Our building consultant wants to help us reduce costs and therefore recommends, instead of using the prefab house manufacturer's own interior construction/drywall packages, an external contractor of his choice who is supposed to "halve" our drywall costs and with whom he has had positive experiences.
20,000 for a living area of approximately 220 m² (2,368 ft²).
I’m not opposed to this—there are worse things than creative building consultants who reduce costs—but when something is done externally, it is not part of the main construction contract and therefore carries some degree of risk.
Has anyone outsourced drywall work and know the price per square meter?
Best regards from Bavaria

No one can provide a service sustainably for half the price.

20k for a living area of about 220sqm (2,370 sq ft). Does that mean the drywall package from the house provider would cost 40,000 euros plus materials?
Otherwise, I agree with Saruss… 220 sqm (2,370 sq ft) of living area doesn’t really say anything about the quantities and specifications. And it doesn’t help if everyone just posts their costs here, because you end up comparing apples and oranges and currants with bananas.
