Our financing is already secured
However, I am just wondering, how much own money should one keep in reserve at minimum? Is there a rule of thumb for that?
I would be interested in your opinions.

Apartment from the developer, some buffer for "Sonderausstattung" is included.

I often read here that 10% of the construction costs should be kept as a buffer. After deducting the furniture, we will probably have €35-40K left.

Before the start of construction, we didn’t even have that much... for now we only have about 5-10K. However, we are now also doing one or two things outside that were actually planned for later.

Then we are actually quite solidly positioned with 40-45 T€.

That's fine too. The main thing is not having to provide additional financing. We had previously expected higher costs and had been relatively frugal as well.

If they are really developers, then only the risk of overpriced upgrades and furniture/lamps remains. This is to be assessed differently than building a house with risks for earthworks, etc.
