Take Yvonne’s list from the post where I removed your discussion; Yvonne also lives in NI. (Don’t be mad, but this thread is supposed to collect the incidental building costs of users, preferably from all over Germany; discussions tend to divert the focus )
No problem, thanks for moving it - after all it was my mistake ops:
Incidental building costs generally only include only the costs that are directly related to the house construction. A kitchen is not included, nor any other furniture.
I am aware of the correct terminology, but essentially I wanted to have all "variable" costs on the radar that are not covered by the general contractor. I cannot and do not want to afford a "mistake" of 20k€.
The "land charge registration" is missing, which quickly amounts to 1000€+
Hi , thanks for your reply as well. I always thought that the land charge registration was included in the 2% flat rate for notary and land registry. So thank you for the note, I have added it.
Construction water and construction power are estimated quite high. For us, construction water was already included in the water connection without a meter. Construction power depends on how the building is dried. With a gas heating system, construction power is rather negligible (for us it amounted to 30€, the meter connection costs were significantly higher, which made me complain to the utility company ^^ ).
Hmm... I have inquired about the specific costs for connecting electricity and gas and have had the price confirmed. The water company, on the other hand, said flatly "hire a technician, we only connect up to the property boundary". But no one has yet told me what to calculate for both installation and consumption for construction power and water. Although I can understand consumption.
By the way, it will be a gas heating system, so no electricity is necessary for drying.
9,000€ earthworks: either it will be cheaper or significantly more expensive, most people do the soil report and this is usually where the reserve is wasted.
The soil report will be carried out after signing the notary contract and receiving permission. However, it is simply flat land (height difference of a few centimeters over 20m) with sandy soil – this we could take from the city’s soil report. Unfortunately, only one borehole on our property.
A general reserve of 5,000€ is a bit low. What do you intend to achieve with that?
It was intended for upgrades.
What about the outdoor facilities? Carport 10,000€ (6x9 meters including shed) / driveway + terrace 100€/m² as a flat rate
They are planned and priced at just under 40k€. However, these will be financed bit by bit over the next 4 years by our bonuses.
PS: The KfW expert is missing if you are building with KfW. It costs about 1,000€
Thanks for the hint, it has been added.
