Klinker veneer cost per sqm - surcharge justified?

Hello everyone, I am new here and I am starting right away with a question. We are planning a house build in Mönchengladbach (Bauhaus style) and are currently looking for a general contractor who will build the house according to our plans at a fixed price. Now we were somewhat surprised by a company regarding the surcharge for the planned clinker slips. The surcharge compared to normal ETICS is 51,000€. I have now gone through all the plans and measured the wall areas from our 3D model. Here I come to a total area of 311 sqm. The material price for the slips is 38.70€ gross. The corner slips cost according to the GC about 10,000€ --> which makes around 22,000€ for the material. That would mean over 90€ per sqm for the installation. Is that a common price for it? If not, does anyone know a company that installs the slips at a good price? Regards Stefan

The surcharge is probably due to the fact that a Bauhaus with clinker slips is a total style break, the BU internally shudders at the idea and wants to spoil your appetite for slips with the horrendous offer.

hi, you can't really argue about taste (stilbruch). we like it and I have the feeling that the client is quite impressed with our design. the bricks were never an issue during the three appointments, at least never a topic. but I gather from your response that the price is too high. what would be a realistic price per sqm for the labor costs? regards Stefan

Just ask how much proper brick cladding is supposed to cost. With the prices being asked, it can't be much. Or are there problems with the building boundary or something?

Nope, the building envelope is big enough. But even if proper bricks don't cost much more, for me it's about optimizing the price a bit. Can someone tell me a common price per square meter for laying brick slips? The question is whether it's just expensive or completely overpriced.

The surcharge is probably due to the fact that a Bauhaus with clinker slips is a total break of style, the builder internally shudders at the idea and wants to spoil your appetite for slips with the horrendous offer.

That is near us. I don't think it's bad.
