Overview of cost-effective building styles

I will now discuss our project with the local construction company with which we built our multi-generation house 6 years ago. If no feasible solution can be found here, there is always the option of going to the prefabricated house providers, right?

What do you think about that?

Since we will presumably be building in the immediate vicinity, I can almost assure you that budget and requirements unfortunately do not match.

If no feasible solution can be found here, there is always the option of going to the prefab house providers, right? What do you think about that?

Prefab house provider just means "only" that the construction method of the single-family house is different. So if you want to achieve a quality comparable to a solid house, the prices of the prefab house colleagues are also to be set comparably; depending on the provider even more expensive. The cheap providers, in this segment you probably - at least I believe - really don't want. Apart from the fact that at the end of the day - when you have had your equipment requests priced in - they are more expensive than most other conventional providers as well as prefab house providers.

Where does this unrestrained desire come from to absolutely want to realize a new build, when it should already be clear from the answers here in the forum that it is - if at all - only possible with enormous risks? What speaks against a good used property?

: Who says that used properties are cheaper??? We were looking for years in our area and good or reasonably decent used properties were more expensive than our current new build!!!

What do you mean by scapegoat, somehow here one is in the role of the clarifier
A flat roof costs, a double garage costs, a single-family house costs.
Luxury costs! And the normal standard costs. Why are there sometimes no double garages in front of the houses? Why is it "only" the Flair 113 house with such square meters?
If you already have the feeling that it is tight... 30,000 equity capital is not much after all... and if you read up a bit, you can quickly recognize your own limits. And that is not bad at all. Then you just save a few more years, look for a used property, or set the standard a bit lower.

However:

Should there be no feasible solution here, there is always the option of going to the prefab house providers, right?

The cheap providers, in this segment you - I believe anyway - don't really want.

Every regular user of this forum knows what the OP means by that, namely a cheap build. The clueless think that "these prefab houses" (whatever that is supposed to mean) are cheap(er). In a pinch, it will just be such a "prefab/cheap house".
Is that the alternative? I think that you can also be happy with a used property or a townhouse if the apartment threatens to burst or the rent becomes more expensive than a house payment.

: Who says that used properties are cheaper???

Where did I write that?

It is actually about the fact that the original poster cannot afford a new build under his posted conditions. Of course, he can afford an old building; maybe not in the desired location and certainly not in the condition he wants; probably not even in the desired size. That, once he has finished the renovation, in the end it is not necessarily cheaper than a comparable new build, should also be sufficiently clear. BUT - he is out of his current living situation, which is probably the stated goal. AND - he can start the renovation (he does not have to buy the worst place) from his income and holiday/Christmas bonuses. It takes time, no question - but he is in his own four walls.

If he sets out to look for an existing building, I prefer that any day rather than him throwing himself into the incalculable risk of a new build and thereby possibly enriching the private TV shows

Ok, then I misunderstood that. But I think you might as well lower your expectations and rebuild at the price you can afford.

@Alex: What you are planning is absolutely unrealistic! We did A LOT ourselves and still did not come close to your desired amount for a long time!
