Hello dear experts,
We are planning to start building with an architectural firm around April. The trades will be tendered and contracted separately. However, since I have already done some research and obtained quotes myself, I am now a bit confused.
According to the cost calculation from the architect, all windows including roller shutters (12 floor-to-ceiling, 4 regular) and the front door including delivery and installation should cost just under 38k.
Here is an excerpt:
Window door elements as planned, delivered and installed according to RAL standards*
Base material: plastic.
CE marked, wind load resistance: Class C4, air permeability: 4,
Thermal transmittance coefficient: max. 0.98 W/m²K,
Watertightness against driving rain: E900, version: basic security,
Interior color: white, exterior color: white, glass: 4-14-4-14-4,
Ug max. 0.6 W/m²K, g-value 51%, sound insulation Rw 32 dB,
Light transmittance 72%, tilt-and-turn,
Including misuse lock, window handle Mawex white, glazing bead style: standard,
Spacer bar: TGI, white, left glazing bead: 6.5 mm (0.26 inches), right glazing bead: 6.5 mm (0.26 inches),
Frame drainage: forward* Exte Expert XT roller shutter box,
Box height: 220 mm (8.7 inches), inspection flap: bottom,
Shutter type: plastic, shutter color: white,
Drive F1: motor, cable length: 3000 mm (9.8 feet), RF
Guide rail: plaster rail inside: aluminum angle,
Extension with XPS insulation up to raw masonry.
Plaster rail outside: aluminum angle, extension with XPS up to raw masonry.
Oximo RTS radio motor* External window sills:
Padang white, 200 mm (7.9 inches) projection, polished,
Including rainwater grooves bottom longitudinal and top crosswise 2x,
Including EPDM foil / sealing for parapet or base profile*
Window elements as planned, delivered and installed according to RAL standards*

CE marked, wind load resistance: Class C4, air permeability: 4,
Thermal transmittance coefficient: max. 0.98 W/m²K,

Including rainwater grooves bottom longitudinal and top crosswise 2x,
Including EPDM foil / sealing for parapet or base profile* Internal window sills:
Jura marble 250 mm (10 inches)*
Now I have obtained 2 offers that are very close in price, around 23k including front door and installation. Which of course I don’t complain about. These even have RC1 security rating, are lockable, anthracite on the outside, and the roller shutters are made of aluminum.
Here is an excerpt from one of the quotes:
Item 1: PVC WINDOW 2 LEAF TILT/SLIDE
Outer dimensions: 1370 x 2125 mm (54 x 84 inches)
Quantity Price Value
10 x =
630.67

473.00 4730.00
Technology: REHAU - SYNEGO®
Color: INSIDE: WHITE, outside: ANTHRACITE
Glass: U0.6S 4-16-4-14-4 WARM EDGE
Seal: BLACK
Frame: 72.MD (2.3)
Sash: Z59
Fittings: WINKHAUS ACTIV RC1
Window sill connection: +30 mm (1.2 inches)
Window handle: LOCKABLE
Window handle color: WHITE
Hinge color: WHITE
Locking system: RC1N configuration
Item 2: ROLLER SHUTTER BOX FOR ITEM 1
Outer dimensions: 1370 x 2345 mm (54 x 92 inches)
Quantity Price Value
10 x =

332.13 3321.30

BOX PVC WHITE
BOX HEIGHT: 220 MM (8.7 inches)
BOX PREPARED FOR PLASTER WORK
GUIDES: ANTHRACITE
ROLLER SHUTTER CURTAIN: Aluminum PA39 ANTHRACITE
ELECTRIC DRIVE PORTOS WITHOUT
PRESSURE SWITCH
I have not yet talked to the architect, but a price difference of 15k just for the windows is quite significant—in a positive way.
Was it similar for you?

Putting aside the somewhat unusual approach, I would say the quotes are relatively affordable, while the cost estimate is quite conservative. Usually, there will be another item where the architect has underestimated the costs. In the end, the total amount has to be right. Or some prices won’t be exactly as expected, and you end up somewhere in between. Meeting deadlines is also very important. You don’t want the window installer saying they’re fully booked for 9 months.
