ᐅ Price difference between slab foundation and basement. Is it possible to estimate that?

Hello everyone,

is it possible to roughly estimate the price difference between a slab-on-grade foundation and a full basement?

Assumption: house footprint 10.5 x 10.5 m (34.5 x 34.5 ft), excluding excavation work

When requesting quotes from home builders, the prices seem relatively high to me. The cost of the slab-on-grade foundation should basically be deducted since it is already included in prices without a basement.

Thanks

At least 40,000

Strange question, a basement needs a slab foundation!

For this size, the foundation slab with a frost skirt costs around 18,000 to 20,000 euros, excluding excavation work.
The basement costs approximately 45,000 to 60,000 euros, depending on various factors.

A basement also has a slab, but it is thinner than for a foundation without a basement.
Typical marketing talk

The price range given by baufachmann is fairly accurate if it is going to be a utility basement (not a living basement).

60,000 euros
