ᐅ Recommendations for Multi-Generational Solid Construction Homes

Hello dear community,

I have been working for several days on a project to build a multi-generational house for my parents and me. I have already looked through various models from several prefabricated house companies. The "Allkauf Haus Generation 5 V2" caught our attention immediately. However, I have some doubts about the company and the prefabricated house concept in general; we currently live in a very good solid corner house, which unfortunately is too small for us.

In terms of price, the Allkauf house is very attractive (about 260,000 euros excluding additional construction costs, not turnkey because the interior finishing still needs to be completed).

How would you assess the prices for similar solid houses in the 220m² to 240m² (2,370 to 2,580 sq ft) range? Unfortunately, I cannot find anything comparable on the solid house general contractor websites! We had set a budget limit of about 350,000 euros for a turnkey solid house with high-end features.

If you have any questions, I would be happy to describe our ideas in more detail.

You live in Bavaria. Assuming it’s not the greater Munich area, plan for a turnkey price of around €3000 per m² (approximately $280 per ft²) for upscale finishes (parquet flooring, larger tiles, better bathroom fixtures). Closer to Munich, expect €4000-4500 per m² (about $370-420 per ft²). In the more rural Upper Palatinate region, maybe around €2500 per m² (about $230 per ft²)...
This is without the land. By lowering the level of finishes, you can reduce costs somewhat.

Regarding Allkauf houses: you get what you pay for. No one is giving anything away. Allkauf and similar builders are not suitable for upscale finishes.

That’s what the others meant as well…
Yes, exactly, without the land. Construction costs only. Welcome to 2019 ops:

It’s best if you first fill out the questionnaire, so that everyone discussing the topic has all the facts clearly summarized. Regarding the "price question," it can be generally said that the desired features and finishes have a much greater impact than whether the construction method is timber frame or masonry.

I’m reluctant to go to a real estate agent, but sooner or later I’ll run out of ideas on where to search.

Among other places: https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/wie-lange-habt-ihr-bis-zum-Bau-Entschluss-gebraucht.29507/page-4#post-295144 I have outlined alternative approaches. Generally, I tend to keep my distance from agents and their listings.

Which general contractor for solid construction houses would you recommend for the Bavaria region, especially Middle Franconia? Ideally, they should have experience with houses that include a granny flat (accessory apartment).

It is best to be familiar with houses that have a granny flat
This is an area of expertise for tax and subsidy advisors; from a general contractor’s perspective, a granny flat does not have any special characteristics.
