ᐅ Home Construction Companies in Franconia

Hello everyone,

I am new to the forum, so I would like to introduce myself briefly.

I am 31 years old and live in Nuremberg. My girlfriend and I are planning to build a house. At the moment, we are looking for a suitable home construction company. We have already received an offer for a solid masonry house, but the costs were very questionable. We had estimated €250,000 and ended up at €350,000.

I would appreciate if someone could give me an idea, or at least approximate figures, for the following planning:

• House with a separate apartment (upper or ground floor, either is fine)
• about 180 sq m (about 1,940 sq ft)
• Land is already available
• and possibly a double garage
• No basement needed

I hope you can support me a bit.

Thank you in advance.

Best regards

House with a granny flat (upper or ground floor, doesn’t matter)

“Doesn’t matter” is 88

Solid, monolithic, or with external thermal insulation composite system (ETICS), one or two stories, flat roof, gable roof, hip roof, half-hip roof, or shed roof, straightforward architecture or bay window/dormer/gable dormer, energy saving regulation or energy-efficient house?

Prefabricated garage or masonry?

*FD = flat roof
*SD = gable roof
*WD = hip roof
*Krüppelwalmdach = half-hip roof
*PD = shed roof

Hello, thank you Bauexperte for your quick response.

It doesn’t matter, 88 is correct.

So if anything, a gable roof and rather the straightforward design, and the garage (that doesn’t matter, it just needs to match the house). A solid construction house would be good and, of course, an energy-efficient house.

Hi,

The building expert already mentioned it, but you need to describe your requirements more precisely. And 250,000 euros for 180 square meters (approximately 1,940 square feet) is really tight, even without a basement. That’s less than 1,400 euros per square meter (about 130 dollars per square foot). We are building in Schwabach with a similar house size and end up at around 2,000 euros per square meter (about 186 dollars per square foot), but with a basement. If you estimate the basement at 50,000 to 70,000 euros (about 55,000 to 77,000 dollars), you’re looking at approximately 300,000 euros (about 330,000 dollars) for 180 square meters (approximately 1,940 square feet). You’ll likely only get significantly below that with a very, very basic construction method.

We had good discussions with

Dörr Haus,
Büttner,
Assmann,
Meisterhaus.

They are all based locally here and have built several houses very well in our development area.

Best regards,

Andreas

One- or two-story?

Both options are possible; a prefabricated garage is always more affordable. Traditionalists prefer masonry and a gable roof.

We could go on like this endlessly; it needs to be a bit more precise.

I’ll just mark the beginning. Detached house, 180 sqm (1937 sq ft) on a slab foundation, knee wall: 1.40 m (4 ft 7 in), access to the two apartments via a projecting cross-gable (this way, the staircase is outside the main plan and takes up hardly any valuable living space). In the attached example, you can see that the colored cross-gable coordinates well with the vertical stripes on the gable side, giving the house a lot of charm despite the generally simple architecture.

Costs for slab foundation: around EUR 310,000
Costs for KfW 55 standard: around EUR 16,500 (08 clay brick, insulation under the slab, controlled mechanical ventilation with heat recovery, energy consultant)
Costs for painting/floor coverings: EUR 20,000
Double garage as a prefabricated garage: EUR 12,000 (flat roof garage)
Additional construction-related costs: EUR 30,000 (assuming you already own the land)
Costs for exterior work included in the total: EUR 10,000 (only essentials)
Reserve for extras: EUR 10,000

All in estimated for Bavaria: EUR 408,500*

With that, the offer from the solid construction builder is not really unreasonable; hoping to realize a two-family house for EUR 250,000, on the other hand, is quite optimistic.

*The small amount of partial color in the example doesn’t cost much.

There is a prefabricated house company in Bad Brückenau. However, with a budget of €300,000, you definitely won’t be able to meet your expectations there.
