ᐅ The house costs are reasonable, but the costs for the garage are quite high.

Hello everyone,

We are currently in the process of purchasing a plot of land and have asked a construction company for a cost estimate beforehand.

The plan is to build a two-story single-family house with a monopitch roof (not staggered),
using 42 cm (16.5 inches) wide bricks.
The living area should be between 130 and 140 square meters (approximately 1,400–1,500 square feet).
No basement.
The details are still quite rough, but the house itself is not really my main concern here.
The estimate given was between 1,800 and 2,000 euros per square meter, which seems realistic and reasonable to us.
The shocker, however, is the garage. To gain some additional space due to the lack of a basement, we would like to have a double garage built with a small room behind it for storage. The price estimate for this is 80,000 euros.
That seems way too high, doesn’t it?
Could there be a reason why the company is quoting such a high price? Do construction companies not want to build garages and try to avoid them?

If that’s not a price to just walk away, then for 80 million there should already be a multi-story double garage with a jacuzzi on the roof terrace. Or at least a regular double garage including cars.

Well, it depends on which cars. I was quite surprised yesterday to learn that a "regular" A4 is supposed to cost over 70,000€ (about 75,000 dollars) at the dealership.

You must have a "strange" idea of what’s normal [emoji6]

Fully equipped but without metallic finish, I suppose...
