Hello,
we are currently planning our budget for a single-family house. Here are roughly the key data that it should have:
- Region Berlin/Brandenburg
- 160 m² (or possibly less with an optimal floor plan)
- 1.5 to 2 floors (depending on what the respective development plan allows)
- preferably (flat) gable roof, because it is the most cost-effective
- KFW 40 plus, because due to the climate crisis we think it is right that the house is as energy-efficient as possible, then with air-to-air heat pump + photovoltaic
- living + dining area, 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms (we are currently planning for 3 children, well)
- we are okay with a rather minimalist style, so bay windows, recesses, corner windows, smart home and other things we want to save on
- however, large window surfaces are welcome
- basement, insulated, so it can be used flexibly later (we are about 75% sure that we want this)
- ideally wooden terrace, double carport, if still possible
- we would like to go to an architect so that we get a design that fits us, without sales pressure and advisor talk and without things we don't need
- solid or wood and/or prefab etc. we don’t care at the moment
Here is our rough calculation, assuming that a plot is cleared and ready to build:
Our budget limit for everything (plot/real estate agent left out here for simplicity) is about €470,000. KFW subsidy would get us to about €500,000. We have included a buffer. Unfortunately, you can read a lot online about prices, starting from the foundation slab, turnkey, then experience reports... prefab houses of this size are "from" €250,000 and they even have bay windows and other stuff included... there should be some leeway. Sometimes someone offers the complete house with everything for €350,000, sometimes someone is already at €450,000 and doesn't even have additional costs included. In short: the more we read, the more uncertain we become.
Is the above calculation realistic with our wishes? Do we have to calculate something differently? Should an architect be able to manage that?

Here is our rough calculation, assuming that a plot is cleared and ready to build:
House (construction, technology) | 360,000.00 € |
Basement | 30,000 € |
Outdoor facilities | 21,500 € |
Equipment (kitchen etc.) | 20,000 € |
Additional construction costs: | |
Architect | 32,000 € |
Expert reports etc. | 3,500 € |
General additional costs (electricity/water connection) | 3,000 € |
Miscellaneous and reserve | 30,000 € |
= 500,000 € |
