Floor plan design single-family house (city villa 140 sqm) on a slope with double garage

A colleague has just finished construction. Built with a prefab house provider without a basement but with a solid garage. 120 sqm, 1.5 floors. In the countryside next to a town of 50k inhabitants. I have seen his calculation. 350k€ without the plot.

I have to chime in now as well, after having endured the entire thread in one go.

In my opinion, you are spinning in a very bad circle of "it shouldn’t be too expensive - I’ll first see what I want and then look at the price - what it costs, it costs."

I would strongly recommend that you set a budget for yourself and additionally an absolute pain threshold (e.g., 250,000 would be nice - 300,000 would still be justifiable) and only after that look at what kind of house you can get for that. Of course, this should be realistic— you’re already noticing yourself what kind of discussions it brings when it turns out that around 150,000 more are possible than initially stated in the first posts.
Don’t forget to take into account all the little things like a new kitchen, furniture, etc., and set a buffer that your contractors don’t find out about.

Believe me, it’s easier to upgrade the house than to first build your dream hut only to somehow force it into the budget afterwards.

They really screwed him.
No, it's possible. There are such regional and individual differences in this. You wouldn’t believe it.

Katja, now take a look. If you choose a 140sqm prefabricated house at Luxhaus:

- 250k€ turnkey from the top of the foundation slab.
- The foundation slab is additional
- The groundwork is additional
- Removal and landfill
- Drainage
- House connections
- All the selections and fittings are additional
- Then the site conditions of the OP
- Garage
- etc. and so on.

The additional items amount to more than 100k€.

I am not the one who sets the price.

: I understand you. But it's silly to debate about it. Look here: at Danwood you have the Point 140.17 for €170,800. That would be €80k less than your example. And now? Ultimately says nothing.

Thanks, that’s a great post!

Of course, we want to proceed as you described. But you also read that completely different amounts are being called for our project here – and not just slight nuances! That makes it extremely difficult for me currently to spend a maximum amount. Of course, preferably as little as possible but with all the things we need.
