Hello,
A brief overview of our situation (for those who don’t know from the other threads):
We already own the plot of land. It is not located in a new development area.
The road adjacent to the property is expected to be built in 2020. I will probably be able to find out the road construction costs from the local authorities in March.
We are planning to build a house on the plot. A zoning plan is in place.
Currently, we are still roughly estimating the costs.
These consist of:
Proportionate costs for the road (to be provided by the local authorities)
House construction costs (I can estimate these with home builders/architects)
Connection costs for water/sewage/electricity/telephone
Where exactly can I obtain information about the costs for the last part?
Is it already possible to find out these costs even though the plot is not yet connected to a road?
The plot in question is the one highlighted and circled in purple.
The yellow road to the north of it does not exist yet but is planned for 2020, as mentioned. The red house within the purple circle does not exist yet either; it was only marked in the zoning plan.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Specki

The road has been planned since around 2002, but it couldn’t be implemented because the city was missing a plot of land. They now have this land, and the road is expected to be built later this year.
Apparently, the road construction costs will be shared among all property owners in the area. How much that will be wasn’t known last year but should be announced starting in March.
A statement from two years ago estimated costs of around 24,000 (currency) for this kind of project.
I’m aware there will be additional expenses, and for now, I have estimated about 25,000 (currency). I expect to have more information in March and will also ask directly about the water and sewage connections then.

What exactly is included in the proportional costs for the road? Does the municipality also cover the water connection?
We had to connect our house ourselves and spent 12,000 for the water supply, although this depends on the length of the line. Wastewater was about 4,000 more for the sewer connection plus infiltration. Electricity and telephone were almost a bargain in comparison. The remaining question is what the city charges for the road.
Our general contractor took care of most of this on our land, which made it overall more affordable.

I can only inquire about it starting around March (though I will probably check in already by mid-February ^^)

The unpredictable costs mostly relate to the coordination factor. The less digging you need to do, the cheaper it will be. We managed to schedule 3 out of 4 utility providers within a 5-day period. This meant the road was only opened once at our expense; we also hired the civil engineer ourselves, who handled the wastewater connection as well and was familiar with the electrician and the water specialist. An advantage of country living...
Only the telecom provider was (apparently even for themselves) uncoordinatable, but that didn’t matter since they have a fixed price.
With €15,000 you should be well within budget for a new development area, as long as you don’t have an extortionate utility provider involved.
