Cost estimation: prefabricated house, basement, carport, single garage

Hi DubaiVAE,

we are starting construction now in June and are building a prefabricated house in solid construction, even with a company you mentioned. We chose a house model with 109m² and adapted it according to our ideas, the final price is 238,000, just for the house, turnkey with basement and floor coverings + painting work (except basement).

Best regards
Lilik

Hello Lilik,
that could be the Faszination house.
How have you been satisfied so far with the construction supervision and the discussions?

Hello Lilik, that could be the house Faszination.

Yes, correct

How satisfied have you been so far with the construction supervision and the discussions?

So far we are satisfied, but you have to know from the beginning what you want, and if you forget something or change your mind, then extra costs arise that were not included in the financing.
For us, things are progressing really fast, we signed the contract on April 4th and construction starts in mid-June.

We have been living in the house for almost 8 weeks, and since moving in, 3000€ have disappeared into thin air. Here a skirting board, there a screw, a shovel, here a small final invoice, there another bill... it goes so fast. Those who have nothing left right away end up struggling with reminders at the very beginning. We had set aside about 8000€ for the outdoor area... well, that now has to be done more economically because electricity and gas from the construction phase have to be paid. Insurances also want the first annual premium, the chimney sweep his little share, and so on. Keyword lamps... that gets really expensive here, or a few nice pieces of furniture, even if they're just small things from damages, it adds up.

When I read something like that, it makes me feel quite different – fortunately, I play the lottery

Hello Lilik,

that sounds good. Last week we were able to look at a customer house Faszination that is already inhabited.
We really liked the size and the layout very much and we already know how we want the floor plan. Unfortunately, we do not yet know what individual changes cost (changing windows in the upper floor to floor-to-ceiling, turning the entrance and placing it on the narrow side ...).

Conclusion: Somehow we are fascinated by the house Faszination

Hello everyone,

we are currently also building a single-family house in post-and-beam construction including a basement (masonry). In total, spread over 3 floors, it's about 230 sqm, which would cost us around 345,000 euros without own contributions – so about 1,500 euros per sqm. Fortunately, we had an excellent architect who really (hopefully) showed us all additional costs in advance and set them very generously. Essentially, these were (of course, this is always a case-by-case basis!):

1. Earthworks with sufficient gravel and drainage... = 20,000 euros
2. Outdoor facilities = 15,000 euros
3. Garage = 10,000 euros
4. Construction electricity and water = 2,000 euros
5. Connection work (water, electricity, telecom) = 3,000 euros
6. Notary = 1,200 euros
7. Approval procedures = 1,000 euros
8. Possibly structural engineer, surveyor, geometer = 2,000 euros
9. Buffer for these items = 5,000 euros

About the earthworks: For us, it was natural soil and excellent humus! Could not be better, no rocks or similar. But a small water vein and a bit more rolling gravel already add a few thousand euros...

Then come all the extra wishes like additional sockets, lamp outlets, window frames in a different color, stairs in a different type of wood, higher doors, different sanitary installations, etc. I would have ALL of that put in writing in advance (e.g. extra cost per socket, etc.). I would also look at the subcontractors, have the goods shown and negotiate surcharges with them. I think often it is already the case that prices are pressed quite hard with the standard and then a lot of money is made on special requests, also on the part of the subcontractors. And especially when there was no clear offer in advance. So very important: Be clear about additional construction costs and special requests!
