Hello everyone,
We are planning to build or buy a single-family house. Currently, we are looking at a bungalow with about 110m² (1,184 sq ft), which we would convert into a single-family home with a gable roof. For a new single-family house, we would budget just under 300,000€ plus the cost of the land, additional expenses, utility connections, garage, garden, kitchen, walls, floors, etc.
The price would include finishing the attic, underfloor heating, decentralized ventilation, roller shutters, two gable dormers typical for manor-style houses, and KfW 55 energy standard. The house would be about 180-190m² (1,937–2,045 sq ft). All this without a basement.
What do you estimate the cost would be to expand the bungalow to about 180m² (1,937 sq ft)? The foundation slab, utility connections, and windows could be retained. About three-quarters of the exterior walls could remain, and a few internal walls would need to be altered. The gable roof should have long dormers on both sides. The ceiling would need to be renewed, and the kitchen and bathroom downstairs remodeled. The insulation would have to be renewed on the outside, and the entire exterior recladded with facing bricks.
What would the value of the bungalow be if it were credited towards a new build? It dates back to the 1970s but has been continuously maintained.
There is a wide price range for renovations online. If you even have rough cost ranges broken down by trade, that would be great. I want to renovate/convert to meet the KfW 55 standard to take advantage of the 48,000€ funding available through program 430.
Best regards

Yes, that’s what I meant. When you mentioned the 300,000, you referred to
That does not equal €1600 per square meter.

That’s not 1,600 euros per square meter.Including the finished attic.But my main concern here is the bungalow renovation.

If I understand correctly, you want to basically gut renovate the ground floor and add another story on top. Not much of the original structure will be preserved (basically, I only see the ground floor walls remaining, but maybe I’m mistaken), so your final cost probably won’t be as much cheaper than a new build as you might expect.

Can anyone with experience give me approximate prices for the following work/materials? It’s unlikely that anyone here can provide detailed information. Prices vary quite a bit depending on the region, and even if someone remembers the heating prices from two years ago, they don’t necessarily apply to your house.
This is also not a tradesmen’s forum...
Renovations are not always cheaper than building new. Refurbishing an existing house is worthwhile if you can contribute a large part of the physical work and construction knowledge yourself, if a new build is not approved as easily as renovating the existing property, or if the renovation has sentimental value.
Otherwise, in my opinion, you hardly save anything given the effort and scope of the remodeling/renovation you are planning.
I would recommend consulting a professional instead of just non-experts like us.
Secondary escape routes are evacuation paths used in case of fire when the staircase is no longer accessible due to smoke.
