Hello everyone,
we are in the final planning stages of our future two-story home.
The upper floor is smaller than the ground floor and therefore has a 35 m² (about 377 sq ft) flat roof. Below it is the living space of the ground floor.
Now we are considering converting this area into a balcony.
The construction company wants to charge €880 per m² (about $880 per 10.8 sq ft), which means an additional €30,800.
I am still quite inexperienced, but this seems somewhat overpriced.
What do you think?
Many thanks for your opinions!

The upper floor (first floor) is smaller than the ground floor and therefore has 35 m² (375.9 sq ft) of flat roof. Beneath it is living space on the ground floor. We are now considering converting this area into a balcony. At first, that sounded like a possible issue with full storey classification, but according to your profile, you are in Brandenburg, where this does not matter. So why the discrepancy in the floor sizes? — see above

What do you think? The structural requirements for a balcony terrace are quite demanding and mean that you need a different construction. Then add a surface covering and a railing, and the price doesn’t seem so high anymore.

Now we are considering converting this area into a balcony. Hello Eugensit,
we did the same. The planned parapet wall was simply built up a bit higher, which didn’t add much to the cost. On top of the flat roof covering, a protective construction mat was installed. That cost an additional 500 euros. I then installed the terrace flooring made of WPC myself.
Best regards
