Hello everyone, sorry for my poor German. My wife and I have just purchased a plot of land and plan to start building in early 2022. The problem is that the property cost more than we expected and has used up part of our budget for the house. My question is, is it possible to build a 160 m2 (1,722 sq ft) house with a budget of 350,000, including construction costs and everything that comes with it? Thanks in advance.

We currently have 2 children, but we want 4 bedrooms plus guest rooms, since it’s a 30-minute drive to the nearest family member Now you’re faced with the choice: 2 children and a 120m (1300 sq ft) house, or increasing the loan amount 🤨

I have received some quotes from modular home companies, and they seem to be in the right price range, but I am unsure about hidden costs and so on. Catalog prices for modular homes usually do not include the foundation slab, transportation, and often not the architect’s fees, which are generally only a few thousand euros. Otherwise, you need to carefully review the scope of services to identify additional costs.

We currently have 2 children, but we want 4 with guest rooms, since the nearest family member is 30 minutes away. Most people commute 30 minutes to work every day, so that is not really a reason to build a separate guest room now. Or are you planning for 4 children?

Bigmack15514 Mar 2021 23:24I definitely do not rely on catalog prices and review every detail in the construction specifications. Believe me, no stone will be left unturned. I have been up to date with every spare moment I have for the past 3 months and will continue until I am confident about every detail.

By "Hebel / Ytong / Silka" I mean the main competitor to Ytong, which also offers prefabricated houses;
by "there are other levers than do-it-yourself walls" I mean planning and design features such as hip roofs, bay windows, corner windows, and similar elements. Or, if you place your house in the far corner of the lot, you could pave the driveway with banknotes. Numerous small details add up to larger costs that cannot be offset by doing the masonry work yourself. Thanks, I’ve already looked into that.
