House construction planned, what sums must one reckon with today?

I am leaning more towards moving in in 2026. Has the development plan procedure already been completed? If not, then it can take even longer. If yes, it can still take longer if there is a lawsuit (from the dear neighbors). And then another year until the development. That means you can start building from 2025 and move in from 2026 after one year of construction (conservatively estimated from a distance).

Since the area so far still consists of a few large parcels (agricultural grassland) without a parcel for a road and also without individual purchasable building plots, it will probably take at least 1 year at best before one could think about starting construction there.

Is the development plan procedure already completed? If not, then it could take even longer. If yes, then it can also take longer if there is a lawsuit (from the dear neighbors).

The dear neighbors (cemetery) are dead, they will miss the lawsuit deadlines. On the municipality’s website, there is no indication that anything more than the justification of the development plan existed. The municipality’s information about this building area suggests that the municipality has outsourced the marketing: interested parties for the plots are supposed to contact a company (which is presumably the development contractor). Apparently, someone first came up with an access road that loops into the area; and the remaining land after the construction of the access road is then parceled into maximally generic, uniformly sized slices. In the picture in what I’d politely call a “sales brochure,” it looks as if a PCB assembly machine placed the building symbols onto this sheet cake. A loveless building plot ghetto. You have to be pretty desperate to become an interested party. But that applies to enough land seekers today that I wouldn’t count on negligibly few competitors.

We want to build something similar. 2 full floors, flat roof, plus basement, approximately 185 sqm living space, very simple, rectangular building structure. Turnkey. I had two long phone calls with Weberhaus and Schwörerhaus. We will probably hardly come under €3500. We want the following extras:

-Parquet throughout the house (except entrance hallway on ground floor, kitchen, bathrooms, basement, which should be tiled).

- Raffstores on the ground floor

- Guest WC on the ground floor, full bathroom and shower bathroom on the upper floor

- Floor-to-ceiling windows on the upper floor

- A total of approx. 9 m floor-to-ceiling windows on the ground floor facing the terrace with lift-slide door

- Anthracite-colored window frames

- Oak cantilever staircase

- Fireplace

- Carport approx. (3.5x7 m)

- White plastered facade, partially interrupted by wooden cladding

We are now getting a first offer from both companies in advance and then we will see... I will gladly report here how the offers look.

If you manage that for under 700k including the basement, in my opinion you still have a good price (for today's standards). There are some expensive extra requests included.

We have a maximum budget for the house of 800,000 €. The outdoor facilities should also be paid from that (paving driveway approx. 40 sqm, small tool shed and bicycle shed, both approx. 6 sqm, a fence and a hedge, lawn seeding, sandbox, swing, currant bushes, 2 fruit trees...). Hope that 800,000 will be sufficient.

Don't forget the additional construction costs. With a basement, you have quite a bit of earthworks and disposal. I consider a total budget of 800k quite tight for a house of that size with a basement. Just the kitchen in such a large house and standard quickly costs over 20k.
