ᐅ Prices excessively high for ventilation system and electric aluminum roller shutters (roller blinds).

Hello, we have received what we consider a quite good house construction offer from a developer for a single-family home with 161m² (1,733 sq ft) of living space. However, we are puzzled by three items that seem completely overpriced to us:
- Installation of a central comfort ventilation system in the utility room, brand: Zehnder “ComfoAIR Q350 TR,” with highly efficient heat recovery for €17,300
- Cladding of the main building up to the eaves height, with the gable of the pitched roof remaining plastered, for €19,900 (would brick slips be cheaper to apply afterward?)
- Installation of a lifting/sliding door (brand: Rehau 80 Synego or equivalent, 5-chamber system with steel reinforcement) instead of the standard patio door element, approximately 2.76 x 2.32m (9.1 x 7.6 ft), for €4,120
- Installation of a total of 19 aluminum roller shutters (three of which are wider in the living-dining area) with electric roller shutter motors, color freely selectable, for a total of €23,190
Do you see any potential to save here? Is it possible to contract the above work separately? What have you paid for similar items?
Thank you and best regards

I think he probably means electric for short distances and combustion engine for long ones.Yes, but obviously in the same car. Nuclear and coal power aren’t “clean” just because you can’t measure any emissions from the car’s exhaust. However, driving the car from the street into the garage (in my case half a kilometer (0.3 miles)) without starting the combustion engine, using only the braking energy stored from earlier, is a real improvement.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

Okay, it’s going well. Currently, there are four photovoltaic systems with a total capacity of 34kWp, and soon an additional 30kWp will be added at the office. All contracts are exclusively with Green Planet Energy (purely renewable). Unfortunately, the Tesla Superchargers use a mixed energy supply. But the above-mentioned setup is not possible for everyone, and I don’t want to hijack the thread further. Sorry for going off-topic.

I have roller shutters and venetian blinds. Back then it was due to cost. Venetian blinds were about 50% more expensive than roller shutters.

Of course, you can also mix them, as I recommend with PVC/aluminum building components. But what I mainly meant is using roller shutters and venetian blinds one after the other. Naturally, only in selected areas, unless you’re Rockefeller.
