Hello everyone,
we would like to hear your opinions and feedback on our cost estimate.
Is this calculation realistic?
A few details in advance:
We live in the southern part of Baden-Württemberg. The potential plot of land is 746 sqm (8000 sq ft). The application has been submitted. The plot is fully serviced and is not on a slope.
Hoping that we will get the plot, we started to calculate what our single-family home can cost.
A financial confirmation for 500,000 € already exists.
Equipment preferences:
Rooms:
Now to the cost estimate:
What remains:
Does this seem reasonable and realistically calculated?
Furthermore, we have our first consultation appointment with FischerHaus GmbH coming up soon. We are not quite sure how to best prepare for it.
What is typically discussed during this first meeting?
One thing that causes us some anxiety is the salesperson asking about our budget. Of course, the salesperson needs some "room to maneuver," but I want to avoid them selling us a house below its actual value just because they know our budget.

The windows are arranged randomly, right?
And I’m quite surprised that the utility room is allowed on the building boundary.
There are several stages between the Energy Saving Ordinance and Passive House standards, and just because a building complies with the Energy Saving Ordinance, it can still receive subsidies from BAFA—for heating, ventilation, energy consulting, etc. The windows are deliberately arranged—or have we missed something?
Please keep in mind that you are seeing the entire building (2 semi-detached houses) and this is the northeast side. On the gable, you can see two entrance doors in the center (each semi-detached house contains two residential units).
Having the utility room on the boundary is not an issue as long as it does not contain any combustion equipment (oil, gas, pellets, etc.).
That’s correct, subsidies are also available for buildings meeting the Energy Saving Ordinance. However, the amount is significantly less than the full package from BAFA, KfW, Progress NRW, and others when the project is designed optimally with regard to funding.
