Hello everyone,
I hope someone here might be able to help me.
We would like to build a timber frame extension (13.90 m long and 3 m deep) onto our basemented old building. The basement protrudes about 80 cm above the surface (see attached pictures).
The extension (without basement) would have to be leveled with the ground level of the old building.
On the required new foundation, a flat-roofed timber frame building will then be constructed.
The area is easily accessible for trucks and there is enough space for equipment/crane, etc.
Now my question: I already have an offer from a construction company. It includes the following items:
Construction site setup (incl. portable toilet): 5,600 EUR
Earthworks building: 6,800 EUR
Drainage building plot: 1,600 EUR
Reinforced concrete works: 16,200 EUR
Sealing works: 1,400 EUR
(an 8 m basement outer wall shall be insulated and sealed)
Hourly wage works: 17,800 EUR
This results in a total amount of 49,400 EUR (net) = 58,786 EUR (gross).
No wooden walls or other fittings are included yet!
The price seems very high to me.
Is that normal?
Assuming that the finishing costs account for 60% of the total amount, we would end up at about 150,000 EUR for approximately 40 m2 extension!
I would be very grateful for any experience, preferably professional answers.
