I am looking forward to the updates on this project.

It would be nice if the original poster is not driven away.

His profile said Saarland ...
Does nobody want to go there?

Depends on where exactly... At first, I think, "Actually, the plot is quite affordable for such a size," but then on a second look I realize there’s a large house included as well...

I wish it were that simple. Since I am currently building in Saarland myself, I am somewhat surprised by the prices. Even here, land prices exceed 300€/m2 (about $28 per square foot).

Maybe some tradespeople are 2.50€ (about $2.75) cheaper, and there are certainly several who know someone who knows someone.

I’m happy for everyone. But even I, as a civil engineer, find some of these prices way beyond what I expected.

Oh, that should be fine. @hegi___ has been around long enough and started off quite provocatively themselves.
I’m also looking forward to reports on how well everything goes with self-management. There’s a lot to do.

Regarding the price per square meter, you could subtract the utility room, the staircase, and the cupboard under the stairs, but then it would actually become more expensive again.

It will be difficult to agree on one calculation here, I’m curious to see how it develops.

Still, you forgot the labor costs (own work).

This is just to artificially inflate the calculation. If the original poster manages it without giving up hours and thus wages, of course no hourly wages need to be charged.

No hours will be given up. No vacation due to corona and short-time work actually work in my favor.
Then there’s the VAT reduction...

The building location would be very interesting, because prices like that only exist in very specific areas of Germany. As someone from southern Germany, you can almost be jealous. You can see it best in items like interior and exterior plastering, which elsewhere can cost nearly twice as much.

But construction costs = value, which should not be forgotten during calculation. In Munich, you pay over 1 million, but you also create value. If the coronavirus crisis shakes the real estate market, the house in Munich will still be sellable, whereas in Vogtland it might only sell with extras included...

I also received an offer of 40k for plastering. My prices don’t necessarily reflect the wider market.

But my impression is that it’s quite cheap here if you really choose carefully.

I’m happy for everyone. But even I (civil engineer) am far from some of these prices.

So far I have only seen about 150€ (about $) per square meter in our area, but that’s in a new development. Plots with sky-high prices have been on the market for years without any buyers.

Yes, of course that was deliberately provocative.

I also think we will see where we end up.

My goal is clear. If it becomes expensive, there is still a reserve.
