Cost of house construction 2022 Single-family house turnkey

A bit off-topic...
Could you reveal what the floor-to-ceiling windows + shading will look like? Are you planning to use external boxes for the raffstores? Or have you found another solution?
Why do I ask? We also planned to install windows up to the ceiling (270cm). However, the window manufacturer said that in this case it would only be possible with surface-mounted boxes...

Of course, it is possible to install floor-to-ceiling windows without a visible lintel. The inspection box is then inside directly at the height of the concrete ceiling.
However, it is more complex. That requires a lot of steel. My 3.2m wide raffstores have 42cm thick reinforced concrete baskets as lintels. A structural engineer will calculate the necessary measures for you.
With a wooden beam ceiling, of course, that becomes difficult. So it depends again on the individual project.

Because I was asked about 'DIY', no, I did not create the structural calculations myself, but had them calculated. However, that is actually required by law in Germany.

Regarding the windows, I chose Schüco profiles, qualitatively somewhat better than Veka and the like.
Anyone who has an immense amount of money should inquire with the company Skyframe from Switzerland. They install nearly frameless windows. But they also simply cost at least twice as much and you also need a suitable window manufacturer.

Our project will be sold with the plot + house. We already know the price of the plot. The architect has created a plan, which is currently with the developer/ general contractor. They have not given us a price yet. I just wanted to know roughly what we should expect or how the prices per sqm are in this region.

Hello Eberhard,

I am happy to help you. You could also have your house built more cheaply according to your architect's plan. There are numerous construction companies, including abroad, that build significantly cheaper. The price per sqm is around €1200, as an example. How can I reach you by phone?

Best regards

Jasmina

I decided on Schüco profiles, qualitatively a bit better than VEKA

If you say so ... :D It mainly depends on the installer and not the profile manufacturer (from a certain level onwards).

Since we don't want surface-mounted boxes, we will lower the ceilings inside by about 25cm, then the blinds will be installed flush with the plaster. Luckily, we have enough leeway with the house height that we can afford to lose the 25cm

Do you want to lower the entire ceiling by 25cm? That means from 270 to 245? I would never do that in my life. Or do you have a clear room height of 295cm so that you still have a buffer down to 270cm? Is 25cm enough for you? Several window manufacturers I have spoken to say that blinds with a length of 240cm require a box of about 30cm. With 270cm high windows, surely a 25cm box is not enough...

The inspection box is then directly inside at the level of the concrete ceiling. But it is more complicated. A lot of steel is needed for that. My 3.2m wide blinds received 42cm thick reinforced concrete baskets as lintels

hm.....???? Could you please sketch that? Unfortunately, my imagination is a bit limited here

there is not only Skyframe in Switzerland. The costs are also not just twice as high if the windows are to be frameless…

Do you want to completely lower the ceiling by 25cm? That is, from 270 to 245? I would never do that in my life. Or do you have a clear room height of 295cm, so you have a buffer down to 270cm? Is 25cm enough for you? Several window manufacturers I spoke to say that venetian blinds with a length of 240cm need about a 30cm box. With 270cm high windows, 25cm probably isn’t enough.

The ceilings will be lowered from 295 to 270. I wouldn’t do it from 270 to 245 either.

The windows are from Südtirol Fenster - they have their own system (ISO Bloc), where all components (windows, insulation, shading, etc.) are assembled in the factory. This way, the venetian blind boxes are smaller. They also have great (almost) frameless windows, which we will be using.
