Hello everyone,
As we are gradually finishing our building project, an acquaintance of mine also wants to build and has presented a much lower cost estimate. This made me wonder how that price can be achieved.
The facts are:
140 m² (1,507 sq ft) city villa, brick facade, partial basement (toilet, party cellar, technical room), KfW55 energy standard, centralized controlled ventilation system, triple glazing, RC2N windows, painting, tiles and flooring included, underfloor heating, no owner-provided labor, including additional construction costs such as construction electricity and water.
287,000 EUR
How is this price achievable?
For comparison, we built a 160 m² (1,722 sq ft) Frisian-style house, KfW70 standard, centralized controlled ventilation system, underfloor heating, brick facade, RC2N windows, triple glazing, without construction electricity and water, without flooring, painting, and interior doors, and had a cost estimate of 247,000 EUR. Additional expenses such as upgradings pushed the price up by a few thousand, but I’m sure you know how that goes.
Thanks and best regards

140 m² (1,507 ft²) city villa, brick façade, partial basement (toilet, party room, technical room), KfW55,KfW55 compared to KfW70 already makes a difference, and a partial basement often only adds a marginal price difference compared to a full basement. For bricks, there is a difference between solid bricks and brick slips, and for windows, for example, aluminum versus uPVC. Sanitary ceramics and electrical installations can also significantly affect the overall cost.

Hello,
the cost estimate from our initial meeting with the house manufacturer turned out to be completely unrealistic. (prefabricated house) Approximately 12,000 euros were initially budgeted for preparing the foundation slab, but by now the costs have risen to 24,000 euros (final cost unknown). It is not a difficult plot—just a flat meadow in the countryside with good transport connections.
Costs that were not mentioned include the structural engineering review (2,000 euros), construction of a crane pad (1,000 euros), and road closures (1,000 euros).
