ᐅ Looking for affordable and reliable prefab home builders (lower budget).

Hello everyone,
We (from the beautiful and expensive Baden-Württemberg region) would like to realize our dream of owning our own home. We are planning a small single-family house with 2 children's rooms.
Now we are looking for the "affordable/good and common" prefabricated house suppliers.
Based on a suitable cost calculation, we have a budget of about 300,000 to 320,000 euros.
This includes the plot and all other costs, such as notary fees, utility connections, land transfer taxes, outdoor landscaping, concrete slab (if necessary), etc. (in other words, everything from site fencing to missing toilet brushes)—all costs included.
Since we are at the borderline of “almost impossible,” we are aware of the challenge.
Now it is our task to see whether the “almost impossible is actually possible.”
Roughly speaking, we can say: a plot without a slope (400 m² (4306 sq ft)) can be purchased here for around 100,000 euros.
--> This means a remaining budget of 200,000 to 220,000 euros for the house (including everything).
Who can simply name the “common prefabricated house suppliers” for us?
Danwood, Massa Haus, Town & Country, Heinz von Heiden, … what else is there that might fit into “our” price range?
Many thanks in advance, I’m curious to see if our wish is achievable or if we will have to look more towards resale properties.
Best regards,
Dominik

Try Town & Country, for example the "Raumwunder 100" house type. It should be feasible as a standard build for around €180,000 (about $190,000). I would like to add a note for the original poster: It might be possible to build a house to a standard specification for €180,000 (about $190,000). However, additional costs still apply, such as external landscaping, often the foundation slab and earthworks (which can be major cost drivers), possibly a carport or garage, flooring and painting work, and of course the kitchen and furniture. Unfortunately, all of this cannot be covered for €20,000 to €40,000 (about $21,000 to $42,000), because the budget would be exhausted by then — assuming you even find a plot of land for €100,000 (about $105,000) including purchase-related fees, which is not guaranteed.
For a detached single-family house, that probably won’t be enough, but for a terraced house it might be.
Because 400 m² (4306 sq ft) of land really isn’t that much, and if you go for a terraced house instead, you simply lose one side to access. So what! Take an open-minded look at projects in your area—for example, the Deutsche Reihenhaus has several developments in Baden-Württemberg. Depending on the location, the budget should be enough for a nice 130 m² (1400 sq ft) instead of struggling endlessly to squeeze in an unattractive 100 m² (1076 sq ft). This way, the process should also be less stressful and more predictable.

I would suggest looking into garden sheds or log cabins. You can get a lot for your budget there. Party tents are even somewhat cheaper, but they would likely also fail to meet the energy efficiency regulations...
