Hello.
I am considering a plot of land and have the following questions:
1. A multi-family house is planned to be built. Are there any regulations regarding how the individual residential units must be arranged within the building? I want to build something like a townhouse with an additional unit above (so three units in total; just not stacked directly on top of each other).
2. There are trees on the property, unfortunately in the area where parking spaces could be located. I see hardly any other options. Is it possible to obtain tree removal permits (the trees are protected by a tree protection ordinance)?
3. On the development plan, there is a feature marked that I cannot identify. It is an irregular "path" with a checkered pattern, see attached.
Thank you very much for your help.

The calculator doesn’t match the gross floor area, probably because it includes the basement, but you’re not building a basement. When you enter your net floor area of 450m² (4850 sq ft) and high-end standard, the cost suddenly comes out to €720,000. For KfW 70 and standard fittings, it’s still €583,000.

Reiner_197818 Aug 2014 08:36Hello Dirk.
I am entering the following data:
450 sqm (4844 sq ft)
Standard (developer)
KfW 70
Multi-family house
15% additional construction costs
The calculator then shows €510,300.00.
And as you correctly said, I am building without a basement.
On the 1st floor there are hardly any walls; the same applies to the 3rd floor.
With the following data:
450 sqm (4844 sq ft)
Standard (developer)
Energy Saving Ordinance
Multi-family house
only €420,000 comes out.
Of course, additional construction costs are added as well.
However, we are discussing my individual case.
And I have to say, fortunately I have contacts (architect, all types of construction companies) who help me or accommodate me.
I accommodate them. They accommodate me.
In the end, it still has to be financially viable. The calculators show me that it is possible.

... only 420,000 euros will come out of it. Of course, additional construction-related costs will apply.

And I have to say, luckily I have contacts (architect, all kinds of construction companies) who help me or make concessions. I make concessions to them. They make concessions to me.

It will be just as interesting as any other construction project. 😉

The gross floor area is roughly 540 sqm (15m * 12m * 3m).
Every project will be interesting in its own way... 😉
I’m looking forward to making it happen despite your doubts. 😎
Best regards

buddy20148 Sep 2014 17:07I am also interested in the question of architect fees.
I am building in the Hamburg area and am still undecided whether to work with a general contractor or an architect with individual contracts for the trades. Since the architect I trust lives in my hometown and the construction site is about 100 km (62 miles) away, this might be somewhat challenging.
The general contractor told me to expect a price of about €1600 per square meter (approximately $180 per square foot) for high-end finishes.
I want to build a Tuscan-style house, meaning 4 straight walls without dormers, possibly one bay window, with one apartment on the ground floor and one on the first floor, about 300 square meters (approximately 3,230 square feet), plus a partial basement.
This means that without the basement, I would already be looking at around €480,000 (about $530,000), plus additional costs.
That would exceed my budget.
Are these figures realistic, or would building with an architect be more affordable?
