ᐅ Are construction costs applicable to small houses?

I have been browsing various topics in the forum for some time but so far have only come across larger construction projects: 120 sqm to 180 sqm (1300 sq ft to 1900 sq ft) or similar.

Therefore, I wonder if anyone here has experience with very, very small residential buildings?

For example: 40 sqm (430 sq ft) of living space (see Thule KuBu40), which is just enough for one person, especially if there is an accompanying garden, conservatory, etc.

Can I still expect costs roughly like the following, adapted from a response in another thread:

Land already owned
2500€/sqm (230$/sq ft): 100,000€
30,000€ for outdoor facilities
Additional construction-related costs 50,000€
No basement

So about 180,000€ in total? My goal is to have a base comparable to my apartments from the last 10 years (30–50 sqm / 320–540 sq ft), but with a private garden and a view of nature.

Unfortunately, I have not been very successful searching the forum, and on my other questions I keep getting lost in threads that are unrelated to what I am asking.

So a link to a similar project would also be very helpful.

Thanks in advance if anyone feels like responding 🙂

That is basically understandable, but what is not, is that the main motivation behind this is a hoped-for or gambled KfW subsidy.

In what way gambled? It actually shouldn’t be rejected if the relevant standard is met and the application is submitted on time.

That may be true, but to me, making a decision to build a house (or anything else) under funding pressure, as seems to be the case here, does not seem appropriate.

What do you mean by taking a gamble? The permit really shouldn’t be denied as long as the required standards are met and the application is submitted on time.

The deadline is only theoretically still in the future, but realistically, it can only be met if you step into a time machine and put the pedal to the metal in reverse. Your energy consultant would have to be your absolute best friend if you want to have your starting number punched in on time within six weeks (with Christmas and New Year in between!). Forget it—you’ve already slept on it far too long.

I will still receive the documents from the prefab house manufacturer, right? Do I need the support of an energy consultant to fill out the application? According to the seller, they calculate the energy consumption for my location for the house.

Then I could at most try to include the non-approval of the application as a cancellation right in the contract (maybe naïve of me 🙂

The seller received an email today from the prefab house manufacturer with deadlines/numbers about how many BEZ (?) numbers can still be managed, based on staffing.

If the energy consultant works for the prefab house provider, it is definitely possible—as I have experienced myself.
House order signed on November 14, today applied for and received approval for the KfW55 subsidy.
