Hello everyone,
During the planning phase of building a house, you inevitably come across forums about home construction and topics related to energy standards. I have already read several books and browsed various websites on the subject. I should mention that I am not a professional in this field. What I have noticed is that the entire topic of "economic / ecological home construction" is heavily influenced by commercial interests. The so-called "smart" consumer is often misled by marketing terms and a government-led campaign for "CO2-efficient building." Books or websites dealing with this subject often do not provide clear, comprehensive assessments.
In the "better" literature, insulation materials are compared in terms of insulation value and whether they are expensive or affordable. However, I still cannot determine what makes the most sense for my individual case. I simply do not want to spend excessive amounts of money, especially on things that do not add value, such as polystyrene insulation. If additional costs for a particular heating system are reasonable over a feasible period, then yes.
Our current goal is to build a simple single-family home with about 130 - 140 sqm (1400 - 1500 sq ft). The house should cost around €200,000 (without outdoor landscaping, floor coverings, land, or additional construction-related costs; our expectations are modest).
I am interested in knowing, based on the current state of technology, what is the most energy-efficient and cost-effective building option?
Energy-saving regulation / building standards according to KfW, yes or no, and if yes, which level?
Solid construction or prefabricated house?
Condensing boiler technology or heat pump?
Thank you very much for your answers!
Best regards

That is the house price including the land.
Then there are the additional construction-related costs as usual, such as notary fees, taxes, soil surveys, and so on.
I can’t understand what is unclear.
I don’t understand either. But you are demonstrating it right here.
There is a good overview of additional construction costs here, covering a lot, and you won’t get below 30,000-40,000 (USD or equivalent) overall. Taxes and notary fees are not included and will be added on top. In your offer, they are even significantly higher than usual since they apply to both the house and the land, instead of just the land as is typical. You need to be aware of all this, yet you claim that acquaintances only had an additional 5,000 added...
At winnetou, there is a villa on a plot for 226,000. That is correct.
I checked locally.
A comparable house costs about 470,000. The plot is larger and must also be larger here.
The offer is more detailed, includes more extras, better quality?

And here with us – you can still build affordably!

How many times do I have to say it, 5000 euros for additional features.

winnetou787 Aug 2017 22:28For me, notary fees and similar costs are part of my secondary building expenses, just like the electricity connection and so on.
Why should I break this down any further?
