New single-family house construction in Lower Saxony - what is the amount of the architect's fee?

I don't think the house is possible for €250k. For example, what money will pay for the garage?

The garage being fully bricked up would be strictly optional. A carport would also be an option, as it can equally serve as a shelter for the cars. Or it can simply be built later.
It must be mentioned that we are planning a large amount of personal contribution because relatives and [Vitamin B] are available for all trades, except for the slab and masonry work.
Therefore, planning this is difficult for us without a preliminary estimate from the architect. That’s as far as feasibility goes.

The €60,000 for the land and about €15,000-20,000 (planned for initial ancillary construction costs, architect, structural engineer, energy consultant, etc.) are equity. €250,000 are the purely planned costs for the house construction without the ancillary construction costs.

I don't quite understand yet... €15-20k is not enough for the ancillary costs, so is there additional equity or how?

I still don't quite understand...15-20k is not enough for the additional costs...so is there extra equity or what?

The equity is initially meant for the start. My primary concern is the architect's offer, which - as far as I understand correctly - is based on the construction sum. This is therefore set at €250,000 purely for the house construction.

That will - clearly - not be enough.

Take to heart the words of . He has a wealth of experience to draw upon.

Vitamin B

Vitamin B (also among relatives) will leave you out in the rain as soon as a full payer comes along. When it comes to money, friendship ends; nobody has anything to give away.

Due to the building conditions, no townhouse villa may be built
- The floors should be separated by a roof cornice (90 sqm downstairs, 60 sqm upstairs) to comply with the building conditions and still have no sloping ceilings upstairs

This will not be a cheap house - the construction method is relatively expensive because there are many roof corners as well as the connection of the intermediate roof to the upper floor. The structural engineering is also not the easiest.

4. Does it make sense to ask the architect for a rough sketch in the form of an acquisition to determine compatibility at all? Or is that asking too much?

The Nikolaus-Haus will not show you whether the chemistry fits. You check that during small talk.

The €60,000 for the plot and approximately €15,000-20,000 (planned for initial incidental building costs, architect, structural engineer, energy consultant, etc.) are equity. €250,000 are the pure planned costs for the house construction excluding the incidental building costs.
Does this untangle things a bit? Hope it helps with understanding .

As it is, it is confusing and misleading.
Land costs including incidental purchase costs
House costs
Incidental building costs
Outdoor facilities

= Total costs

Financing volume = Total costs - (Equity - kitchen and furniture)

The equity is initially intended for the beginnings.

Too little... roughly €300,000 for a 150 sqm gable roof house plus incidental building costs.

We didn’t want to pay €250,000 for the house and decided to build with a general contractor (GU), since the final price was fixed.
An architect easily miscalculates by 20% (as one often reads here).
