Hello everyone,
we are currently planning to build a single-family house in Baden-Württemberg (Ostalbkreis) and have already found a suitable plot of land.
Now to the tricky part:
At first, we looked at some prefabricated house suppliers; there are quite a few show homes in our area.
Our requirements are as follows:
- Single-family house designed as a city villa (two-storey), about 140-150m² (1505-1615 sq ft) – no bay windows or similar features
- Double garage
- Open kitchen/dining/living area
- Floor-to-ceiling windows
- Basement optional, not included in this current planning
- The plot is almost level and easily accessible
-> In my opinion, the requirements for the house are therefore quite modest.
In terms of price, for a nearly turnkey finish we were always quoted around 315,000-340,000 euros (without land, without additional costs).
Based on these figures, we spoke with some real estate experts who said that a solid/traditionally built house should be possible for that price as well (and might even be cheaper).
We prefer a solidly built house because of its long-term value and stability.
Since the delivery times of the major prefab house suppliers are around 1 year, we then approached an architect.
The architect quickly said that the quoted house prices seemed very low to him but wanted to take a closer look anyway.
Even with commonly cited prices of about 1500-2000 euros/m² (140-186 USD/sq ft), for our house size I calculate 280,000-300,000 euros and still remain well below the prefab house offers, even at the higher end (2000 euros).
This leaves me with a few questions:
- In your opinion, is it possible to build our solid house (almost turnkey) at a similar or preferably lower price than the prefab houses?
- Do you have any recommendations for a prefabricated house supplier with a good price-performance ratio?
Quality comes at a cost – that is clear, so we do not want to save at all costs and were not looking at the cheapest suppliers.
- Is the commonly mentioned price of 1500-2000 euros/m² calculated as “turnkey”?
We look forward to your most up-to-date experiences.
Many thanks and have a nice weekend!
