Hello,
I have a few questions that mostly relate to heating.
Here is the situation: I inherited part of a house and recently bought the remaining part. Since I recently separated from my partner and currently live with relatives, I’m considering renovating the house and then moving in.
The house was built in 1950 and extended in 2000.
A lot needs to be done: new electrical wiring, new water pipes, new heating system (the oil burner dates from 1990), so it’s a complete renovation!
Right now, I am focusing on the heating system.
The living area is about 130sqm (1400 sq ft).
The entire living space will have underfloor heating. For that, I plan to remove the old screed along with the tiles. Afterward, the underfloor heating will be installed, and granite tiles will be used as the surface. I already have these in my current apartment and don’t want anything else.
Additionally, the very old burner in the basement will be replaced with a new one.
The basement and ground floor belong to me; on the first floor my aunt lives (this apartment also belongs to me). However, her apartment will not be renovated yet, but it is also connected to the burner.
Now my question: roughly how much should I budget for the following, including labor?
About 130sqm (1400 sq ft) of White Pearl granite tiles
About 130sqm (1400 sq ft) of underfloor heating
About 130sqm (1400 sq ft) of liquid screed
A new burner
New heating and water pipes
I will do the demolition myself; I have the tools, but I cannot install the system on my own.
Overall, I have a budget of about 125,000 Euros for the renovation.
It must also be considered that a completely new electrical system will be installed since the old one is a patchwork, and since I am renovating, I want everything done properly.
Best regards
PS:
By the way, I am not interested in subsidies or funding—I simply don’t want to do anything I don’t want to just for the sake of “funding.”
The only thing I’m considering is a photovoltaic system for self-consumption.

Peanuts748 Jun 2016 12:47If you mean the façade, it obviously depends on the thickness of the insulation. I think for a thickness of about 10-20 cm (4-8 inches), you can assume roughly 1 € per cm of thickness.
Plastering costs around 15-20 € per square meter (plus scaffolding, removal of old plaster, etc.) as far as I know (all without guarantee).

Schwabe878 Jun 2016 13:57Thank you @Peanuts74 for your reply. That is still within a reasonable range.
I will definitely make a note of that.
To return to the topic of the architect:
This is certainly not a small renovation. Do you think it would be wise to look for additional support here? Would this be a case for an architect or rather an interior architect (interior designer)?
Good luck

Peanuts748 Jun 2016 14:14I just saw on Bausep that 10cm (4 inches) costs about €8 per m² (square meter) plus adhesive, so that seems about right. For plaster, it probably also depends on the type and complexity, for example, if there are many windows, etc.
You can calculate the area, and then you’ll likely find an average price per m² online.
