Prefabricated house planning semi-detached house with budget limit

I always "hide" a buffer in this estimate. Building a house often brings unexpected costs to the table


Construction expert on the go

It's rather 2m!

So that you get realistic size proportions, a quick draft.

Basement with

[*]Living/Dining/Cooking
[*]Utility room
[*]Storage room
[*]Stairs going up

Ground floor with

[*]Entrance/Hall separated from stairs
[*]Child 1 and 2
[*]Bathroom

Attic with (floor area and calculated living area indicated here)

[*]Parents
[*]small guest room
[*]Bathroom
[*]Storage space for suitcases etc. Height almost everywhere under 2 m

Total areas:


Possible floor plans:


Elevations and section:


Which of the windows on the east side could actually be realized would depend on the other semi-detached house half.

However, I see costs similarly to the many experts here. Because, I think, for a reasonable positioning of the house, a lot of earthworks is also necessary with a total height difference of 200 cm.

I don’t know what you based the 130 sqm on either ... without basement? That simply won’t add up with the exterior dimensions, as you can nicely see here.

So dear people, thank you for your time and effort. I think I understood it...
I browsed through all kinds of threads in the forum again yesterday and today... It’s basically always the same:
Yes, building a house here and so on... 300k€ budget... Forum like: Nah, better not.

I read that many people feel the same way I do... Therefore, a big thank you to you for kindly answering my x-th request on the same topic!

Your requirements unfortunately cannot be realized within your cost limit.

... For that, you get a hunting lodge.... [...]
If you have already read a lot here, then I don’t quite understand how one can be so naive.

The forum is very extensive, he can read for quite a while until a naive person notices something like that.

[...] all in estimated investment: TEUR 495

I suspect that a condominium would be the smarter decision with the desired budget

We have been searching for the condominium and the used house for a while now. The condominium is also the first choice. We came across the plot more by chance: suddenly, a huge waiting list vanished into thin air and we got the opportunity. One possible reason for the sudden dissolution of this long list now comes to my mind.

I wonder who can spend so much money on a house and how some magicians can supposedly get by with 1100€/m².

[...] Staircase ... so everyone walks through the living area first (how do you want to arrange a sofa etc. there?) to get to the upper floor.

Yes, the idea was a neat apartment with a "communicative," central living area.

The staircase will also fail because the clearance height below the landing will probably be too tight.

Which you are absolutely right about.

Here is a quick design to give you realistic size proportions.

Thanks, I really like your idea! I saw something similar in a single-family house during a viewing and have to say that it stayed so well in my/our memory that we still talk about it today.

I’ll be going now... Thanks and goodbye!

So dear people, thanks for your time and effort. I think I got it...
I browsed through all kinds of threads in the forum again yesterday and today... It's basically always the same:
Yeah, building a house here and so on... 300k€ budget... Forum like: Nope, forget it.

The joke is that the people are quite right. You either calculate it nicely or simply forget quite a few important items. We started with 250,000€ total costs starting from a 30,000€ plot. That would have been very cheap with a lot of love. Gradually, we then ended up at 330,000€ total including 63,000€ for the plot (excluding additional costs).
During the construction phase, we ended up at 340,000€ because of 2 "small things" (groundwork).
When the house was finally standing, there was only 25,000€ more for the driveway and carport and a bit of small stuff like paint etc.
So we are now at 365,000€ for a 125 sqm house WITHOUT a basement on a flat plot. Until the outdoor area is finished, another 5-8,000€ will easily go on it.

So I consider 500,000€ by Bauexperte also massively exaggerated rounded up. But for 300,000€ including plot, I see it as very unlikely. Without the plot, 300,000€ might work with your own work.
