Hello everyone,
however you look at it - this is about estimates. Even if we manage to save 3,000 EUR on the painting work, it will probably be a few thousand EUR more in another area. Considering everything that is included under "painting work," the stated figure is certainly not implausible.
Of course, if it fits with work/time, we will paint our walls ourselves and do some other things on our own (e.g., also a part of the electrical work). But initially, we want to calculate deliberately without any own contributions so that we have a kind of "second buffer." We can always make use of money.
As far as the costs are concerned, I have now realized that it really comes down to the details here. The architecture (protrusions, etc.), the floor, the regional conditions, and much more make the estimate quite rough – you very quickly juggle around 30-40,000 EUR or more.
Specifically, it only works with a concrete plan and the corresponding prioritization of the wishes. We will soon decide on the architect (and not the supposedly "cheapest," but the one who works most professionally/honestly – we already have him in mind...).
We will have to adjust things here and there (budget & requirements), but I am confident that we will manage it.
Thank you very much for the helpful information and tips!
