My name is Michael and I live in beautiful South Baden!
I have a question for you.
A few years ago, we purchased an old residential house with an outbuilding.
We have largely renovated the residential house ourselves; it dates back to 1748.
We really stripped everything down, including the base plaster, ceiling coverings, floors, walls, etc., so we’re not inexperienced.
Now we want to add two floors to our outbuilding.
We can skip the building permit / planning permission for now, and an architect will come this October.
But I’d like to start estimating the costs a bit already.
So I’m asking for your opinion!
The outbuilding is directly attached to our house and borders the neighbor’s property with its own gable wall.
It is about 9m (30 feet) long and 8m (26 feet) wide. The ground floor is made of rubble stone with no basement and about 80cm (31 inches) thick walls.
On top of the ground floor is an old oak roof structure that needs to be removed, along with a wooden beam ceiling.
The outbuilding is considerably lower than our house, and the extension would raise it to the height of the house.
On the ground floor there is my wife’s shop, and above that is currently just an attic.
Our plan is to build two storeys on top plus a new roof frame.
There will only be two large rooms of about 50sqm (540 sqft) each.
Heating will be provided by individual wood stoves; the chimney is in place and in good condition.
We will need sanitary installations, a kitchen, and heating installations.
The roof frame will not have dormers or anything similar.
I’m thinking of having the new exterior walls prefabricated in timber frame construction, installing two new wooden beam ceilings, and building the stairs between the floors.
We will do the floors and plastering ourselves; for electrical work and windows, we have family to help.
What do you think this will cost?
Thanks and best regards!
Michael
