Hello everyone,

We finally want to have our own home. The plan is, or what should be included:
- 2 full floors with about 140 - 145sqm (1507 - 1561 sq ft)
- Turnkey delivery excluding floor coverings and painting of walls
- Air source heat pump including underfloor heating
- Foundation slab
- Solid or prefabricated house doesn’t matter
- KfW 55 standard
- No garden, garage, or exterior landscaping

Our budget is 230,000 Euros just for the house. Land and additional construction costs will be separate.

We have an offer from Massa Haus that fits this range, but I’m not completely confident about it.

Is our building project even feasible?

I’ve skimmed through all the offers. To me, you’re closer to a shell house than a “turnkey” solution. There are so many items listed as “by the builder” that I can’t even begin to list them all.

Yes, the itemization is missing. Or was it encouragement after all :p

For the material takeoff, you need some encouragement! 😀

A garage is not planned for now. Is the upgrade included? Wallpaper, doors, tiles, etc. Interior finishing as own work means we do the tiling and painting ourselves. However, the materials will be supplied.

It's not that I want to defend the offer, I just want to understand where the mistake is.

So, it’s about a shell house without interior doors, window sills, floor coverings, and such...

ypg, why the aggressive "undertone"?

I’m not being aggressive. It’s just tiring having to ask a main poster like you the same questions repeatedly. I’m willing to give advice, but it’s difficult when the main poster hesitates to provide details.

Here, regarding the upgrade, what should be included

These are packages that you can add additionally. They are not included in your house price.

Interior doors are listed, as well as the coverings and so on. However, I’m not sure if the cost estimate is realistic. According to the consultant, everything should be included, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. I will ask him again for a more detailed breakdown, including how much has been allocated for coverings and so forth.

You already had the right gut feeling 😉

Have you finalized the selections for this? I don’t see it on your quote!
