Feedback floor plan - size and price ok?

Or you need to explain more precisely what the 450k is supposed to cover. Also ancillary construction costs, earthworks, outdoor facilities? Or is there a separate budget for all that?

everything except architect

Just to hammer home the point about the budget once again: We are building soon - 130 sqm. A small house compared to yours, ours without a garage and without a basement. We are budgeting 400,000 euros for construction costs, ancillary construction costs, and outdoor facilities, and it remains to be seen whether that will be enough...

No, proximity to Frankfurt does not make it better.

Budget projections have already been discussed here. I am not enough of a professional to assess this, but if your budget of 450k just for the house is a pretty hard limit (I am not talking about a buffer because it will get more expensive anyway). Then honestly, I don't know if it’s worth just "trimming" the existing design.

Just a few reference points. People like to calculate with 2,000/sqm here. Depending on the region, that's sometimes a bit too much or too little. Near Frankfurt rather too little. Some say the 2k are already outdated and it’s more like 2.2 or 2.5.

But we are still talking about a relatively simple building mass and no upscale fittings.

Architects like to calculate in enclosed space. You can also calculate that with 450 - 500 euros per m3 of enclosed space.

In addition, you have your extra costs for slope etc. I have no experience with that at all. But at that level with a long outside staircase, retaining walls, etc., 100k for earthworks and outdoor facilities can also be quickly spent. Do you have that on your radar in your calculation?

Just to emphasize the budget again: We are building soon - 130 sqm. A small house compared to yours, ours without a garage and without a basement. We are calculating with 400,000 euros for construction costs, incidental construction costs, and outdoor facilities, and it remains to be seen whether that will be enough...

May I ask in which area this is? Seems not unimportant...

...ok, just read it now, I’m even more shocked....so all of that is supposed to be included?? Oh man... Edit: my figures mentioned above refer exclusively to the building. No additional construction costs, no earthworks, no outdoor facilities etc.

may I ask, in which area is that? Seems not unimportant...

Not about expensive, Ulm outskirts.
