It is said to be one of the largest and most reputable manufacturers of prefabricated basements. I have seen the name somewhere before, but I don’t know any details. It just seems unusual to me that a basement can be built for 9999 €.
That price must include the excavation, utility connections, drainage, insulation, ground floor ceiling, basement windows, etc., which is why I’m asking: Has anyone ever received a prefabricated basement for 9999 € and can share their experience?

schornstein3 May 2010 09:44I would like to add:
- Are light wells included?
- Are drainage and rainwater pipes included?
- Costs for spoil disposal if there is no possibility to store the soil on the property.
I totally agree with Häuslebauer – these costs will definitely come up, but as personal work.

Hello Schornstein,
you are absolutely right, I forgot to mention the positions. If I have calculated correctly, just the so-called additional costs for excavation work, earthworks, surveying services, connection to the public utility network, etc., amount to about 10,000 € (approx. $10,700). And there is still no basement on our plot!

We had to install the rainwater pipes ourselves, as well as the light wells. That adds another 1,500. And this isn’t even a living basement!
Well, KfW40 with waterproof concrete, well insulated even under the floor slab.
So much for the 9,999 basement.

Georg Kessler9 May 2010 20:11Good evening everyone,
I have read through all the questions and answers regarding the basement for 9,999€ here.
Just for comparison: A proper garage with foundations and a floor slab, measuring 3m x 6m (10ft x 20ft), quickly costs 7,500€ or more!
How is that supposed to work with a basement, please?
As a rule of thumb: You should expect around 380€ per m² (35 per sq ft) of usable basement floor area.
So a usable basement with 100m² (1,076 sq ft) of floor area = 38,000€
Who can spot the difference?!
In conclusion, my advice:
Before signing the construction contract, better ask an expert, for example by contacting the client’s advisory service. Asking afterwards often gets expensive!
Regards

Four times 2,500 € equals a basement. Enough of an answer? Or do you want it a bit more detailed? No, seriously—in this age of flat-fee deals, everything is partially or fully free initially, only to be followed by a bill later. It’s no different here. On the other hand, this advertisement has been around for quite some time. It seems to work. A sale is a sale!
Oh man, that’s all I can say.
For 9,999, you get the concrete walls built with openings for the windows! And that’s a good thing.
The rest you have to do yourself.
2,000–3,000 € for the staircase,
some costs for the so-called windows and external insulation, and another 2,000 € for excavation.
You don’t have to pay more for a usable basement.
So, at most, you end up around 20,000 €.
It’s just like with electrical appliances: expensive doesn’t always mean better, and some want 50% more money for the same device.
Why always go for the expensive stuff?
Besides, the promotion from Allkauf Haus includes even more in the price.
They manage these prices because, unlike other companies that build a maximum of 500 houses per year, they sell over 1,000 houses, and for production, Massa Haus and Allkauf Haus cooperate, plus I believe there’s a third company involved.
So, the basement is fine—my sister has one too and is satisfied. She paid 19,000 € for everything she needed for her basement.
I’m also building next year with Allkauf Haus or Massa Haus and know that the price-performance ratio is right.
