Financing volume 410k € Feasibility assessment

Sure, hard to compare. But where some build for 3,000 per square meter, others might manage it for 2,250 euros. That seems far too little discussed here in the forum, where I was previously just a silent reader.

I notice very large differences in costs. I don’t believe that construction costs around Stuttgart or Munich are the same as in the “middle of nowhere.”

If I basically convert the garage space into “living space,” doesn’t that become much more expensive for me? Can you explain that a bit? :)

The north-south gradient as well as east-west is not neglected here. In the north, you can still build for 2300€, but not in the south. The federal state is already taken into account, and even a small town next to a large city offers you the high prices.

Instead of garages/storage basements, you can build a living basement, called UG, which saves you one floor above. Integrating garages into the building structure is basically filling too much unnecessary space in an unnecessary floor through the slope. - The architect does not tell you that this is the most expensive version of parking a vehicle. There are good and bad ones of these as well. You have to be able to afford garages. They are a status symbol. The wider the gate, the more euphoric the returning home person. Ultimately, you can't do what you think in a garage, unless it is 8 x 8 instead of 6 x 6.

1,980 € per sqm without incidental construction costs [..] If I include them, the sqm for us is 2,880 €.

137,000€ ancillary construction costs sound a bit high.

but it also depends on what was included in the cost per m².

We are building according to the Energy Saving Ordinance, 153m² without garage and basement, with controlled residential ventilation, lift-and-slide doors, electric shutters, underfloor heating, gas fireplace, upgrades for electrical and sanitary installations and various other things; we are at €303,054.15, so €1,980 per m² without additional construction costs and without exterior facilities (contract from November 2020).

If I include those, our cost per m² is €2,880.

Missing as larger amounts then are the floor coverings + painting work (own contribution; planned €10k) and kitchen + utility room (both signed for €26k, but that is individual) and in our case also about €10k more for additional/new furniture (also individual).
