I'll put it this way: He could have answered this question several times already if he wanted to. Maybe it’s better not to overwhelm him with reality. I don’t have to answer either if the OP doesn’t want me to.

The mentioned "Lichthaus" is actually about Town & Country! This is not a prefab house, but a solid house, and the foundation slab is indeed included in the price. Nevertheless, your designation as a "prefab house" clearly shows that you have not dealt nearly enough with the subject. Many additional costs and pitfalls have already been mentioned here. I built with Town & Country about 7 years ago. At that time, despite relatively few special wishes, we were about €60-70k above the base price for our location (which was higher than the "starting from" price of the advertisement). Meanwhile, some things are included in the base price that were extra charges for us, but the base price in that location is about €115k higher than it was then, and even today you will certainly have to add a considerable amount.

That as an answer to my question "why prefabricated house" tells me that apparently many uncertainties and misconceptions still exist. A "prefabricated" house is a Town & Country Lichthaus 152 all the more not — neither in the sense of "prefabricated" house = factory-made house (mostly on wooden frame panels), nor in the sense of move-in ready / "turnkey" or "complete package." It is "stone by stone" site-built, and according to its "economy" price category clearly "incomplete" and requires significant involvement. That means much more is demanded from you than just choosing colors and conveniently handing your credit card to the waiter at the end. You must provide (or have provided) numerous additional services and deliveries yourself or through other contractors and organize and take responsibility for the timely coordination of this process. In connection with the word "uncomplicated," this would be a cause for laughs on an American sitcom laugh track.

The "from" prices are understood as price indications not for the "finished" house but for its contractually agreed scope of services and deliveries — which for this provider already corresponds to a medium shell construction stage — based on the construction location with the lowest "local surcharge" (which is highest in the Allgäu, on the Halligen, and in some other corners as well as in places with expensive worker hotels). In other words: "this is how cheap we are under the best conditions" — not "already if your list of special requests is short." So almost like the "saver fares" on the train — from which it would also be misleading to conclude that the kilometer price is actually just above what it would cost to bike yourself there.

170 sqm would also be quite generous for a normal family — you need that if the sum of children and home offices equals "5."

Just to clarify, the elephant is probably exaggerating on purpose. 170 sqm would be very tight for a family of seven.

Just to clarify: sum of 3 children and 2 x home office, so a total of "5 officers" make the mentioned 5.

The 11ant certainly deliberately recalls the reality (which is undoubtedly valid for people who can afford a 300k house price for a home): in this reality, Town & Country also offers the bestseller "Flair", which provides 113 sqm or 110 sqm without the dormer for a 2E2K normal family. Plus three additional KGB rooms of 20 sqm each (15 sqm rooms plus communal area surcharge) are, according to Eva Zwerg, 170 sqm. As long as the milkman Tevje can only sing about wealth in the subjunctive, it is the case that the Flair is the more plausible benchmark than the Lichthaus. There is also a space miracle 90 – and even then, the child's welfare is not immediately endangered if you have to make do with it.
