ᐅ Construction costs are absolutely crazy these days, aren't they?

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...

We have now reached a price of 2,000 EUR for a comparable house (KfW70 standard, basement with waterproof concrete shell, gas heating, flat roof, 158 m² (1700 ft²)). The garage or a carport, additional costs for a concrete roof, as well as ancillary building costs, land, etc., are not included. We have intensively requested various quotes. It is theoretically possible to build somewhat cheaper, but then the quality and appearance suffer. -> Cologne area2,000 for a house? I’ll take 10-15 of those. 🙂

@Bauexperte, do you also build in southern Lower Saxony? 😉 Your posts are really valuable.

Bauexperte8 Nov 2012 16:43Hello,
That is not achievable with a medium standard; not even with a flat roof. And you cannot reach the KfW 70 standard with gas heating alone. Could there be a district heating connection hidden behind your specifications?
I have attached an example of a single-family house about 10 sqm (100 sq ft) larger with a flat roof and unusual architecture, so not just a simple box or cube. Calculating the base price including the basement with waterproofing plus a mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery, I do not exceed €1,800.00 per sqm (per sq ft) of living space. I only reach €2,000.00 if the basement is fully finished as living space.
If you like - Cologne is among my areas - you can send me a private message.
Best regards

I have attached an example of a detached house that is about 10 square meters (approximately 108 square feet) larger, featuring floor heating and an unusual architectural design; so not just a simple box or cube. If I add a controlled ventilation system with heat recovery to the base price, which includes the basement with waterproofing, I don’t exceed €1,800.00 per square meter (approximately $167 per square foot) of living space. I only surpass €2,000.00 when the basement is fully finished as living space.
Best regardsAm I understanding you correctly that the attached house, including the basement, costs just over 300,000 EUR plus additional expenses?
Turnkey?

Turnkey excluding painting and flooring (hallway, toilet, kitchen, and bathroom are excluded because they are tiled).
Kind regards
