Hello,
What costs do you estimate for the garage, construction expert? 40-50k?
No, if the double garage is built with masonry and is to have a flat roof, at least EUR 25,000 (without sectional door) must be budgeted.
then that would still be 320,000-330,000 for a house without a basement
"Our dream house" says: "
The equipment should not be high-class, but still upscale" - then I cannot budget below €1,700.00 to €1,800.00/sqm/living area (house). And - when I mention prices, groundwork (under normal soil conditions), access, terrace as well as painting and flooring are always included in the mentioned price. Turn the key and move in.
and without heat pump/electrics (which you separately stated with 40k) without outdoor facilities and without ancillary costs... makes about 180 €/sqm for 180sqm... considering quite a bit is still missing, a proud price per sqm...
I based it on 200 sqm
real living area.
If I include the 35k ancillary costs and the 40k bus/heat pump, I end up at €2,250/sqm for the house without garage...
I included the double garage in the price indication.
I would have guessed you could get cheaper if you don’t have high-class demands or don’t want extravagant architecture...
"Our dream house" does not want simple equipment and for the architecture I only considered a gable roof; a cube or even a staggered storey would require quite some extra euros.
What do you see as the main cost driver here, construction expert?
You must not forget that we are talking about 200 sqm pure living area here, upscale equipment and calculated so that you can move in directly.
Most builders - how should they know otherwise - are under the mistaken assumption that a piece of house including all equipment features, extras and construction ancillary costs (which strictly speaking must not be included in the price per sqm for the house) must not cost more than €1,300.00. That doesn’t work; I hardly know a house - with quite normal equipment - that, when all costs are added up, is under €1,700.00/sqm.
The architect gets paid, the structural engineer, the building supervisor, the state, the notary, the bank, the civil engineer, the paver, the seller, etc. The building supervisor, for example, has a responsibility both to his client and his employees; so he has to calculate in such a way that he can still stand on economically sound feet next year. This continues through all trades so that a serious offer ultimately results in the fixed price.
There is no cost driver in the classic sense, unless the client has extravagant wishes - for example a special series of sockets. I have one at the moment; the sockets come from Belgium and cost €400 each. Or ground concrete (currently very trendy) instead of tiles or parquet - costs at least €120/sqm.
Either way, costs always depend on the wishes of the builder.
Best regards
