After an appointment at the building authority, we now know that we have to take care of the connections from the property boundary to the house completely on our own.
Yes, those are the utility connection costs and are included in every miscellaneous construction cost list, often being roughly quoted at €10,000.
We want to ask the site manager if he can also handle the civil engineering for the 4 meters from the street to the house as well. That surely saves costs compared to hiring a separate company.
That is often a sovereign task of specialized civil engineering companies, for example with us: they then dig for all the connections.
However, appointments are often hard to get. That can mean waiting times.
According to our building description, construction electricity is included in the offer. But I still have to clarify that
Telekom is already in progress
We want to request electricity these days.
Water is through the municipality but they could not yet inform us of exact costs.
Construction electricity
Water costs must be inquired from your water supplier. That is also a flat rate, like electricity and gas.
So you have to ask your basic supplier for the prices.
The building description states: costs for electricity, construction water, mobile toilets are included in the fixed price.
But only the consumption: that will be reimbursed to you, you pay the rent for the unit yourself.
The general contractor usually tells you that they need construction electricity and water. Then you register that with the utilities.
So it’s mostly about the few meters between the boundary and the house :)
Yes, that’s the case with every build.
May I ask what you roughly paid for water/sewage, electricity, and telecom?
That varies regionally.
Telekom has a special accessibility for builders.
