Hello,
Besides, I would be interested to know how high you estimate the costs for the construction? What is generally cheaper? Solid house or prefabricated house?
According to all experience, a solidly built house – important: with comparable quality – is always more cost-effective.
Basement with granny flat (self-construction) 45,000 Eur
Are you building the basement completely yourself or are you “only” doing the interior finishing of the granny flat on your own?
Additional construction costs 30,000 Eur
Yep, between TEUR 35-40; in the case of a hillside location, however, several thousand euros would probably be added.
I would be very grateful for your opinions before I always have long conversations with architects and then don’t get an offer again because some point is still open.
That only works rudimentarily, because the hillside location must be inspected on site, the property measured, and thereafter a soil report prepared. Don’t deceive yourself about the additional costs for the hillside; you have 2 sides/semi-detached house which must be calculated as above-ground exterior walls. Also important: with hillside locations, layer water must always be taken into account. And the additional earthworks – even with favorable soil conditions – are not yet included.
To give you an idea, I have attached a side view of a construction project where we are currently waiting for the building permit.

The air/water heat pump according to heat demand calculation and energy saving regulation
Controlled ventilation system with heat recovery from exhaust air (only for the main apartment) is done via an integrated central ventilation system
Complete flat duct package for central regulation of supply and exhaust air (only for the main apartment)
The complete hot water heating center with integrated domestic water supply, ready for connection; separate hot water storage 200 l

• Outdoor facilities
Included in the fixed price are the complete outdoor facilities except possibly required support brackets (L-stones) for retaining the hillside: earthworks (without possibly necessary soil replacement or possibly fill according to soil report), access path to the house with appropriate paving approx. 2.00 m wide, terrace in front of the basement floor 12.00 m x 3.50 m with frost-proof covering at a material value of € 25.00/sqm
Including 19% VAT* at a fixed price for turnkey € 385,600.00
In the above example, our builders achieve pure living space of 76.34 sqm for the granny flat and 178.80 sqm for the main apartment according to DIN. If you are wondering about the additional ventilation system for the granny flat – with a single-family house with granny flat you cannot run the ventilation via one system! And – in the granny flat in the basement
no toilet needs to be installed, otherwise instead of the small lifting station a larger one with double chopper would have had to be installed.
Kfw 70 - prefabricated house 200,000 Eur with heat pump and ventilation, what would that cost us as a solid house? House dimensions 8.5m x 11m, knee wall 1m?
That should be about 150 sqm for the main apartment and about 70 sqm living area for the granny flat; approximately 220 sqm total estimated according to DIN. Broken down from the presented example
and with the same equipment, you should realistically calculate TEUR 310-330/semi-detached house.
