New construction - Offer for civil engineering works ok?

I don't know, I also don't know what belongs in such an offer, I've never built before

I'm really a total layman and clueless... I would have expected that it's only difficult to evaluate such a thing with more complicated plots, but with us everything is really "normal". Short pipeline routes, a normal single-family house, no basement, relatively flat plot. I thought these were standard tasks that have to be done for every house without special features and are always similarly priced (+- 1,000 EUR). But obviously I am wrong about that.

Well, if necessary, I'll just accept it as is and trust that the [GÜ] does everything correctly.

The built-up area is 142 sqm (bungalow). Maybe that information helps.

Otherwise, many thanks to all of you for the discussion and attempts to help

Hey,

thank you very much for the reply.

Yes, that is already relatively comparable and in the end, it all seems to work out quite well.

I have now definitely signed the contract with a better gut feeling.

Best regards

You do have a soil survey. With this, together with the foundation requirements of your GU, you go around pestering the civil engineers. That's no more than 3 calls. You send them everything and let yourself be surprised by what comes back. If everything is in the same range, which I don't expect, you take your civil engineer. If one is much cheaper, you just have to ask why he is so much cheaper.

You can't get a feel for civil engineering work any other way. Unless you don't care, and maybe just want to pay 4000 € too much.

But I'll say this: 10,000 doesn't sound completely exorbitant at first. Intuitively a bit high, but prices are different everywhere, and the construction boom has some craftsmen floating in other dimensions.

We are building approximately 10.5 meters x 11 meters... Excavation would therefore be larger at your place -> more expensive.

How many square meters of living space will you have then? And are there any plans of your construction project in the forum?

@Baufie: on the ground floor we have 83 sqm of living space, on the upper floor about 50 sqm. Jepp! Why do you ask?
