Hello fellow home builders,
we are currently planning to build a house. It is not yet decided whether it will be a prefabricated house or a solid construction. We will only be able to contribute "cosmetic work" as labor — so it will most likely be a turnkey delivery or one stage before that.
Here are the main facts:
- Building plot 500–750 sqm (currently not owned, estimated cost 75,000 EUR)
- No basement
- Living area 140 sqm (1,507 sqft)
- Double garage (with storage space as basement replacement)
In terms of quality, we expect decent good (average) quality but no luxury features =).
Since we do not have a plot yet, several prefabricated house companies have not provided us with quotes. However, we want to do cost planning first and then buy a plot if the numbers look good, so a cost estimate is urgently needed.
Therefore, we would be interested in your estimates/experiences regarding the following items:
Building plot: 75,000 EUR
House: ?
Garage: ?
Additional construction costs (baunebenkosten): ?
Exterior work/landscaping: ?
Furniture/kitchen: ?
Total costs: ?
What do you think: solid construction or prefabricated house?
How do they differ in price?
Thank you very much for your answers

What BeHaElJa says is correct. Get the catalogs from the suppliers and look up the prices online. That will give you a reference point… and then I would add about 10% rather than 10,000 euros on top of the price. Just for sockets, light switches, network outlets, different doors, underfloor heating, you can easily end up with 15,000 euros or more.
... We currently have an offer of around 250,000 euros for approximately 160 m² (1,722 sq ft) using solid construction with Ytong. However, this is just the basic standard, without additional features such as a chimney, controlled ventilation system, and so on.
Depending on where you are from, the cost could be around 230,000 euros, but without many extras.
