Hello everyone,
after reading along in this forum for a while, I now have a few questions.
My wife and I have reserved a semi-detached house with the developer in the northern Ruhr area/southern Münsterland (solid construction, 152 m² living space, 2 full floors + converted attic, 314 m² plot).
For the floor coverings, only tiles (up to €35/m²) are included in the bathrooms.
The walls will be delivered with Q2 plaster (according to the developer actually Q3 quality, but that doesn't really mean anything...). For the concrete filigree ceilings, only the joints will be filled.
The outdoor facilities are mostly not included.
According to the construction description included:
Creation of the rough grade with soil present on the property
In case of height differences between the building connection and the parcel boundaries, "cut slopes will be executed according to technical requirements"
House access and car parking space at the property boundary as gravel surface without edge borders
Concrete block step as house entrance platform
According to the construction description explicitly not included:
"Creation of the garden including the delivery and addition of extra topsoil including edging at the building body, the terrace as well as all paving work"
For the financing, I now have to calculate (estimate?) more or less informed how much budget these three items (floor coverings, painting work, outdoor facilities) will require.
The work would start from the beginning of 2023.
Because our second child will be born in autumn, we would like to calculate the costs so that we would not have to do any of this ourselves.
What we would like (estimated costs):
Floor coverings for approx. 140 m² (€10,000):
Mid-priced laminate or vinyl in all living rooms
Painting (€10,000-15,000):
Ground floor: painter’s fleece and painting with silicate paint
Upper floor and converted attic: textured wallpaper and painting with silicate paint
Outdoor facilities (€30,000 - 40,000):
Paved driveway or grass pavers
Terrace
Edgings
Retaining slope? (I have a site appointment with the developer next week to clarify this point)
Lawn
Carport (not immediately necessary)
Garden/storage shed (not immediately necessary)
Have I overlooked anything essential in these three areas and are the estimates roughly correct?
I look forward to your assessments.
