How realistic are the advertising prices of the providers, what extra costs come on top?

Hello. We are still new to the field and are wavering between buying an existing property or a prefabricated house (solid). Now the houses from the providers are all over the real estate portals, advertising with including land and turnkey. It is clear that the prices stated do not correspond to reality. The question is where the actual price ends up? At plus 100,000? We need 4 rooms with at least 160 sqm with a garage and have a budget of 570,000... In your opinion, is this feasible also with somewhat higher-end fittings and more than 2 power outlets per room;-) ? Regards

It clearly depends on the location and the land prices.
570 might be enough just for the house in the desired configuration, but the land would still have to be added.

I would advise against further services from the land service, etc. There are already plenty of tricks here.
Never sign anything without a specific plot of land!!!

So a flush-mounted box costs 19 cents and a socket from Busch and Jäger €3.29. The meter of copper cable 3 x 1.5 at Bauhaus hardware store costs 67 cents per meter. Now you can calculate what 50 additional sockets in a newly built single-family house cost. I wouldn’t even think about it remotely.

With an offer including land service, you pay not only real estate transfer tax on the land but also on the land + house.

If you commit right away, you are bound until the end. If you buy the land first, you have some time to get to know the specific property to see what you want and start planning. During this time, you can calmly look for your building partner.

One of the most important documents is the construction performance description. It states what you get, and the most important thing is what is not included, because this comes as an additional cost block on top.

I don’t know what you mean by prefab house solid,
but if I assume that you mean exposés where house construction companies present a house and refer to a specific plot of land, then the companies often align themselves with a new development area and reserve plots. In this case, Heinz von Heiden, Viebrockhaus, Town & Country, and all the others often refer to the same plots sold by the municipality (no tied sale). However, there are also offers where the construction company acts as an intermediary and/or possibly as a developer. Then it is either a tied sale, even though you are the builder and must pay property transfer tax on everything. Or you buy house and land from one source and then also pay property transfer tax on everything. Buying from a developer means that they are the builder and you are just the buyer.

House construction companies can and do both. So it depends exactly on the offer.

One is higher quality, the other cheaper, referring to the house (construction method and fittings, this is stated in the construction service description).

The cheaper one has cheaper fittings and construction. You then pay more for a better standard on top of your standard; better providers do not need as much upgrading.
What is almost the same everywhere if you build as the builder:
For example, earthworks from 30 cm depth, ancillary construction costs, utility connections, more sockets, and high-quality tiles.
And: painting work and floor coverings in living and bedrooms.
Later come the exterior facilities and carport/garage.
The difference is that a low-budget provider installs tiles at €20 each and a 200-liter hot water tank, while the more expensive and better one installs €40 tiles and a 300-liter hot water tank.

Example: we built with a regional company comparable to Heinz von Heiden.
Our friends built with Viebrockhaus. Their house was about €30,000 more expensive in the basic configuration, but with the Nibe pump and KfW55 standard, but only decentralized ventilation. We use gas. We had to upgrade to KfW70 standard with controlled residential ventilation in the five-digit euro range.
In terms of floor coverings and additional features like level-access shower or electrical work, we roughly paid the same as the craftsman.

So: 2024: catalog price plus basic updates plus good average fittings
-> €3000/sqm living space.
Ancillary construction costs extra (plot-related €35,000-70,000)
Exterior facilities €20,000-50,000 (rough guideline)
Kitchen and so on.

You usually do best by choosing regional construction companies and finding your own plot beforehand. However, there are regional situations where this is hardly possible anymore.

Maybe really the construction method. Something like Lechner or Hebel?
