Feasibility Single-family house + land 400,000 €

I agree with you, they don't have to be 50€ tiles. But that's just how it is (at least in my GU offer, which I did not sign), the standard was 30€ tiles and 60x30. You had to order the tiles from a specific specialist company. What I understood after we built with individual contracts is that every dealer has different conditions/prices for GUs, developers, individual contracts. So, because of the commitment to a GU, for example, a 20€ tile costs 25€-30€ through a GU and 22€ through individual contract awarding. So the 30€ tiles are not always worth 30€.
This also applies to the sanitary trades, by the way.

By the way, I have 32€ tiles on the ground floor (120x30 & 120x20 mixed), but no one notices, in the basement they are 18€.

The problem is that as soon as you fall out of the standard laying pattern & tile sizes, an extra charge for additional effort is added on top, and the ranges are really big, starting at 20€ per sqm upwards until it really hurts and you stick to 30x30 or 30x60.

I always find it funny how everyone shouts up when someone considers building with Town & Country. We now live in our Town & Country house and I don't regret it. Some things mentioned here as not included are actually included (e.g., the outdoor water tap and the foundation slab). We also did not find upgrades or additional sockets, etc., to be overpriced. And for example, with changes to windows or similar, everything was offset (e.g., if fall protection was dropped because a floor-to-ceiling window was changed to a regular window). When choosing tiles, we were not restricted by price but rather by current trends. So if you can live with, for example, white plastic windows and don't need 150 sockets, Town & Country doesn't have to be a bad choice.

I always find it funny how everyone cries out when someone considers building with Town & Country. We now live in our Town & Country house and I don't regret it. Some things mentioned here as not included are actually included (e.g. the outdoor faucet and the base slab). We also did not perceive upgrades or additional sockets, etc. as overpriced. And for example, changes to windows or the like were all offset (e.g. when fall protection was removed because a floor-to-ceiling window was replaced by a normal window). When choosing the tiles, we were not limited by price but rather by current trends. So if, for example, you can live with white plastic windows and don’t need 150 sockets, Town & Country doesn’t have to be a bad choice.

How was the pricing with Town & Country for you? What was the biggest cost item added on top of the "excellent" price? Because turnkey for 186k can’t be right.

Some things mentioned here that were supposedly not included are actually included (e.g. the outdoor water tap and the floor slab).

And for example, with changes to windows or the like, everything was offset (e.g. if fall protection was removed because a floor-to-ceiling window was changed to a normal window). When choosing the tiles, we were not restricted by the price but rather by the current fashion. So if you can live, for example, with white plastic windows and don't need 150 sockets, Town & Country doesn't have to be a bad choice.

no, all good, they also build houses with roofs. But it is and remains a low-price segment. If you are already budgeting tightly now and can't build up reserves, how is it supposed to be if something happens during construction? Was T&C lenient with you or did everything go smoothly?

I would also think it's cool if you wrote a post about the conclusion, how everything went and what it cost in the end.

I would also think it’s cool if you could write a post at the end about how everything went and what it ultimately cost.

I can get to that soon... at the moment, unfortunately, I don’t have the time to calculate everything in detail again due to lack of childcare, so I don’t forget anything.
