ᐅ Plastering and painting work in a prefabricated house performed by the construction company or a painter

We are currently building our prefabricated house. The living area in the basement is approximately 50 m² (540 sq ft). The living area in the upper floors is about 200 m² (2,150 sq ft). It is a prefabricated house on a precast concrete basement.

Our home construction company has offered to finish about 900 - 1000 m² (9,700 - 10,800 sq ft) of wall and ceiling surfaces by

- filling and plastering, then wallpapering with textured wallpaper (Rauhfaser) and painting for €22,000 in Q2,

or alternatively

- filling and plastering, then wallpapering with a painter’s fleece and painting for €40,000 in Q3, except for the 50 m² (540 sq ft) basement living area, which would remain finished with the Q2 method and textured wallpaper.

Are these prices reasonable or too high? Would you recommend hiring the home construction company or a professional painting contractor for this work? We are undecided. Has anyone had similar work done?

The building region is Stuttgart.

40,000€ seems very high to me!

Totally overpriced. We just commissioned: Q2 plaster skim and sanding as needed, apply fleece everywhere, paint twice. Approximately 700 m² (7,535 sq ft) of wall and ceiling surface. Quotes ranged from 15,000 to 18,000.

Exactly, that is the standard to aim for. Anything beyond that is luxury.

Get a quote from an independent company. That way, you’ll know who to hire and whether the costs are average.

Thank you all for your feedback; I also felt that this was very expensive. We will remove these tasks from the scope of work and assign them separately.

The first comparative quote (MyHammer) is €17,500 for Q3 with fleece.
