ᐅ Proportion of trades as a percentage of the total construction cost

Hello,
the plan is a new build using solid construction methods.
I already have a turnkey offer from the same building company, as well as an offer that covers "only" the shell construction.
Both offers are based on the same floor plan.
Are there any experiences or benchmarks regarding the cost share of each trade (shell construction, electrical, heating, etc.) in the total construction cost?
Thanks for the information.

The price also includes a concrete stair landing, chimney, a cistern with 3500 liters (925 gallons), structural engineering, and architectural services. The roof is not included. Roofs, oh well
It’s hardly possible to respond seriously and competently regarding what to make of the price quote :-(

Who is coordinating to ensure the roof is installed on time and that cavity wall insulation or similar work between the rafters is done promptly or simultaneously?
What do you understand by the 240 sqm (2,583 sq ft)? Is that living space or the footprint multiplied by three?
If the cistern is included: are all other groundworks (excavation; installation of underground pipes, to which the downspouts will be connected, etc.) also included? Who is coordinating these for you?
For comparison: we received quotes of around 200,000 (± about 5,000) for a building with a footprint of approximately 9.6 x 12 m (31.5 x 39.4 ft), basement/ground floor/upper floor/attic for all earthworks, shell construction including chimney and concrete staircase, including roof truss, garage, and carport. (Whether you can really compare this, I’ll leave up to you.)
The quotes did NOT include structural engineering or architectural services, but with the “extended shell construction” we had the advantage that the main contractor (shell builder) coordinated the earthworks and carpentry trades for us. Separately hiring these three trades might have been somewhat cheaper but would have involved significantly higher risk of mistakes in scheduling and much more time investment for us.
My conclusion:
-> Get one or two more quotes with the same scope of services.
-> Such an extended shell construction including the roof does have its advantages.
