Hello everyone, I’m Mustafa from Aalen (BW).

I have been allocated a plot of land by the city. It costs 215€ per square meter (sqm) with an area of 557 sqm (6000 sqft).
I’m considering building a semi-detached house with a friend.
Here is what we have in mind:

Solid construction
About 130-150 sqm (1400-1600 sqft) of living space per person, spread over two floors.
I want a basement, he probably does not.
Either a gable roof or a mono-pitched roof.

Around 64,000€ per person would be due for the land, including notary and taxes.
How much should we expect to spend per person overall? We actually don’t want to spend more than 350,000€ per person in total.
Is this realistic?

I would appreciate some feedback.

Best regards,
Mustafa

A semi-detached house is still a single-family home, so I think you probably mean a “detached” single-family house as the opposite.

A semi-detached house is cheaper in that it saves one side’s setback area on the lot where the two units share a wall. The houses themselves will then cost about the same.

It is possible to combine a shed roof and a gable roof if the zoning plan / building permit allows it. One unit with a basement and one without is also possible, but the one with the basement should be built first (or both built simultaneously). Having no basement is generally only cheaper if the lot is almost flat.

“Buddy” is a good keyword here, because when building semi-detached houses, even if you want different floor plans, I recommend having a shared architect or planner.

Thank you for your reply. Yes, we will use a joint planner. However, I am really wondering if my budget of 350,000€ will be enough.

Does the zoning plan even allow construction of a duplex?

... and would a reasonable semi-detached house fit on the plot based on the floor plan? Not that it is only 16 meters (52 feet) wide...

If you are allowed to build a semi-detached house on the plot, it should be possible to construct a small house with your own labor.
