What do you think about this? At first, I was really surprised by the general contractor quotes I received. We’re planning a single-family house with a basement, about 151 sqm (1,625 sq ft) of living space, plus a single garage. We will handle some work ourselves (interior and exterior painting, laying tiles in the basement, building permit/planning permission via a friend who is an architect). It will be a solid masonry house with 36.5 cm (14.4 inches) Poroton filler blocks, KfW 70 standard, and an air-source heat pump. The cost is around 310,000 EUR. That’s over 2,000 EUR per sqm (about 186 USD per sq ft), excluding additional construction costs and land, and without the kitchen. The current offer doesn’t even include any special features yet at the selection phase. Another 10,000 EUR could easily be added. Incredible...

EFH-Südheide5 Nov 2012 09:46Well, I’ll just write here that you have a budget of 170,000-180,000 EUR just for the house, plus the land (at the moment, you can get fully serviced plots here in Südheide for 25-80 EUR per square meter). The answers you read say that there are no "reasonable" houses for this amount of money.

A small single-family house of about 120 square meters (1,290 square feet) is feasible; unfortunately, not larger.
Kind regards

Additionally, there is a bonus from a major construction financier (promoted by Nowitzki), who offers a discount on the KfW loan, resulting in an interest rate of 0.4% on the already favorable KfW loan. This means – with 35,000 euros equity – the monthly payment amounts to €829.00 for a KfW 70 energy-efficient house; that is €69.00 per month less than a comparable house built to the Energy Saving Ordinance standard.
Kind regards

And how would that be divided in square meters? Should I assume 60 sqm on the ground floor or a bit more since the sloped ceilings upstairs are deducted?
