Budget for the construction of a single-family house with a WU concrete basement

I believe he can search as much as he wants and also remove trades as he likes. With that budget, a house with 200 sqm + 2.7m ceiling + turret bay + basement + double garage + third bathroom, etc., etc., etc. is simply not feasible. And if a provider can actually do it, then I am 100% sure it will go wrong. A total budget of 275,000 and the above specifications simply don’t match in my opinion. No amount of calculation or negotiation will help. The only way is to drastically lower the requirements. Or wait and keep saving. That’s the only way it will work. 130-140 sqm without a basement but with the double garage I consider realistic. But then without the bay window, without the high ceilings, etc.

Hello Joschka,

The PDF with the floor plan is unfortunately too large, therefore the prose description

Will you send it to me at: Info@schenk-Bauberatung.de?

Single-family house:

[*]Dimensions 9m x 13.5m
[*]200 sqm living space

For me it's max. 202 sqm/LS. The provider probably counted the basement anteroom as well.

Plot with slight slope

[*]Fully basemented with WU concrete (living room height)
[*]Soil survey
[*]Costs for building applications and other permits
[*]Excavation and disposal of topsoil (soil class 4)

With a sloped site, hardly any disposal should be necessary!

[*]Exterior walls Ytong 36.5cm (KfW55 standard)

KfW 55 cannot be achieved *only* through the exterior wall.

[*]Interior walls ground floor with Ytong, upper floor with sand-lime brick

What nonsense. Even if aerated concrete is uncritical in a material mix, then at least consistently also on the ground floor.

We have available for the house with the above-mentioned equipment and services 275,000 EUR plus a buffer of 25,000 EUR. Is that feasible?

That reads like the "who is who" of cheap providers. Never ever ...

Since I am a layman myself and do not have the time to tender and control all trades, I would like to commission a general contractor (including architect services) and additionally hire an inspector paid by me to approve the construction progress. What do you think about that?

Very good idea!

However, I am the bad guy first; unfortunately as so often. For 202 sqm/LS basemented (usable basement) you have to spend at least EUR 308,000; as a KfW 70 efficiency house. And then we are not even talking about including public connections or gimmicks such as a fireplace or a rainwater cistern!

Does anyone here perhaps know professionally good and above all financially strong general contractors in the Rhine-Main area?

Yes, I do. But not at the conditions mentioned above; your ideas cost slightly more.

Rhine greetings

308 k€ including basement?

Thank you Bauexperte for your comments. I just visited your homepage. Unfortunately, you are not active in our region....

For me, it's max. 202 sqm/Living Area. Here, the provider probably included the basement anteroom

I don't think so. Probably the original poster rounded. Googled briefly, it looks to me like an Edition 455 with the key data... 200.62 sqm on ground floor and upper floor (9.02 x 13.52) with turret and other features.

If you search for houses at V..brock over €350,000, this house shows up, of course then the costs for the basement and special equipment + ancillary construction costs are added. So €500,000?
Of course without fireplace, shutters, chimney, underfloor heating, and lighting. (but maybe underfloor heating is included in Kfw55) And without double garage and floor coverings. Those come extra. So somehow double the budget you have available.
If you have the same house built by someone else, it will probably be cheaper... but not half.

@ypg: True, we chose the floor plan ourselves. What do you see as the main cost drivers? I don't want to build the house with Viebrockhaus. We just really like the floor plan and would also build with another competent provider. It's just hard to find one.... You say other providers could build the house with similar features at a lower price. Can you give me a realistic range or point out where it makes sense to save costs? Thanks.
