Hello,

Yesterday we had the selection appointment for our prefab house and chose a color (it had to be from the Caparol A1 color chart, for some reason). Today we were told the additional cost for this: more than 4,000€.

That really surprised us because we always thought that whether it’s white or color shouldn’t matter much, so where does the extra cost come from? Of course, that’s a bit naive and maybe simplistic, but we really didn’t expect over 4,000€.

Could you share your experiences? I’d be interested to know how much extra color options cost compared to white for you...

Best regards

Don’t get discouraged. Building a house doesn’t mean freedom, but rather making compromises with the real conditions of the plot, the building permit / planning permission, and the budget. Unlike buying an existing house, you just don’t know these compromises in advance, or at least not which compromises will be necessary 😉

Unfortunately, this is the harsh truth: even if you think you have carefully considered and calculated everything beforehand and during the process, there will come a day when you are proven otherwise...
