Hello everyone,

We are still in the quotation phase for a semi-detached house and want to build with a converted attic instead of a basement.
I was offered 24,000 euros for 26 sqm (280 sq ft) of living space with insulation, drywall on the sloped ceiling, a concrete staircase with wooden steps, screed, underfloor heating, electrical work, and plastering. Windows would be an additional 1,000 euros.
I consider this a high price, especially since friends paid 18,900 euros for the same house type and the same company 1.5 years ago.
What do you think? Overpriced or justified?

Can electrical and heating systems be easily expanded later, or should some provisions already be made?
