Hello,
for the interior insulation of our timber-framed house (ground floor and upper floor, each about 100 m² (1,076 sq ft) of living space), the architect estimated around 200 euros per m² (about 19 dollars per sq ft) of wall area for materials and labor, so a total of more than 50,000 euros. That seems very high to me.
From my research, the panels cost a maximum of 50 euros per m² (about 5 dollars per sq ft).
What total costs per m² should I normally expect?
Good luck

Strange... Acquaintances of ours renovated a floor in an older (timber-framed) house to rent it out as a holiday apartment. They installed insulation boards as interior insulation on the walls as a DIY project. During a visit, I mentioned "dew point shift" and was met with puzzled looks. I’m curious if this will eventually cause problems, assuming I find out about it... 🙄 If nothing else was done, it can work out fine. Leaky windows and doors, infrequent heating, and minimal cooking and living keep the walls dry enough. But with normal residential use, it can go seriously wrong.

Who prepares the old walls so that the panels can be installed? Who pays for the adhesive to attach them? Who installs them? Who replasters the insulation? And so on.
These tasks are not done by elves, but by tradespeople (who also need materials for this) and expect to be paid accordingly.
Whether the complete package will cost €180 or €210 in the end, I cannot say due to lack of experience, but I can well imagine it. That’s why I mentioned "materials and labor."
However, the labor portion seems very high to me.
For comparison, the architect also suggested the alternative of "clay bricks," where total costs were about 20% lower, even though building with bricks is surely more labor-intensive than screwing on wooden panels.
