ᐅ Cost Estimate for a Single-Family Home

Hello,

we are currently still in the planning phase for our house. The budget is not yet fixed, as we first wanted to get an idea of how much a house according to our concept would approximately cost. From what I’ve read here, it’s certainly not possible to provide an exact estimate; I already have a very rough draft from an architect and a few quotes from construction companies.

Without mentioning any specific figure, I would be interested to know if, based on your experience, these numbers might be roughly in the right range.

Details:

- planned construction preferably with an architect
- about 20cm (8 inches) slope on the plot (along the length of the house)
- 160 sqm (1,722 sq ft)
- hipped roof
- masonry: T10 / 36.5 cm (14.5 inches)
- mechanical ventilation with heat recovery
- air-to-water heat pump / underfloor heating
- 4000 L (1,057 gallons) cistern
- utility connections about 4 meters (13 feet) from the property boundary
- double garage also masonry-built

Estimates please:
- without complex wall constructions (no slanted walls or bay windows)
- no electric shutters
- no balcony
- no floor coverings
- no photovoltaic or solar systems
- no wall finishes
- no kitchen or other furnishings
- excluding bathroom fixtures (to avoid discussions about taps costing €50 or €1500)
- without landscaping

Thank you very much for your input.

- Controlled ventilation with heat recovery
- Air-to-water heat pump / underfloor heating
- 4000L (1,057 gallons) cistern
- Double garage also built with masonry
- Including bathroom fixtures (material value approx. €2,000)

So far, I am at EUR 281,000 for a single-story detached house on a slab foundation, excluding painting and flooring.

These items belong to additional construction costs; without extra foundation costs due to difficult ground conditions or the mentioned 20cm (8 inches) fill, they are around EUR 35,000.

Landscaping, painting, flooring, kitchen, and extras will be additional.

Kind regards

And I thought I had said everything. :/
It will be two stories, without a basement.

Two full stories or 1.5 stories? So, an upper floor with knee walls? hehe

I guess it will be a two-story urban villa.

Yes, it will probably go in that direction, but I’m happy to be surprised by our architect 🙂
