I don’t know if I am actually thrifty.
Yes, you become greedy
I have budgeted 70,000 euros for the sampling and hope to manage with that.
It depends on what the base price refers to. Is it a shell house? Should the 70,000 also cover extra technology (KfW) and builder-supplied flooring? Or is it "only" for visible interior fittings?
Everything is relative.
Our catalog house was at 150,000. With an open space and (a bit) more technology as well as anthracite-colored windows, we quickly reached 185,000. With the flooring, electrical installations, paint on the walls, drywall extras, and additional costs for sanitary facilities as well as electrical gadgets, we are probably also at these 70,000 (I don’t remember exactly). If we had now also changed these awful white sockets with those surface-mounted thermostats, we would probably already be at 75,000.
