I am trying to check whether the price offered to me for a house construction is reasonable.
Model: An architect builds houses at a fixed price through his company. He buys a plot of land, demolishes the existing building, and constructs two semi-detached houses on it. I am offered the plot + demolition of the existing building + shell construction + roof covering/insulation/gutters + garage at a fixed price (notary basis). The interior finishing is contracted individually by me; I have offer prices by trade, executing company, and service description from the architect. The architect does not earn anything more on the interior finishing (I pay only a €5,000 flat fee for his site manager), i.e., his profit is completely included in the "notary basis."
After deducting the market price of the plot, passed-on incidental purchase costs + 0.5 demolition costs of the existing building (including cellar) + subdivision, there remain:
About €400,000 as a fixed price for planning + shell construction + roof covering/-insulation + garage + profit:
Here is my estimated cost breakdown based on my research (I don’t have expertise myself) with the request to check whether this roughly fits:
Details: 1.5-story semi-detached house, 8x13 m, attic developed as living space, waterproof concrete cellar, construction according to the 2016 Energy Saving Ordinance, approx. 1000 m³ enclosed volume (my calculation based on section).
1) Earthworks + shell construction: approx. €150,000?
(Cellar: 36.5 cm masonry or concrete, partition wall neighbor made of sand-lime brick; masonry: load-bearing: sand-lime brick + 120 mm core insulation + facing bricks (€0.5 per brick), non-load-bearing: sand-lime brick/brick/plaster walls; ceilings: reinforced concrete, stairs from cellar to attic: reinforced concrete)
2) Masonry + facing bricks garage 9x5 m: approx. €30,000?
3) Roof covering + insulation + gutters: approx. €50,000?
(approx. 160 m² roof area (my calculation based on section), roof truss made of softwood, quality concrete tiles on underlay, gutters + downpipes in zinc, insulation meets the requirement for living space attic and attic floor)
4) Architect and engineering services: approx. €35,000?
Subtotal costs: €265,000
Remaining amount (€400,000 - €265,000): €135,000
- thereof VAT: €22,000
- thereof profit/margin: €113,000
a) Does the allocation of the fixed price appear realistic?
b) Is the margin/profit market-typical – considering that there is no additional profit from the interior finishing?
Thank you very much for any input in advance!!!
