Hello everyone,
since we have already received many good tips in the forum here, we are now back with a new request for help.
At the beginning, when the idea of building arose, we were considering a prefabricated house. In the end, after a lot of reading and advice here in the forum, we are now building solid, brick by brick, with Poroton, with a local construction company. The architecture is set, the building application has been submitted, and in April our single-family house should start...
In the past weeks, we have been looking a lot at tiles, doors, stairs, kitchen, bathroom.
As far as the kitchen is concerned, we now have a pretty good idea which should also fit into the budget, similar to the wooden-look tiles we want for the rest of the house (except bathrooms).
We are still a bit more uncertain about the bathroom, especially regarding the budget.
We looked at the bathrooms from the bathroom blog here ( ).
In terms of style, bathrooms #73, #75, #93, #159-160, #167 are in our direction (sorry, I couldn’t manage to link directly to these entries).
Our main bathroom is 18 sqm.
Our guest bathroom is 5 sqm.
For the main bathroom we want:
Freestanding bathtub.
Walk-in floor-level shower.
Double washbasin with large base cabinet (2x2 drawers) and large mirror cabinet.
Toilet
For the guest bathroom:
Walk-in floor-level shower.
Single washbasin with small base cabinet and mirror cabinet.
Toilet.
No urinal, no bidet, etc. – we don’t need those.
Whirlpool rather not (if then only a small "whirl function" as part of the tub).
It should look nice though
The floor is to be tiled (we like Gepadi Nexos mentioned in the above thread, for example); the walls should be tiled or designed with Caraston.
Our offer naturally includes certain things, e.g. tiles priced at 45 EUR/sqm as well as the "labor time" for installation.
For all the material (except the tiles) for both bathrooms together, 6000 EUR is budgeted.
That means if we want more expensive tiles, we have to pay extra.
If we need more/expensive material, we have to pay extra.
Question:
Regarding the tiles, we think we will "roughly" manage; even if it costs a few euros more, it won’t kill us.
However, the 6000 EUR for the rest of the equipment makes us nervous.
Can 6000 EUR (purely for equipment) realistically cover what we have in mind or is it completely unrealistic?
If unrealistic: How much extra should we calculate for?
Thanks.
