Hello everyone,
I am very new to the topic of new construction and recently visited a model home park where all the houses are much too large for a couple and children.
Is it realistic to have 100 sqm (approximately 1076 sq ft) or more of living space? Have you ever considered this and had to give up something for reasons you prefer not to mention? What were your reasons? I appreciate any advice and opinions!
Thank you very much,

The 150,000€ should cover the house alone. Additional construction-related costs were not planned, but now I realize how unrealistic the whole project is. The budget should include interior furnishings including the kitchen, excluding carport/outdoor landscaping.
More likely one child, so a small extra bedroom, plus a guest roomDo I understand correctly? You want a house for 150,000€ including additional construction costs and move-in ready (meaning floors and painting done) and the kitchen included?
And all that with four rooms plus a utility/technical room?
If we subtract 2,000€ for the kitchen (I just saw an offer in a furniture catalog), that leaves 148,000€; minus 35–40,000€ for additional construction costs. Let's be optimistic and say it’s only 35,000€, so that leaves 113,000€.
There are some builders here who are quite cheap and manage 1,500€/m² (square meter). That would get you 75m² (807 sq ft); I would rather estimate 1,750€/m², then it’s only 65m² (700 sq ft). In Japan 65m² works well; for us, that is more challenging.

Do you have any tips on how to realize the project? winnetou78 or do you sarcastically join the majority? 🙂Do you realize yourself that it’s still far too naive? The only solution is to arrange for more money. Or a bargain house / old farmstead to renovate.

Tip: The kitchen is considered furniture and should be excluded, so it is not included in the overall construction cost.Yes; not included in the construction cost; but it should not be forgotten in the total budget. Also, for some small items like mailboxes, lamps, etc. After all, no one wants to live forever with outdated chandeliers.

winnetou7815 Aug 2017 08:44As I mentioned somewhere before, here in the middle of nowhere it might be barely possible.
House 100 sqm (around 1,076 sq ft) about 135,000 and 15,000 additional costs.
But then without anything: concrete roof tiles, gas heating without underfloor heating, no roller shutters.
No flooring, etc.
So really minimal standard.
Where do you live?
If you were to build the interior walls yourself, maybe.

Where do you live?According to the profile, he is from NRW. And in NRW (even in a small town 100 km (62 miles) from the nearest larger city), you simply can’t cover the additional costs here. Even if you have a relative who owns an excavator.
