I think that is too optimistic.
Also, you can't use prices from 18 years ago as a reference. I renovated a house with my ex from 2010-2012 and still knew all the prices. For the new house, I got quotes from the same companies and was quite surprised. As an example: complete heating, water and sewage with solar system and buffer tank, underfloor heating for 200 sqm in 2010 for €23,500. Today, replacing three radiators, moving one by two meters, a smaller solar system, fixing the bathrooms so that new concealed fittings can be installed, and a few other small things. Really nothing major. The quote from the same heating company was around €29,000. Windows and front door replaced in 2010 for €15,000, from the company that supplied the door back then, I now got a quote for almost €30,000!
Just ask two or three companies and simply ask over the phone for an approximate sum to calculate with. It certainly won’t be exact, but then you have a direction. And on top of that, I would add another 30%.
What I’ve noticed again now is that there are enormous price differences. For the windows with door, I had quotes for the same brand between €22,000 and €30,000. We have now ordered a different brand for €18,000.
