Hello everyone,
I am interested in whether it is possible to make general statements about costs in relation to the following cases:
1. Fully basemented vs. half basemented
2. A full upper floor vs. an upper floor that is only half the area of the ground floor
Please assume the same basic conditions in all cases, and an average single-family house with typical factors (location, soil, wall construction, etc.). I understand that many factors influence the exact costs, so I am not looking for precise figures. A rough estimate would already help, for example if it can be said:
“Half basemented costs about half as much as fully basemented.” Or is it more likely that the difference is not that significant because some costs are fixed and then spread over a larger basement area when fully basemented? So maybe it is more like: half basemented: 20,000 EUR, fully basemented: 30,000 EUR?
I would be interested in the same calculation for the upper floor. Is there a noticeable saving if, for example, in a Bauhaus style with a flat roof, you have a 100m² (1,076 sq ft) cube as the ground floor and place a 50m² (538 sq ft) cube as the upper floor on top? Compared to a 100m² (1,076 sq ft) ground floor with a 100m² (1,076 sq ft) upper floor?
Many thanks

Then rectangular, not cubic – excuse the wording. The style does not matter.
However, I suspect that (many) will clearly understand what I meant.
The "ground" was sand. I mean we got it for €1.5 per m³ (including pickup).
We have groundwater pressing against the foundation at 1.5m (5 feet) below the top of the property – in August. So a waterproof concrete basement is required.

The price cannot possibly cover a full basement including excavation work for this house size and as a "white tank" execution according to DIN standards! Otherwise, please put me in touch with your basement contractor; I am willing to buy some basements on credit without inspection.
