ᐅ Rear lot development infrastructure costs?

Hello everyone,

On Saturday, we might buy a plot of land – and those are really scarce here.
The downside (or however you want to see it) is that it’s a rear lot, or a plot set far back from the street. The driveway is about 35 meters (115 feet), and the distance to the house is probably around 40 meters (130 feet).

A quick question: WHO has a similar plot and can tell me how much the costs are (especially for earthworks) for such a long access road? Of course, development costs and utility connections vary, but I would be extremely grateful for a rough estimate since I have no idea.

Thank you, thank you!!!

My utility providers only give limited information... by the way, there is no local development plan, but Section 34 of the Building Code applies.

Sorry, but I have to disagree with you. Building in a developed area, set back in the second row, does not usually involve utility connection costs of €30,000. If you really include a 40m (130 feet) driveway at €50 per m² (€5 per square foot), that might come closer – but still not quite.

It may also be that there are specific regional requirements and regulations – for example, a fire department–accessible access road or the excavation and restoration of a federal road – that increase the costs.

In a new housing development, the situation may be different.

The external connection costs are roughly, for example in Lower Saxony, around 8,000 for electricity, water, gas, and telecommunications.

This applies to a connection length of 25 meters (82 feet). For each additional meter (3 feet), there is an extra charge. However, it is not excessive, but still affordable!

So please: ask, follow up, and investigate! These connection costs are a sizable amount of money but do not increase disproportionately for a narrow plot of land.

If the question marks refer to my answers – I’m talking about the total development costs; this includes a bit more than just the public utilities. Also, the costs for public utilities vary from municipality to municipality; I can hardly imagine this would be different in Northern Ireland.

Agreed.

In southern Hamburg, with a similar access route: creating a construction road and laying empty conduits plus water/sewage on our property cost €12,500; construction electricity €950; telecommunications €400; power grid €5,000. In addition, the water connection on the street is estimated at around €5,000 by the waterworks. Then there is also the sidewalk restoration with the city for €5,000.

So please: ask around, inquire, and be persistent! These development costs are a significant amount of money but do not rise excessively for a narrow strip of land.

Hello and thank you!
That’s what I thought too, but why then are there so many statements that the costs become enormous?

Where did you get the information about the 8000? Did you build yourself? And does that include everything/earthworks, etc.?

Thank you very much!!
