ᐅ Adding an Extra Floor: What Does It Cost?

Hello, I am considering possibly building a bungalow with a flat roof, a floor area of 80 sqm (860 sq ft), with one story (timber frame construction due to structural reasons that don’t allow a solid construction) and adding a classic pitched roof on top.

What would this roughly cost???

Is it true that timber frame construction is cheaper than building a knee wall with masonry? I am thinking of a self-contained apartment with 3.5 rooms and a balcony.
Does anyone have any idea???

Could you get by with around 100,000 including upgrades like expanding the stairwell, utility connections, etc., with mid-range finishes???

Best regards,
Mia,
possibly a future homeowner…

@Bauline:
Thank you for your response. Your clear and easy-to-understand explanations have really helped me a lot.

@5 Falsche:
Thank you for clearly showing, as a moderator and supposed building expert in this forum, with your sarcasm how welcome beginners are here and how patient people are treated. I already noticed this yesterday when it came to my supposed "compacting."
I will recommend you without reservation.
