My wife and I have been in the planning phase with a builder for three months. Today, we received the first cost estimate including additional charges for some extra requests. In particular, I was quite surprised by the extra costs for a different type of masonry and would like to get your opinion on whether this is an exaggerated price or a realistic/typical surcharge.
We plan to build a single-family house with 155 sqm (1,670 sq ft), 1.5 stories with a pitched roof and a knee wall height of 1.25 m (4 ft). The builder’s standard according to the scope of work is aerated concrete (AAC) 36.5 cm (14 in) thick with a thermal conductivity (lambda) of 0.10. Here are the additional costs for other masonry types:
42.5 cm (17 in) aerated concrete with lambda 0.08 → €19,000
42.5 cm (17 in) Poroton T8 masonry → €25,000
42.5 cm (17 in) Poroton T7 masonry → €35,000
Thank you very much for your support
