Hello dear community,
I have been working for several days on a project to build a multi-generational house for my parents and me. I have already looked through various models from several prefabricated house companies. The "Allkauf Haus Generation 5 V2" caught our attention immediately. However, I have some doubts about the company and the prefabricated house concept in general; we currently live in a very good solid corner house, which unfortunately is too small for us.
In terms of price, the Allkauf house is very attractive (about 260,000 euros excluding additional construction costs, not turnkey because the interior finishing still needs to be completed).
How would you assess the prices for similar solid houses in the 220m² to 240m² (2,370 to 2,580 sq ft) range? Unfortunately, I cannot find anything comparable on the solid house general contractor websites! We had set a budget limit of about 350,000 euros for a turnkey solid house with high-end features.
If you have any questions, I would be happy to describe our ideas in more detail.

You live in Bavaria. Let’s assume it’s not the greater Munich area, then for a ready-to-move-in house with upscale finishes (wood flooring, larger tiles, better bathroom fixtures) expect around €3000/m² (approximately $280 per sq ft). If it’s near Munich, it could be €4000–4500/m² (about $370–420 per sq ft). In the more remote Upper Palatinate region, maybe around €2500/m² (roughly $230 per sq ft) ...That’s nonsense. Those numbers are wildly exaggerated. Building is expensive, but to reach €3000/m² (about $280 per sq ft), half the house would have to be made of glass. I’m currently building in Bavaria and have many acquaintances doing the same, but none of them come close to those figures.

the original poster mentioned "high-end finishes" in their opening post. What exactly that includes is of course open to interpretation.
To me, that means things like electric external blinds on all windows, controlled mechanical ventilation for living spaces, tiles at 50€/m2 (about $4.60/sq ft), hardwood flooring at 70€/m2 (about $6.50/sq ft), quality windows and doors with burglary protection, dimmable power outlets, network sockets in all living rooms, interior doors with concealed hinges, bathroom fixtures by Villeroy & Boch, spotlights recessed in ceilings in bathrooms and hallways, and so on.
Of course, it’s possible to build more cheaply in Bavaria. But is that still considered "high-end finishes"? For the smaller general contractors I know in the greater Nuremberg/Fürth/Erlangen area, the above represents high-end finishes. And with that, the cost per square meter is about 3000€ (yes, maybe 2938.76€).

For a high-end standard in Bavaria, I would estimate 3,500€–4,500€.High-end is a flexible term, and Bavaria is a large region, so generalizing is difficult. However, in the metropolitan areas mentioned, that estimate can be quite accurate.
