On top of that, you have your other items. I think site setup with scaffolding 10,000 more, I would also add 5,000 for excavation. Then interior and exterior plastering 25,000, screed 10,000, windows with sills 30,000, roof including trusses and garage 30,000, plumbing 30,000, electrical 15,000, then you still need exterior paint and insulation and all additional construction costs, as well as painting, flooring, kitchen and furniture...
(Our numbers are roughly similar, building a similar size and also with a double garage)

That seems quite exaggerated, doesn’t it?

Site setup plus scaffolding work (12 weeks) was 3,000 euros for us.
Screed for 140sqm (1506 sqft) was 2,000 euros. Interior and exterior plastering including exterior painting and insulation was 16,500 euros.

These are roughly our current figures, but we are still waiting for further offers from local general contractors.

Something like that, yes. Then, of course, plus or minus depending on the region (north-south gradient)

Thanks!

What are considered "good" square meter prices for masonry houses in 2019, or what prices are currently viewed as reasonable depending on the region?

You are hijacking the original poster’s floor plan discussion here.

I’m just bothered by the traffic from the main road.

If there’s still some budget left, you could also plan for a soundproof wall, fence, planting, or something similar there.

What if we rotated the house 45° clockwise? Then the living rooms would at least get plenty of sunlight.

Do you mean based on your latest sketch from post 54? Forty-five degrees is an awkward angle—you could also call it diagonal. With such a rotation, your house would move even further away from the northern property line, which would make your garden on the south side smaller or shorter. And if you want to build the garage attached parallel to the house, the angled driveway would also cause you to lose space on the north side, which you’ll be missing on the south side.

By the way, I noticed you planned the double garage with the standard setback from the boundary line. I’d waive that in favor of a larger garden on the south side. Also, consider placing only a single garage on the north side to save more space for the south garden.

If the budget allows, you could add a second single garage in the tree-shaded area along the southern boundary, which would also serve as noise protection if both cars need to be kept frost-free during winter.

I’d try to extend the kitchen area all the way to the southern corner (with west-facing windows and close to the entrance), and move the office away from there to the north side instead. Or do you get so many sunny hours in the office that the current location is important to you?

By the way, today I received a rough structural shell offer of 80,000 euros to get a general financial idea. Of course, some things will still need to be added or subtracted, but it’s a good estimate.

Since I work professionally with earthworks: Where and why will the 29 cubic meters of foundation excavation material be stored? Do you need it? Otherwise, I’d advise you to get an offer that includes direct disposal. Is the soil beneath the topsoil stable, or does that also need to be removed? Topsoil and frost protection material are usually priced per square meter; do you know how thick the layer to be excavated and reinstalled is? Try to clarify how deep that needs to be and agree that the price applies up to that depth. You don’t want additional charges later on for bigger volumes...

By now, the architect has started and created several drafts.
We will probably increase the width to 10m (33 feet) as well.
The floor area is now at 150m² (1,615 square feet), which is actually somewhat too large.
Therefore, there was still room for a gallery in the entrance area.
