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 foundation slab is clearly visible. Oh, the blocks are from Eder – does that include the Pumuckl?
I think they’re a bit awkwardly placed there: you have to move them first before you can start building the walls.

You're right :-) I'll go there again 🙂I would seal those properly as well. Otherwise, they won’t last long, and you’ll end up with dirt inside during construction.

I think they look a bit awkward there: you have to move them first before you can start building the walls. I don’t have to do any bricklaying 😎 And yes, Pumuckl is included. All the shell builders must be red-haired...

In our case, all of them were properly sealed. During construction, a lot of debris is generated, and you don’t really want that inside the pipes because it’s difficult or even impossible to remove later.
If the general contractor doesn’t do it, I would take care of it myself.

Guys, seriously: Do you really think a construction fence can prevent theft even remotely? Its main purpose is liability and to keep passersby away from hazardous areas. For anything else, you need other measures like a construction watch.I’m not familiar with the legal situation. But overcoming a construction fence or breaking a lock might qualify as aggravated theft, which leads to harsher legal consequences.
There could also be insurance reasons for it.
Although many don’t take out insurance anymore because it has simply become too expensive.
Insulation wool, XPS, wood, and polystyrene are in short supply.
But why would anyone steal bricks? (Effort vs. benefit)
You’d need a 40-ton truck with a crane attachment to load everything.
People are more likely to load a 500 kg (1100 lbs) compactor into a 3.5-ton (3.9 US ton) van and be gone in 5 minutes...
However, my building materials supplier confirmed that during the peak of the supply crisis, entire external thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS) were ripped off the facade and stolen.
“Why should the customer wait when Hassan has a contract for 20,000 cash but no materials available — you need a solution”
- so much for that topic
