Hello everyone,
Most of the experienced builders and veterans will probably cringe now... but I still have to ask.
If we consider a simple rectangular single-family house, without any frills, no basement, with standard to slightly comfortable finishes (for example, laminate flooring and external blinds, but standard window sills and basic dimensions, simple tiles, etc.), what price per square meter should one expect?
I am referring to a turnkey delivery, meaning at most you still need to paint and install wooden floors yourself, but the interior finishes, plumbing, electrical work, and tiling are done by professionals.
I have seen figures like 1200, 1300, or even 1500, 1600 per square meter. That can make quite a difference in price.
It’s not yet decided whether the house will be prefabricated or built with solid construction, so if you have different values for either option, please share them 🙂
I understand that none of the prices you give will be final for "my house" specifically. I’m really just looking to get a sense of roughly how much per square meter one might plan for.
I’m deliberately excluding additional building costs here, so I know this is not the final figure and that the amount can change quickly during the selection of materials and fittings—but that’s an individual decision, like whether to choose more expensive doors or not.
But walls, bathrooms, windows, and a roof are obviously necessary for a house like this.
Thanks for your tips and best regards!
Anna

What a wonderful response.
Of course, the decision to have (an additional) child is not made by the house.
But, for example, whether there will be a hobby room and a guest room does depend on it. And whether the children's rooms can be more spacious, and so on.
Nobody said that I will build bigger if I can. But I might have to build smaller than I would like. And knowing that can’t hurt.

You can’t simply divide your budget by a location-specific square meter or cubic meter cost for a certain quality level X and then expect to get the house size you can afford. You won’t be able to target a floor plan choice down to plus or minus 10 sq m (100 sq ft). Instead, it’s more likely that you will have to spend part of your budget exactly because you cannot selectively reduce just a small portion of space or features from a house plan without affecting the overall plan in order to fit the budget.

Calculate with 1800 to 2000 euros per square meter without additional construction costs and without the land.
What 11ant means is that you first need a room program with approximate sizes, and then you have to see if it fits within your budget. Yes, a children's bedroom can be 12 or 20 sqm (130 or 215 sq ft). But 3 children's bedrooms, 1 office, 1 hobby room for the model trains, and 1 walk-in closet with 8 meters (26 feet) of shelving for the handbag collection cannot be squeezed into 130 sqm (1400 sq ft).
Which rooms do you need?
How large should they be?
(Model homes give a good impression for this.)
