Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

Yes, it was just an example of how one can generally save. I know from many families that the initial furnishings in the house are rather inexpensive because the household budget shortly after the construction has gone through a kind of natural disaster. What is purchased years later is often (significantly) higher quality.

If the kitchen is no longer included in the construction, something is seriously wrong.

The old couch or the bedroom wardrobe is normal, but a kitchen easily lasts 15-20 years.

that is 2200€/sqm turnkey. These are prices from about 10 to 15 years ago... hard for me to understand right now

No, those are prices from the cheap general contractor with a standard floor plan, without much frills...

I did not write that. But then it won't be the luxury equipment, rather basic.

Last year we paid 320,000 euros for 111 sqm of living space. OKAL prefabricated house (Design 9.2) turnkey with floor coverings, tiles, wallpapers, and Q3 plaster in the bathroom chosen by us including 6.8 kWp photovoltaic system with 10 kWh Viessmann storage, Proxon ventilation heating and Schiedel wood stove Kingfire Classico. Upscale equipment throughout the house, otherwise no frills. That makes about 2,900 per square meter. I would be very surprised if something roughly comparable could be had again in the meantime for 2,200 euros/sqm and the general contractor still makes a profit on it...

Who talked about Q3, wallpaper, floors, fireplace, and photovoltaics? If you do it yourself and skip gimmicks like a fireplace and photovoltaics, you can easily stay well below 2,900 EUR/m² even for a bungalow. Anyone who believes they need that and can afford it... that's completely fine. But anyone who can't afford it, thinks they have to have it, and then complains... that's just nonsense.
