Hey everyone, I’m new here.
A quick introduction... I work as a HVAC mechatronics technician at a large company where I’m also involved in new ventilation installations, etc. My fiancée is a special needs caregiver. Currently, we pay 800€ rent without utilities for a 2-room apartment. Including utilities, it’s around 1000€. We manage this comfortably and often go on vacation or afford many extras.
Now, I want to build a prefabricated house. Our total budget is 250,000€. The plot costs about 90,000€, so the house itself can cost 150,000€. We have received many offers from Allkauf Haus, Ling4you, and Massa Haus, but there are so many it’s hard to keep track.
I can do a lot myself. I will handle electrical work, plumbing, and underfloor heating. The basement will be partially finished as well. The Allkauf Haus offer for 157,000€ is currently our top choice.
We could comfortably afford a monthly payment of around 1200€ including utilities. Is that amount too low for a house or is it normal?
I will do drywall, tiles, and flooring myself.
Euromac2 is also very affordable—does anyone have experience with them?
Thanks a lot!!!

Regarding the electrical work, I can only say that with us in the new build, two people were employed for five days. But as I already emphasized, that is the difference between In my case, it’s about a 130 m² (1400 sq ft) one-story house on a slab foundation.
It’s a pity that you have to “extract such information from your nose.” Because how and what you build makes a difference. For example, I have three floors and quite a bit more space. That would align with my statement that the original poster (OP) simply needs to scale down their size and requirements to fit the budget.

I always based my statements on my own project.And who is interested in that in this thread?Exactly no one. This is simply about the fact that you cannot build a house with a basement and KfW55 standard for 150,000 euros.
But you come here, criticize other users, and praise your own project. Yet you don’t provide facts or pictures to objectively assess your house.
PS. At 52 years old, it’s understandable that you get upset with people financing over 30 years—you’re just not that young anymore.
Good night
