Hello,
I want to start building this year. However, I can’t find any website that compares the costs of different types of structural work. But isn’t this actually a fundamental aspect?
Of course, I am aware that certain construction methods lead to higher follow-up costs (such as greater insulation effort, more work for the electrician, etc.) than others. Therefore, a general statement is probably hardly possible.
Nevertheless, I am considering having a solid prefabricated house built (walls made of Liapor, cast in place). The question now is simply: how much more expensive or cheaper is this method compared to conventional masonry construction with Liapor, brick, or Ytong block? How does it compare to a prefabricated house? Which is more cost-effective?
Perhaps someone knows of a website that compares these construction methods. Unfortunately, I haven’t found one yet.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I asked because you act as if you know everything.
If a professional tells you that additional costs are around 30,000, you can trust that. These are experience-based figures! Whether the final amount is 25,000 or 35,000 depends on local conditions and your individual requirements.
For example, if your house is 40m (130 feet) away from the nearest sewer, power connection, or something similar, the costs will be significantly higher than the average, which is probably around 10m (33 feet).
Another example: building on a slope. The house itself might cost about the same whether it is on flat ground or a slope, but additional costs will be higher.
Since no one knows your exact wishes, only rough estimates are possible, and 30,000 in additional costs is a credible general figure without detailing every single expense.
You should educate yourself first before spreading your ignorance here!I would like to learn by asking precise questions. I do not have time to fully study the whole topic. Why do you think I turned to a forum? To discuss specific topics directly and without detours.
I officially apologize for my lack of knowledge and thank you for your explanation.

I don’t find any .... but plenty of statements that are barely tolerable; for a beginner, a strange way to behave.
Kind regards

That’s what happened to my neighbor, who really got burned. Also clueless and trusting others. Now there's a financing gap.
But go ahead and do whatever you think is right and remain resistant to advice.
Sorry Renia, but we were already talking about additional construction costs, so I referred to that!
Well, I’d say you can have the house designed by an architect and then have it built by one company or several different ones. These can be more expensive or cheaper, which is understandable based on the architect’s experience and usual estimates.

Hi,
sorry, but your statement/question
was a bit unclear. From your discussion with "Interessent," it came across to me as if exceeding construction costs by 30% is the norm. Maybe you should have explained that a cost overrun of up to 30% compared to the initial cost estimate is permissible. It is not the norm and actually happens very rarely. Anyone doing their job diligently shouldn’t miscalculate like that.
The architect should be careful not to misjudge to such an extent, otherwise they will quickly be out of the picture...
Regards
