Hello,
I have been offered a very small building plot measuring approximately 9.5m by 19.5m (31 ft by 64 ft), with a maximum eaves height of 7.5m (25 ft). The plot is located in Baden-Württemberg, near Pforzheim. The adjacent plot is still available and belongs to the neighbor, who is using it as an extended garden.
Over the past few weeks, I have researched several prefab house suppliers. The house should be one-and-a-half stories and about 100m² (1,076 sq ft) in size, so quite small.
I can handle the floor coverings, tiling, painting/wallpapering, and doors myself. I would prefer a KfW 55/40/Plus standard.
No basement, since the site is 50m (164 ft) from a river. My special requests are just a walk-in shower and maybe an additional roof window.
However, I want to stay within a budget of around €300,000, otherwise financing will be difficult. Here is my budget breakdown:
€190,000 for the house including the foundation slab
€50,000 for additional construction costs
€60,000 for the land
---------------------------
€300,000 total
The only supplier offering a house in this price range is Danwood.
Do you think I could achieve this with an architect-designed house as well?
Can you recommend any other suppliers?
Best regards,
Pascal

knalltüte29 Sep 2020 21:52my preliminary observations (I am open to alternatives) are as follows: In recent years, logging has been conducted unsustainably out of necessity, so that despite the availability of beetle-infested wood, there is a shortage of high-quality construction timber. This is likely driving prices upward.

knalltüte29 Sep 2020 21:54So, back On Topic: I think this is possible. If the building area is approved (boundary construction allowed), then I can also envisage this financially. I am happy to share my cost breakdown for my 128m² (1375 sq ft) semi-detached house after completion. Then you would be able to see it (unless more unforeseen issues arise :rolleyes).

My unconfirmed facts (I’m happy to hear alternatives) are as follows: In recent years, timber harvesting has been forced to overexploit resources, so despite beetle-damaged wood, there is a shortage of good-quality construction timber. This probably drives prices up. Besides, I can hardly imagine that beetle-damaged wood is suitable for house construction.
The bark beetle seems to worsen the shortage of usable construction timber, doesn’t it?

The bark beetle actually worsens the issue with the supply of usable construction timber, doesn’t it?Brief off-topic reply. Public data is available from Statista or other government sources or industry associations. Prices have dropped significantly. This information can also be found on Google. This applies to construction timber as well. P.S. My own information comes from a large construction company that builds nationwide using timber modular construction methods. Residential houses and student apartments.
We often spend time walking in forests. The actual number of trees in a forest becomes truly visible only when they are stacked along the forest paths.
Beetle-infested wood is fully suitable as structural timber; it mainly shows discoloration that does not affect its quality.
Bark beetles damage the price, but not so much the current price—rather the price that the windthrown trees would have fetched in the years when they would normally have been harvested under normal circumstances.
