All together just under 300 T€ (of which plot 47 T€).

What exactly does all special equipment mean?

e.g.
floor-level open shower in the main bathroom,
additional shower in the guest bathroom,
heat pump with flat plate collectors including underfloor heating,
manual roller shutters (electrical only on patio door)
upscale tile work
additional sockets/light switches etc. (sufficient but not oversized)
dark stained cantilevered bolted staircase
improved burglar protection
here and there a few small details

So, a walk-in shower is standard nowadays, right? Especially since it’s not significantly more expensive, if you’re building new anyway, it doesn’t matter whether I install a shower channel or a shower tray. Without the shower, it wouldn’t be a guest bathroom but a guest WC, manual shutters an extra???, what are upscale tiling works?, "sufficient" electrical installation is standard (sufficient = grade 4), KNX would be, for example, upscale or an extra...

No offense intended, but this is the case I meant, everything that is more than absolutely cheapest is labeled as upscale.

In appraisals there are 5 levels:

1 and 2 are no longer up to date but still functional, level 3 can be described as what is currently the common or affordable standard among the mentioned companies, level 4 is then upscale, this includes triple glazing, electric shutters, special burglary protection, multiple LAN and TV connections, etc. (this is probably, at least in large parts, the most common level that is built), level 5 are, for example, KNX, video and alarm systems, air conditioning and all sorts of luxury like slate roofing up to the "golden faucets."

Therefore, as I said, I would classify most houses largely as upscale, but few will have installed all the special features.
