Hello,
we unexpectedly have the opportunity to purchase a plot of land. Since it comes from family, the price would be a real bargain for us, around 200 euros per square meter (about 19 USD per square yard) (Bavaria - Baden-Württemberg border area).
Unfortunately, the plot is not perfectly shaped; it is 13 m (42.7 ft) wide and 23 m (75.5 ft) long, so roughly 300 square meters (3,229 square feet) in size.
This weekend, we visited a large model home park and checked out various builders.
We were especially impressed by Baufritz, Weberhaus, Schwabenhaus, and Gussek Haus.
I wanted to ask for your experiences with these companies—maybe also regarding costs?
Our budget is about 450,000 euros (around 478,000 USD), minus the land cost leaves us with 390,000 euros (about 414,000 USD) for the house and additional building costs (the plot is already serviced). Our idea for the house is about 130 to 140 square meters (1,400 to 1,507 square feet) of living space, with a footprint approximately 7 m (23 ft) by 12 m (39 ft). We plan to do the landscaping ourselves; a garage is not planned for now, and we also do not want a basement.
I would really appreciate any suggestions!
PS: No, we do not want to buy and renovate an existing property. On the one hand, there are hardly any available here, and on the other hand, it is outrageously expensive when something does appear (recent example: semi-detached house, built in 1969, no (!) renovation measures since construction except for windows replaced in 2012, mold in all rooms, 400 square meters (4,306 square feet) of land, not in a city but in a village, sold by bidding for 380,000 euros (about 404,000 USD)).

That is sufficient for the child construction grant. For the homeowner allowance, the application requirements must already be met at the time of application, meaning: you must be living in the house. And the application must be submitted this year.
At least, that's what the Bayernlabo website says. That's how I (unfortunately) understood it as well.
Would it be worth it for us to move into the shell stage for 10,000 euros?

saralina8720 Jun 2020 09:54The building permit arrived yesterday!
Calling and being polite really pays off.
On Friday, there is the final approval meeting with the general contractor, and then we’ll see how quickly everything can actually proceed. I’m still hopeful about the 10,000 euro!
What’s still worrying me is the lighting design. Does anyone have a tool or tips for a good (and easy-to-understand) way to learn about this?

...so if it’s about the BAFA subsidy for heat pumps, you get 35%. However, this does not apply to the entire heating system. In new constructions, it is mainly limited to the heat pump and the piping up to the underfloor heating. Possibly also the control technology. This is a simplified explanation; there is a lot of information available on this. But without knowing your setup, it’s unlikely that the full 41,000 euros will be subsidized. Maybe about half. But if that’s not crucial, it’s not a big deal. Today the approval arrived – 15,000 euros. Yippee!

Does anyone have a tool or tips on where to find good (and easy-to-understand) information about this?Lately, even the internal forum links are going down :-( but I mentioned a source in post #1001 in the Shiny thread. If you turn www into www in plain text, remove umlauts, and look kindly, the links sometimes work at least. The day will come when this place empties out...
