Then I would also like to introduce our building project here and keep you updated.
First, a brief introduction about us. He (42.5 years; controller in healthcare), she (38.5 years; full-time teacher), child (8.75 years; fully dependent). Our household net income is currently about €6,400 (approximately $6,800) plus performance bonuses, 13th-month salary, overtime, etc. We own a 1,462 sqm (15,735 sq ft) plot of land in Fichtenwalde. The remaining debt on the land is €37,000 (about $39,000). According to official land value guidelines, the land is valued at €146,200 (about $156,000) (€100 / sqm). The market price is around €400,000 to €600,000 (recent sale prices). We submitted the building permit application including the land conversion at the end of December. We expect approval by mid to late July.
The construction company is KB Brandis from Jüterbog. External site supervision will be handled by Bauherrenhilfe with 13 appointments.
Now about the house. It will be a 144 sqm (1,550 sq ft) bungalow plus a 12 sqm (130 sq ft) covered terrace with the following additions:
- Ceiling height 3.00 m (9.8 ft)
- Electric roller shutters (including smart home integration)
- Double-sided laminated windows (wood-colored; RC3 security rating)
- Brine-to-water heat pump with ground collectors due to water protection area (Bosch Compress 7800i LW)
- Hydraulic balancing of the underfloor heating
- Controlled residential ventilation with heat recovery (Bosch)
- Motion detectors from a security company
- 13 kWp photovoltaic system, including battery preparation
- 10 m³ (2,650 gal) cistern for rainwater use
- Doorbell with video function
- Wallbox preparation for electric vehicle charging
- Exterior lighting
Floor plan attached.
We have not yet finalized financing (although discussions have taken place). So far, we have invested up to €30,000 (approximately $32,000) from our own savings during the planning phase. This is almost all of our equity. However, we continue to save about €2,750 (approximately $2,920) per month. The monthly mortgage payment is expected to be around €1,650 (about $1,750) plus additional costs of approximately €200-250 (about $210-265) (taking into account the photovoltaic system). This means when we move into the house, we will still have savings of at least €1,500 (about $1,590) per month.
The construction contract will be signed within the next few weeks. The prices (recently discussed with the company) correspond to the offer and commitment as of September 2020.
The price per square meter of the house (according to the latest offer and full specification) will be €2,700 (about $2,870). This includes everything, such as painting, flooring, etc. The overall costs are structured as follows:
House: €378,000 (about $402,000)
Land conversion including reclassification: €25,000 (about $26,600)
Additional building costs: €40,000 (about $42,500)
Outdoor facilities: €25,000 (about $26,600)
Total financing volume: €468,000 (about $498,000)

The tiler will only start this Monday. From Tuesday, the crew will begin the exterior render. On Wednesday, work will start on the driveway and the concrete pillars for the fence. Attached is the updated plan showing which pillars will be installed.

There are also drum screens available if there are too many small stones.
What is the budget for the fence, including labor, and how long will it be? I really like it, but it will probably cost around €30,000 (about $32,000) for 20-30 meters (65-98 feet), at least that’s what I was once quoted. I then built it myself and installed a welded mesh panel fence.

How much is the fence allowed to cost? Including labor, and how long is it? I really like it, but it will probably be around +30,000 euros for 20-30 meters, at least that’s what I was once quoted. I then built it myself and installed a welded wire fence. You can probably rent a garden tiller at a hardware store, right?
The fence (20 m (65.6 ft) plus an electric 4 m (13.1 ft) gate, mailbox with number and name, and a wicket gate with a buzzer) costs about €17,000 gross (concrete and steelwork). There are two different companies involved. The welded wire fence 73 m (239 ft) (8/6/8) costs about €5,000 gross. Everything includes delivery and installation.
The concrete posts and the driveway will be completed starting tomorrow. I will post some pictures over the weekend.
