In the subforum you mentioned, almost only supraregional ones can be found. And the regional part is wrongly listed, namely sorted alphabetically and not by postal code - as far as I remember. You can forget it! It's just not the best, uh, pages.
And unfortunately, the OP does not use the mentioned forums regarding construction costs/ancillary construction costs as well as liquidity planning.
A forum can contribute to information – business matters, forming an impression of something, etc. can almost only be done locally.
The question here is closed – but unfortunately, you can't read him anywhere else. So I hope he is currently on the phone with another builder he met today.
Of course, we will go to a new development area this week – if we can take time off – and ask who you are building with, how your experiences are, etc.
I will approach the subforum Ancillary Construction Costs. Thanks for the tip.
I will also look into the Finance subforum.
That’s already great and makes it even more fun together with friends. If you can actually do the tiling yourself, that is quite a considerable saving or you might be able to implement special things. Often, it is enough to have someone like that as a backup and be able to contact them.
You have to work, because that pays for your house. Family will surely often have to come second, but working together with your wife makes sense and is also fun; we always did it that way, while our consistently young neighbors asked us why we didn’t let someone else do it.
Anyone not willing to do that should, in my opinion, stay away from house building or have a correspondingly large budget. We already had a child with the first build. It was not possible otherwise because we wanted the house; that was part of the price.
What I just happened to read. Storage is nice but financially not advisable, so remove or do later.
Finding the “right” construction company is not easy. I don’t know Town & Country myself but believe that they build just as good houses as others. They use the same materials, have good or less good employees, like other companies as well. The problem lies in the fittings and whether you will be satisfied with that. From a certain upgrade level, it probably doesn’t make sense with them anymore. Ultimately, you have to check the respective construction specification, that is your bible, carefully.
So far, you calculate with these €3000.-/sqm + ancillary costs, and from that you can roughly tell yourself whether it fits your finances.
Very good!
Who should have told you that so far? Until just now, for example, the basement was apparently planned too generously too big; I read a lot about ancillary costs in this thread and the forum is full of them. But you won’t learn the exact euro here.
Logically, you can only be given rough rules of thumb here that you can still partly influence yourself. For our house, we didn’t install a heat pump for various reasons but use infrared and a fireplace, plus an air conditioning unit that we also occasionally heat with. There are so many adjustment screws for a house price, and what fits me can be considered nonsense by others. For example, we wanted to build with Liapor, suddenly bricks were on site, and it was said the masonry company had to be changed, it couldn’t be helped. Excuse me? They had already started, and what do you do then? Today, the house stands the same in KfW40+ standard, and how should I now tell which bricks were used?
Therefore, Massa Haus or Town & Country can also be an option for you; there are plenty of experience reports here. You only get a price once you know where the journey is going. Have you reliably clarified that with the buddies already?
Also very good but here I often read an assumption that even such things are outsourced. Such things add up, and I preferred to install an air conditioning system for some of the money saved that way.
In your list of construction companies, I read occasional “devaluations,” which is ultimately too general, as usually many factors determine whether construction runs smoothly. My general contractor was top-rated, had regional references and exclusively small regional companies. We would never build with him again, we now use this idea more as a running gag. Others are very satisfied with Town & Country or Massa Haus. As far as I read from you, perhaps such a shell house might also be suitable.
Find a suitable floor plan (Town & Country or somewhere else on the net), which can still be slightly adapted here to your possible needs within the scope, then go with it to Köhler or whatever his name was and tell him exactly that you adapted it somewhat from Town & Country or similar.
Then add your desired fittings and you already have a price.
To clarify: controlled residential ventilation? Insulation standard (I recommend at least KfW40), heating system? and his construction specification, which you carefully look at together here. Then you are further and more concretely informed or realize that it might not work after all.
Thanks for the tips – I too have been hesitant about insulation so far, but without basement it becomes more interesting again. Interesting heating combo, btw. Had never thought about that either.
I don’t know what you don’t understand: Town & Country is what you can afford.
A more direct formulation couldn’t have caused the confusion. Doesn’t matter anyway.
So you would be willing to kill Schrödinger’s cat just so you can then record the certainly correct answer to the question of whether it is still alive? – then I’d better finish the Café Korten, I don’t really believe that!
Huh, what? I notice you really enjoy wordplays. For me, the topic is very serious, and yes, I have great respect for it. It’s too cryptic for me, but I do smile sometimes about it.
Town & Country is more like "Heinz von Heiden of Ratiopharm," I’d say. The conservative penny-pincher buys the A3 under the name Golf.
Even here – huh? I don’t want ibuprofen but an expert assessment of Town & Country, for example.
Town & Country is more the league where he belongs – but not specifically with this provider.
That sounds more understandable to me – but why? Because Town & Country has such a low construction specification? Carpet as standard – Ideal Standard basin instead of Xy?
The Lichthaus is a good example (about "your" size) for a bestseller from the category "catalog house" / "type house." Several other examples would have been needed to reach a comparable number of Müllermeiersschultzes who have chosen such a model.
Thanks, I understand that well and can continue reading.
And if you have not died, you are still calculating today" (that’s how your building dream ends in a fairy tale book)
Probably true – I will keep reading in the subforum, thanks for the tip.
No one advises you that either.
That’s why the advice is to choose a general contractor. Why do I have the feeling that you don’t take any advice at all?
I do, the general contractor will be the choice – free planning, goodbye.
