Dear forum,
we have looked at a plot of land that we really like and where we can imagine building a single-family house. However, this plot is not serviced. Because a very large plot (2,000m2) is to be physically divided. The resulting plot we are interested in would then have 850 m2 and would be a flag lot. Now, the crucial question for us is: what will the plot cost us besides the purchase price and additional costs until we can build on it?
Silver lining: there is already a project plan for a semi-detached house on the plot because previous interested parties' financing fell through. I spoke with the project manager, whose job is still not entirely clear to me. Because he has already designed a complete semi-detached house including floor plans, costs, etc. for the plot, but he would not build the house in the end, rather he would only take care of the plot’s servicing and then hand it over to a developer!? Anyway, his cost breakdown for the servicing is as follows.
ADDITIONAL CONSTRUCTION COSTS:
CONSTRUCTION PREPARATIONS:
PLANNING SERVICES:
Design planning based on individually coordinated specifications of the building family
Preparation of necessary documents for the financing bank based on the individual design planning
Preparation of necessary documents for the notarial purchase contract or, if applicable, the subdivision of the plot
Carrying out ordnance survey / hazard investigation
Preparation of digital site and elevation plans for building application
Preparation of a digital tree inventory plan
Preparation of an expert assessment / evaluation of the existing tree stock
Obtaining any necessary police permits for parking bans etc.
Preparation of soil report including soil analysis (LAGA)
Preparation of necessary documents for applying for the certificate of completion
Total: €19,050
When adding all costs together, the total comes to €103,500.
Of course, I know that no one here can evaluate the costs in detail because every plot is individual, you don’t know the details of the plot, etc. Nevertheless, €100,000+ seems like an insanely high amount to build "a few meters" of road and to lay cables and pipes from house A to plot B. My questions:
Thanks for your help in putting this matter into perspective.

My questions:
[*]Is €100k a realistic figure to subdivide and subsequently service a plot? (We’re talking about about 40m of access and probably about the same for cables, pipes and wastewater)
[*]Is there any potential to save money in the above list?
[*]What can be done by oneself?
[*]What approach is recommended for such servicing?
Thanks for your help in putting this matter into perspective.
