ᐅ Prefabricated House Cost Estimate

Hello!
I am planning to build a comfortable prefabricated house, not solid construction and without a basement!

I already have a plot of land and want to have a house built on it, in a rural area, and turnkey!
The total living area should be between 120 m² - 130 m² (about 1290 - 1400 sq ft).
I will take care of painting and installing the flooring myself, except for the bathroom tiles.
Please include items like roller shutters in the cost estimate.
It should have a gable roof and be 1.5 stories high.

The building site is in the second row, so all utility connections are already available at the front house on the property!

For now, I am primarily interested in a cost estimate for a basic standard (I am not looking for luxury but reasonably comfortable), then I can consider extras.

What I would like and would really appreciate is a cost estimate for the house and additionally the ancillary costs. (I have already researched ancillary costs quite thoroughly, but since many connections are already on the property, the extension to my house would only be about 5-10 meters (16-33 feet)).

Greetings from Rhineland-Palatinate

Well, first you need to see where the actual expertise of the construction companies lies. I hope that the 2-meter (6.5-foot) high wall won’t be an obstacle for a 30-meter (98-foot) tall crane. Either way, the walls have to be transported by air to their destination. Does anyone here have experience with a similar situation?


Typically, prefab house manufacturers use a truck-mounted crane. They only need the crane for about 4 days before it’s removed. This way, you can save yourself the crane connection fee on the temporary power supply.

I assumed it would be common to use a regular crane.. I guess this needs to be clarified with the company.

Our construction company rented a huge crane, and they only needed it for one day. It was enormous and could have reached a significant height, but that wasn’t necessary since we were the first in our neighborhood.

And how did the giant crane impact the budget? What is the difference between a truck-mounted crane and a tower crane?

No idea, it was not listed separately in the costs. It would have only caused additional costs if the ground had not been stable. Unfortunately, I don't know what the difference is.

Here is a picture to give you an idea.
