Currently, I am renting a house and paying €1200 cold rent. So the idea is: why not build? I have a very secure job and earn about €3500 net. I would be willing to put up to €1500 into a loan for buying or building a house.
I am 35 years old and recently managed to buy a plot of land at a good price (region of Swabia, south of Augsburg).
At first, I received offers from well-known prefab house manufacturers ranging between €230,000 and €270,000 (120 m2 (1290 ft2), basement, no KfW 55 energy standard, including additional building costs of €40,000). In the past few weeks, I have increasingly approached regional solid construction providers. But the price shock didn’t take long to show...
Excluding additional building costs, the prices I’ve been quoted range from €300,000 to €340,000, and including them, from €340,000 to €370,000. These are not particularly fancy houses, just standard designs. That corresponds to prices between €2500 and €2800 per m2 (232 and 260 per ft2) (???)
I have been following this forum for a few weeks now, and the prices seem high to me. The solid construction providers all refer to the usual reasons (better quality, regional construction prices, local craftsmen instead of Eastern European labor...). Still, I find it tough to pay almost €400,000 for a basic house. The difference between the cheapest prefab house and the most expensive solid construction house is €140,000!
How do you assess this? This can’t be real, right? Or am I just paying premium prices for this booming region?
If anyone has a tip for an offer in the region, please share.
(If I’m allowed to post the names of the prefab house providers, I can do so here or by PM if necessary).

We actually experienced the exact opposite: communication was excellent, always available when needed, even reachable on Sundays. Solutions were found for everything, and only local subcontractors from the district worked on the construction site.
And cheaper than local brick-and-mortar companies? I can’t say, and I actually don’t think so. The prices you see online are also not realistic.
So, you could say that you’re not really building with TuC itself, but with the franchise partner. That’s what really matters.

All three quotes were roughly within my budget but consistently somewhat higher. Similar house models were selected, additional purchase costs were always estimated slightly differently, and the contacts were all friendly.
In the meantime, I have found reputable regional solid construction providers that meet my price requirements.
