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

Did I miss it, or is there no mention anywhere of how much equity is available?Maybe there is none?S
Stivi83it22 Aug 2019 21:29I’m joining the discussion here.
We also want to build, with a 99,000 Euro (about 109,000 USD) plot of land, and then a Living Haus Sunshine 143 V4 or V5 starting at 100,000 Euro (about 110,000 USD), which is probably just the basic shell. The prices come from Fertighaus.de—I have no idea if they are accurate.
We only have 15,000 Euro (about 16,500 USD) in equity, which we do not want to include in the financing.
The plan is to do as much as possible ourselves. I trained in construction but later switched to mechanical engineering. Currently, our monthly budget is 2,900 Euro (about 3,200 USD), also because of parental leave.
Does anyone know how it works with Living Haus in combination with OBI and the value check?
Please help me see things more clearly.

Mottenhausen23 Aug 2019 10:57The purpose of the OBI voucher is to improve affordability. Instead of having to settle 1,000 individual invoices with the bank (which they probably would not agree to anyway), the OBI voucher is included as a single item in the overall house price and is financed as part of the mortgage. This approach is certainly useful for projects with a lot of self-performed work, but I have also read here in the forum that the calculations made for this often turned out to be insufficient.

Maybe there isn’t any?Saving no equity but spending 5,000€ per year on vacations doesn’t add up if the plan is to build a house...KEVST schrieb:
Not saving any equity but spending €5000 annually on vacations does not add up if the plan is to build a house...So, back to the beginning and read everything again... But look, no equity. Then it really doesn’t fit, and it shows concerned and helpful readers where the priorities and expectations lie. As long as that remains the case, building a house will probably not happen...

Then it really doesn’t work, and this shows concerned and helpful readers where the interests and expectations lie. As long as that remains the case, building will definitely not happen....Yes, I also looked through the thread for any equity and found nothing. But the sales agent will probably sort it out. Not a few people, even though they are cautious, still ended up signing a house construction contract without owning land right after an information session. We’ve seen it all here already.Similar topics
