Don’t do that to her either, even if the highest amounts are always assumed?
What do you mean?
No, I don’t compare our general contractor’s budget house with an architect’s house.
I don’t compare our price for gravel for the yard with a paved driveway.
And I don’t compare my demands, whether less pronounced in one area (e.g. heating technology) or higher in special design, with the demands of others.
And I certainly don’t have to equate the needs of a two-person household with those of a four-person household.
I always try to empathize a bit with the original poster and their wishes.
If someone here with two left hands asks about construction prices, I can’t tell them they can save several thousand euros with a trip to the hardware store.
Basically, I prefer to help those who are building with a general contractor and despair over the floor plan because they can’t afford an architect. I try to help those people and have already questioned many expensive nice-to-haves in my numerous thread starts so that an affordable house results for people with normal incomes.
Definitely, hardly the highest costs are called up here, but you don’t have to approve everything with cheap construction either—you also have to open your eyes sometimes.
For example, if you tell yourself that landscaping can be done yourself, good night, Marie, if you suggest that to the original poster. Because building a ramp for a wheelchair doesn’t cost nothing either.
And in central and southern Germany, the soil conditions are simply different than in the flat country. The north-south divide is already visible in incomes...
No more time, otherwise I could write novels.
Best to also flip to page 30 of the forum and read.
