Hello everyone,

I’m new here. I’m near the end of my house planning and wanted to double-check if my cost calculation looks correct, or get your opinions on it. I gathered the prices myself (partly by getting quotes, partly by searching online, partly by talking to people).

Facts about the house and land:
Plot size: 808m² (9748 square feet) – already owned
Living area: 180m² (1938 square feet)
Double garage (extended to 9m (30 feet) to gain an additional parking space)
Double garage with basement
2 full floors
Hip roof

Location
Site setup: €1350
Earthworks: €6436
Sewer works: €1837
Reinforced concrete work: €45599
Masonry: €36609
Insulation: €4318
Plastering: €22966 (interior and exterior)
Heating: €25000 (air-to-water heat pump + underfloor heating)
Tiled stove: €13000 (as a room divider between dining and living room)
Ventilation system: €8000 (central)
Electrical: €8000
Floor coverings: €17000
Painting: €5000
Sanitary installations: €13000 (including fixtures)
Windows: €21000
Doors: €18000 (interior doors, front door, garage door)
Kitchen: €15000
Outdoor work: €8000
Roof: €10000 (calculated only for timber and roof shingles; I will do the rest myself :cool

Net total: €284,532.40
VAT: €54,061.20

Grand total: €338,594

What do you think? Does this look reasonable?

Thank you very much!

Kind regards,

What values do you have for the garage then?
I also have the values from the builder, and my bank has confirmed them.

However, I still find a detailed breakdown of the individual trades the most accurate and reliable.
Everything is backed by quotes, which also allows for adding a safety margin for each item.

Best regards
