Hello everyone,

due to current circumstances (just before signing), I’m interested in what upgrades or additional features you included—or had to include—beyond the standard package during your house construction, especially when working with a general contractor (GC), and what the price or price difference was for those?

Thank you very much

The additional items are not upgrades. To me, an upgrade means deviating from the general contractor’s standard and installing something better or more instead.
An extra lockable plank door? Unbelievable.

Electrical: 13,000 euros
Plumbing: 10,000 euros
Staircase: 4,000 euros
Flooring + Interior doors: 4,000 euros
We haven’t decided on tiles yet.

However, we didn’t make any compromises and always chose what we liked best.

That’s why @hampshire can’t really say what was upgraded. You just fill the basket until the financing budget is empty and cover all additional costs with a buffer. That’s how we did it. It’s pure luck that something was left over. But it will be invested in a patio roof, storage space, and extra loan repayments instead of a BMW 3 Series :-p

A lockable toilet door, unbelievable. Erich no longer needs to lock himself in the bathroom to listen to West Radio.

Our most expensive upgrades (and by that I really mean upgrades, not fundamental changes to heating or similar) were the interior doors, costing something between 2000-2500€ (approximately), and the roof insulation at nearly 4000€ (approximately)... for the rest, we made only minor upgrades. In total, I think it was about another 1000€ (approximately).

we didn’t have anything for the interior doors. That’s why I’m asking: what kind of significant upgrades are possible there?
