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)

I watched the video about the device... and saw the price.. Honestly, I’m just too stingy for something like that.. 😉 My stove cost 600 EUR (about $640), and that includes the oven, too.I just realized... I also needed a range hood for that, which adds nearly 400 EUR (about $430)... so I have to be fair and mention that 😉 And I admit, the range hood really does attract all the greasy dust.
You can also wipe over it once. But if there were crumbs or similar and you weren’t careful, they end up in the gaps or at the bottom of the drip tray, yes. However, they are still there the next time you clean properly and don’t cause any damage in the meantime.
@Steffi33 Yes, but you already have the oven, so it comes out about the same.
I needed something like that because of the window in front of the stove... And the Tesla really works. I got it for 1200 in a deal. The Bora, Gaggenau, and all the other options are too expensive for me as well.

Neubau202229 Oct 2022 09:21Unfortunately, the house building forum page has been very slow for me for weeks. It takes minutes to load the site.
We moved in about a week ago. Today is the handover of the apartment. The washbasins for both bathrooms have also arrived. However, the silicone seal on the black countertop was done very poorly. This will be fixed. Otherwise, we are very satisfied with everything. Internet including LAN is working thanks to a forum member who was able to help me.
