The world and this forum do not need someone as antisocial as you! Unlike what I wrote, that is indeed an insult. There are rules in this forum, which I have not violated.

Even the 750,000 would be really tight for your project – but whatever – I’m not taking any of this seriously anymore... What is everyone doing when building their house? Are you just accepting the first offer at overpriced rates? One of the future neighbors received a quote from a construction company for a 165sqm (1,776 sq ft) house at nearly 2,000 €/m2. That was about 9 months ago.

One of the prospective neighbors received a quote from a construction company for a 165m² (1,776 sq ft) house at just under €2000 per m² (€186 per sq ft). This was about 9 months ago.Additional costs for earthworks, ancillary construction costs, and exterior landscaping were estimated at around €75,000.

although I certainly wouldn’t be willing to invest 750K.Then do yourself a favor and start over, smaller this time. And less intentionally luxurious.idasb79 schrieb:

This was about 9 months ago.Construction costs were a completely different matter 9 months ago! Besides, you don’t know what level of fittings and scope your neighbor included in that price. For example, we are only paying 500k to our builder. We are contracting electrical work ourselves, as well as HVAC, bathrooms, tiling, photovoltaic system, and the garage. All of that is additional, and it’s not cheap! You get the point?

Which participants do you mean? Most of you are probably here out of boredom, so my posts actually give some meaning to your time. :p Sorry, but I am definitely not here out of boredom, and your post has not added any deeper meaning to my otherwise empty life. I have been active here for years, received many useful tips for my own building project, and above all, I am here to give something back, because a forum thrives on mutual exchange and support.

At the moment, a few prices in the market are stabilizing; for example, my roofer says that lumber prices are still about 2.5 times higher compared to last year. Therefore, a realistic cost estimate is essential.
And to address the boredom some forum members might feel: I believe most people here are professionally busy and well-qualified. They are not here to pass the time but because many have already gone through the entire building process (sometimes multiple times) and are willing to share their experiences. This can be very beneficial and help avoid major planning mistakes, as well as other issues that laypeople might simply be unaware of or not consider. Furthermore, some members also work professionally in this field. So your comment is very inappropriate and offensive, @idasb79.
