Very helpful and informative texts. Thanks again!
By the way: more precise estimates also do not help to reduce the currently high construction costs. These are simply the current framework conditions. I would listen to myself to see if I need a fixed price to feel comfortable. If so, I would tend more towards the general contractor...
Theoretically, I don't need a fixed price and from what I have heard so far, no one from our circle of acquaintances has received a real fixed price. The costs were always higher because many things still had to be done on site or other inconveniences arose.
For us, it is more about being able to estimate what we can/want to finance at first. For this, the estimate is sufficient. But if I read +/- 50k, that's bad for financing.
Depending on the rate and scope of the eligible construction costs, the item is often around 50k +/-.
Now I have to get a bit more off-topic here... I would have estimated the costs for the architect for a single-family house at 400k (excluding garden, etc., but turnkey including architect) to be lower.
