ᐅ Rear lot development infrastructure costs?

The fire department says they use hoses directly from the street anyway, as they cannot access the driveways (which would probably be damaged anyway).

Sorry... but that doesn’t add up. The €15,000 (approx. $15,900) for road access doesn’t apply to rear site development... also it should be €23,000 (approx. $24,400), not €32,000 (approx. $33,900) (?). Or am I mistaken?

I don’t know what tasty drink you have in front of you, but rear site development was, is, and will always be expensive. A 40.00 m (131 feet) access road remains 40.00 m (131 feet); for public utility providers as well, and depending on the exact legal requirements, even 35.00 m (115 feet) is anything but cheap when it comes to access roads.

It “might” be somewhat cheaper for the gas connection; customers are moving away from gas, so some municipalities subsidize the homeowner’s connection. For example, I *would* need around €5,000 (approx. $5,300) just for the gas connection and only about 18.00 m (59 feet) of trenching; so we dig the trench ourselves and let the gas/water installer make the connections.

Now I’m lost... Are you serious? 30,000€ development costs for about 40 meters (130 feet)? And what exactly does traffic access mean? I know that our connection lines are at least already on "our" side of the street... does it have something to do with not having to dig up the whole road? Please have some patience – I’m really just starting out and still need to get to grips with the whole building process...

We paid 12,000 € including telecommunications and excluding gas.
Lenza’s breakdown also mentions 9,000 € excluding road construction, doesn’t it?
Sorry, but I’m not sure if I should have to put up with being criticized here.

When it comes to money, my patience ends!

Not only do you need safe access to your property, but also the fire department; so Benjamin’s comment is more than justified. Then you need to check the specific provisions in the zoning plan; it will specify which materials are allowed for the access road.

Still, there are about 39.00 to 39.50 meters (128 to 130 feet) to the house; around 39.50 to 40.00 meters (130 to 131 feet) up to the rear of the first wall of your new build. All public utilities have to reach that point; some require separate trenches for each connection into the house, others only allow a multi-utility connection point. Some have flat-rate charges, others only up to a certain distance flat-rate. That’s how one thing leads to another—do you know why properties in backland developments are comparatively more affordable?

If you want precise information, call your utility providers!

23,000 euros for development costs is 11,000 euros less than your amount, and nobody is offended; where do you get that from? Wasn’t my joke about the drink clear to you?

I am saying that 30,000 euros for development costs — public utilities including access to the detached house — is a realistic figure!
