Hello,
My predecessor has already named the crucial steps to you. With a budget of €240,000, the calculation is as follows:
Budget €240,000 - plot €45,000 - incidental construction costs (additional costs) - trade tax, notary, house connections etc. - €30,000 remain €165,000 for the house.
I recently had a comparable house – but with a significantly low-maintenance glass front – calculated (see attachment). If I scale the living area (LA) down to the living area you want, I arrive at a value of €156,000 for a KfW 70 efficiency house including the foundation slab and turnkey completion. Deducting reasonable own work **(OW), I reach about €146,000. A basement – by the way, in the cost range as described by Baulinie – I don’t even consider with your budget. The favored window element also does not fit into your total budget.
The idea itself is reasonable under the given circumstances, provided you actually use the storage room as a storage room. If you want to use the rear area of the garage as a house connection room (HAR), you will incur higher connection costs for gas, water, and electricity; thus the above incidental costs increase by an estimated €5,000-8,000; rather not recommended. Sensibly, an HAR should be planned in the shortest line to the supply lines.
A word on the often expressed "shell construction". A shell construction usually consists of a refined shell – building envelope, exterior plaster or clinker brick, complete roof, and the trades of windows including front door. For the interior finishing, specialists need between 3 and 4 months depending on drying times. You should therefore first answer the question, do I even have the time for this and next: do I have the necessary expertise to carry out the interior trades. By the way, you need a master craftsman in the trades of electrical and sanitary to accept your work and stand responsible with the utility provider. If you contract out individual trades, for example the last mentioned, to professional hands, you should be able to create execution plans in order to compare the offers; otherwise, your wish to save costs will quickly disappear.
All in all, it is rarely the most cost-effective option to convert a shell construction into a turnkey single-family house; certainly not if you are going solo. I know several families who have reached the limits of their "marriage capability" and beyond with such a project. You should consider all of this carefully and think about whether "less" might not actually be "more" in your case; the double burden should not be underestimated!
**This concerns – according to my personal experience – painting work and floor coverings of course, as well as tiling work and thus the interior window sills, interior doors, and sanitary final installation. In rare exceptions, also drywall work – but the builder has to invest the additional time required for this; the not to be underestimated exterior facilities also still await completion.
Kind regards
the price limit including the plot is max. €240,000. The house should be built in 47551 Bedburg-Hau or the surrounding area on a plot of approx. 450m² - 550 m². The house is simply too big for us, it should also be
still have a basement

Or you prefer, if the plot allows it, to forego a basement, enlarge the house or possibly an outbuilding (garage) by a technical room/storage room
