New bathrooms - save costs

Hi,

this is how it went for me:
- Meeting at the shell construction and determining the positions.
- Meeting with the plumber at a bathroom showroom, my better half, as always, confidently chose something expensive.
- Received an offer from the plumber and I suddenly experienced shortness of breath.
- Ordered about three quarters of the items online. I estimate the savings between 25-30%. I had the list somewhere.
- Installed by the plumbing company.

Cheers, torsan

That they do something like that...

I received a statement for my SaniLötgerät after visiting the bathroom exhibition - including prices. And lo and behold, my soldering device is partly priced BELOW Reuter & Co., partly slightly above.
The heat pump is well below the lowest internet price... so it is also possible with the local craftsman!

We are currently dealing with the topic also because of the planning.

We have 3 bathrooms planned (1 per floor) and 2 guest WCs (one with a shower). Bathrooms of normal standard, nothing exciting from us. Bathrooms are planned to be rather modest, only 8-10 sqm. Mirrors, cabinets, furniture, and fancy things are all left out, just pure installation like fittings and ceramics.

In the planning, we have 20,000 euros budgeted for this. Is that realistic? Are we completely off in one direction? Give me roughly some guidance, like a bathroom costs roughly 5k or so?

Give a rough estimate, like a bathroom costs roughly 5k or so?

In my experience, more like 10,000 euros per bathroom. But it really depends a lot ....

With or without tiles? In your description, IMO it leads to "not enough." Try it differently: number of washbasins (size), number of toilets, number of showers (size, shower system or just shower hose, glass [real or plastic] or open, tiled or shower tray), number of bathtubs (size, material), number of towel radiators. Then there are things like tiled shelves, etc.

Furniture and frills are maybe superfluous, but at least they don't do without mirrors.

Including tiles or just the sanitary fittings including the [UP-Zeugs]?

Without tiling, only sanitary equipment. Also no further installations, those are covered elsewhere. Also no water meters or the like. So roughly estimated 5x toilets, 5x sinks, 4x showers, 3x bathtubs.

Of course, mirrors and furniture will be needed later, but we don't need those for this planning yet.

Towel warmers etc. are also included as a buffer at the heating system.

As said, just to get an approximate value whether we are completely off by 20,000 euros here.
