Hello, we recently purchased our plot of land and have two years until we need to start construction. Since we own a condominium, we want to take our time with the building process and plan everything carefully. A developer mentioned that it would be wise to start as soon as possible because energy efficiency regulations will become much stricter in 2016. In addition, building material costs are currently rising significantly. What do you think? Is the seller trying to pressure us without reason, or is he right? So far, we haven’t found a suitable floor plan or developer, and we still want to sell our apartment...

First, think carefully about what you really want, then look for a builder and plan accordingly. If the project can be completed within this year, that’s great; if not, it’s not a big problem. The KFW funding is the least reason to stress.

By the way, you should never stress yourself out when building a house.

There has never been a comparable jump before. I also wrote "... will increase the price per square meter of new construction by 25%, in the components of the house construction that determine the primary energy consumption on paper." For the entire house, this should amount to about 7 to 10%, depending on the size of the house.
I will now edit my post to make it clearer; thanks for the feedback!
Regards, Bauexperte

Don’t you think that a 25% price increase is a bit too high? If you look at the developments from Toxi’s link, there haven’t been such large jumps despite ongoing tightening.

The bill of quantities will be adjusted elsewhere so that the offered final turnkey price doesn’t increase significantly.
In the past, turnkey houses included painting and floor coverings.
A large, nationwide home construction company has now removed the waste container and other minor items in order to offer a lower price. In addition, the painting of the roof cladding is considered part of the painting work, so the homeowner is expected to climb the ladder and do it themselves. Elsewhere, this is still included.
If price shifts continue in construction, soon there may not even be tile flooring in the hallway, bathroom, and kitchen. The final price will hardly change, but of course, the overall construction costs for the end customer will be higher since tile installation will be charged separately.
So, there is more insulation, but less finishing for the same amount of money. Homebuyers looking for a house in 2015 or 2016 will hardly notice this.
