The "story" – house construction is still ongoing; the plasterer was here this week. We could have built for 1350 €/m² (only the house), but it would have been completely standard, though at least KfW 70. By now, we're at about 1650 €/m² with some extras that were not planned at the beginning. As the saying goes, "Appetite comes with eating." And the house has become slightly smaller at around 180 m² (1,940 sq ft).

It's a pity that this wasn't mentioned by you after the intense discussion about the house price here (at that time). As is often the case, the price per square meter had to be adjusted upwards.

This would probably have helped other users who, based on the content of such threads, believe that a good level of finish is possible at 1300 per m².

Yes, you’re right, I should have gotten in touch, but you probably understand yourself that when building a house, there are many other things to take care of, and it just slipped through the cracks.

Well, that makes around €300,000 (about $325,000) so far. Who would have thought?

I wrote that it would be possible to build for €1350, even according to KfW 70 standards. The price only increased because of additional features that are not absolutely necessary but still desired, not because of the construction method.
The masonry garage with 2 Hörmann doors and one gate costs about €17,000.
