Hello everyone,
For our construction project, I am currently trying to obtain cost estimates for utility connections. I have already received rough estimates from the electricity provider and the water utility. Since a sewer connection is already available on the property, I assume I should contact the city’s civil engineering department.
So, a quick question: Who is usually responsible for carrying out the sewer connection from the house? The city? A civil engineering contractor?
Thanks in advance.

So, I have estimated 9,000 euros for the connections, based on information from this forum and other sources. Since the range can be quite large here, I wanted to gather more information, and so far this cost item looks reasonably acceptable. We’ll see if it stays that way.

Hmm.
Are the drainage pipes included in the general contractor’s scope? What about all the underground work on the property for that? Are you sure you have a sewer inspection chamber or that you don’t need one (those can be expensive)?
Is a rainwater collection tank or similar required or planned?
Your 9,000 euros for the access road: okay, let’s keep that.
Please check carefully what costs you will have for deviations or adjustments.
Best regards,

Civil engineering including rainwater connection and pressure testing of the house water supply 3600,-
Drinking water approx. 350 euros (according to fee schedule)
Electricity approx. 1200 euros (according to fee schedule)
Gas approx. 1000 euros (according to fee schedule)
Telecommunications 600 euros
P.S.
For water, gas, and electricity, there was an offset of approx. 300 euros each because the civil engineering work was carried out by the civil engineering company
