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,
LuxSchuss

According to the profile, he is from NRW. And in NRW (even in a small town 100 km (62 miles) away from the next bigger city, you definitely can’t cover the additional costs here). Even if you have a relative who owns an excavator.

What do you personally include in that?

In #17 the original poster repeatedly writes _excluding_ additional building costs!

However, #17 is not the original poster but Farilo.

And the original poster personally says the following:

The €150,000 are supposed to cover the house alone. Additional building costs were not planned, but now I realize how unrealistic the whole project is

If the additional building costs were not planned for, they in my opinion have to come out of the mentioned budget.

it can only be a shell construction

And that again does not match the thread title:
How many sqm are possible for KFW40 Plus , turnkey & €150,000 budget?

But even if the additional building costs are not part of the €150,000, one really has to stretch a lot to manage a house with 4 rooms plus a utility room within €150,000 (including interior finishing and kitchen).

I also think that NRW could become scarce.

- Portable toilet on site
- Temporary power and water supply
- Ground and foundation work
- Building permit / planning permission
- Soil survey
- Land surveying
- Possibly a structural engineer
- Connection fees for utilities including construction cost contributions, such as water, electricity, gas, sewage, telephone
- Possibly rainwater management / infiltration systems
- Insurance
- Professional construction supervision

Everything else, for example preventing having to carry materials into the house by pallet, I consider part of the outdoor landscaping.

Regarding the architect, I assume a simplified report is included; in other words, this is covered in the house price.

So without a construction supervisor, 15,000 is enough for me.

But with rainwater drainage and utility trench work done as self-performed tasks.
