Hello,
a question now for the old hands, because I simply cannot believe it - there is an existing building on a plot of land that allows for an infill development of 95 sqm. Unfortunately, the existing building sits quite large and with window openings on the relevant side right in the middle.
So I would like to add a bungalow there (in compliance with the development plan and fire protection), but I can’t find out what it would cost - because on that the whole feasibility depends.
Now it is said that an architect could plan within my budget....
The architect then asks a builder, who in turn said he would need a plan to determine what it costs. That means I am supposed to commission the architect to draw a plan and will initially be out 300 or rather 3,000 euros (realistic?).
The architect needs the assessable costs for his billing - what exactly does he set here if the costs only become clear after his plan? So he can’t tell me in advance what his drawing will cost?
Is it really like this - I make a contract with an architect to draw a plan, based on a fictional construction sum for his billing, and then it turns out afterwards that it’s not feasible because it’s actually too expensive - ?
And by the way, honestly, it can’t be that, even in Bavaria, the construction prices for a plain, unadorned standard house with 4 walls, a few small rooms, and a roof are so ridiculously high that no normal person can afford it anymore... Could it be that construction companies charge these horrendous prices due to overwork because they CAN just charge them...?
Where will this lead???
