Then I would also like to introduce our building project here and keep you updated.
First, a brief introduction about us. He (42.5 years; controller in healthcare), she (38.5 years; full-time teacher), child (8.75 years; fully dependent). Our household net income is currently about €6,400 (approximately $6,800) plus performance bonuses, 13th-month salary, overtime, etc. We own a 1,462 sqm (15,735 sq ft) plot of land in Fichtenwalde. The remaining debt on the land is €37,000 (about $39,000). According to official land value guidelines, the land is valued at €146,200 (about $156,000) (€100 / sqm). The market price is around €400,000 to €600,000 (recent sale prices). We submitted the building permit application including the land conversion at the end of December. We expect approval by mid to late July.
The construction company is KB Brandis from Jüterbog. External site supervision will be handled by Bauherrenhilfe with 13 appointments.
Now about the house. It will be a 144 sqm (1,550 sq ft) bungalow plus a 12 sqm (130 sq ft) covered terrace with the following additions:
- Ceiling height 3.00 m (9.8 ft)
- Electric roller shutters (including smart home integration)
- Double-sided laminated windows (wood-colored; RC3 security rating)
- Brine-to-water heat pump with ground collectors due to water protection area (Bosch Compress 7800i LW)
- Hydraulic balancing of the underfloor heating
- Controlled residential ventilation with heat recovery (Bosch)
- Motion detectors from a security company
- 13 kWp photovoltaic system, including battery preparation
- 10 m³ (2,650 gal) cistern for rainwater use
- Doorbell with video function
- Wallbox preparation for electric vehicle charging
- Exterior lighting
Floor plan attached.
We have not yet finalized financing (although discussions have taken place). So far, we have invested up to €30,000 (approximately $32,000) from our own savings during the planning phase. This is almost all of our equity. However, we continue to save about €2,750 (approximately $2,920) per month. The monthly mortgage payment is expected to be around €1,650 (about $1,750) plus additional costs of approximately €200-250 (about $210-265) (taking into account the photovoltaic system). This means when we move into the house, we will still have savings of at least €1,500 (about $1,590) per month.
The construction contract will be signed within the next few weeks. The prices (recently discussed with the company) correspond to the offer and commitment as of September 2020.
The price per square meter of the house (according to the latest offer and full specification) will be €2,700 (about $2,870). This includes everything, such as painting, flooring, etc. The overall costs are structured as follows:
House: €378,000 (about $402,000)
Land conversion including reclassification: €25,000 (about $26,600)
Additional building costs: €40,000 (about $42,500)
Outdoor facilities: €25,000 (about $26,600)
Total financing volume: €468,000 (about $498,000)

Neubau202219 Jul 2022 08:05So much for "everything is running smoothly" 😎 These are more like "minor" issues (my boss calls them challenges; there are no problems).
1. Installation of the ground collector panels. The first plan stated that the collectors would be 5 meters (16 feet) wide and about 20 meters (66 feet) long, thus occupying less than a quarter of the backyard area. Now the company has changed because the previous one, which worked nationwide in Germany, no longer operates in the eastern region due to lower earnings there. So, a regional company has to be used. However, this company installs the collectors side by side at a depth of 1.30 meters (4 ft 3 in), not stacked vertically at 80 centimeters (31 inches) depth. This is positive since the collectors are more efficient that way, but it means 8.5 meters (28 feet) of the 20-meter (66-foot) width of the backyard will be used. No deep-rooted plants are allowed above this area, no permanent structures (only easily movable garden sheds) can be built, and the pool (if we decide to build one) cannot be installed there. We don’t consider this a big issue, but I only found out about it yesterday, right before the work started. According to the general contractor, there was a plan from the managing director that proposed 5 meters (16 feet) width. The technician (worker) dismissed that plan yesterday, saying it is not feasible...
2. The delivery date for the geothermal heat pump is still unknown. We hope it will be delivered by the end of August. Hope dies last...
