breakdown, now much more realistic than it was a year ago. Maybe some of you might find something that stands out.
Land: €122,100
Notary: €2,500
Property transfer tax: €1,500
Water connection: €500
Water meter connection/end device: €702
Electricity: €1,500
Telecom: €500
Multi-utility connection: €1,500
Building survey: €2,000
Building permit/planning permission application: €4,000
Grounding/earthing: €1,000
Official fees: €1,000
Multi-utility connection: €1,000
Construction electricity / water: €500
Site toilet: €250
Debris container: €900
Earthworks: €8,000
Double garage with side room and foundation slab: €20,000
Landscaping / exterior work: €8,000
Prefabricated house Danwood: €205,000 after material selection, including foundation slab
Best regards,
Dirk

I actually thought that 20,000€ would easily cover a garage... Welcome to home building!

I received a phone offer from a prefabricated garage supplier for a 6x9m (20x30 ft) garage with a door costing just under €25,000, and I’m expecting to get the written offer this week – but it looks like a DIY project in the end, which fortunately my father-in-law is good at. A prefabricated garage measuring 3 x 9m (10 x 30 ft) with an electric sectional door, electric wiring, a recess for a rear storage area, windows, and garden access, including strip foundations, currently costs our clients in North Rhine-Westphalia around €14,000. Taking into account the “Bavarian surcharge,” you should budget about €16,000—unless you have particularly poor soil conditions.

So was it about two garages?

It was about a 6x9m (20x30 ft) garage. That matches the 25,000€ again.

You mentioned the price for a garage measuring 3x9m and quoted 6x9m above. Which one is it? Argh ... simply overlooked the "6" and focused solely on "one"... if you hadn’t pointed it out so clearly, I probably still wouldn’t have realized ops:
Therefore, I apologize for the confusion caused and clarify that 25,000 EUR for 6.00 x 9.00 or 2x 3.00 x 9.00 m (approximately 20x30 feet) – in the version I described as 1 garage – (in Bavaria) is unrealistic.
Musketier is probably right that if the prefabricated garages in the standard version including a steel up-and-over door and without additional extras are purchased, 25,000 EUR could be accurate.
