Roller shutters in new construction

Hello everyone,

we are slowly entering the final phase and hopefully will start construction within the next four weeks.

We have a great general contractor, but we feel that he is poorly positioned in the area of roller shutters.

He estimates 1000€ per electric roller shutter (no central control, simple open/close switch).

Now we would like to get an independent offer. Are there any references/recommendations here in the forum from the Hamburg/Lübeck area by any chance?

What should we realistically expect per electric roller shutter:

Terrace element 200x220
Window 150x130
Window 60x110

And what is the approximate additional cost if we choose a timer switch instead of a normal switch?

Many thanks for your help!!

Regards Kai

Wow, that is quite a statement. Actually, for the standard, you only need a motor costing 100-150€ depending on the size of the window plus installation and an electric supply line to the motor plus a line to the switch for up and down. Our Gu charges 2700€ for 10 roller shutters just as a reference. But we do the whole thing in [EL].

Surcharge or from 0 to 100? Viebrockhaus charged 720 € back then for 2mx2m - I believe from 0 to 100. The surcharge was 390 € for us (but rather expensive) - a building expert once mentioned something about a 320 € surcharge.

Surcharge for electric drives of the existing roller shutters, individual control, 440 euros/window in our case.

Per electric roller shutter (no central control, simple open/close switch) he calculated 1000€.

Does the window already have a roller shutter or is that included in the 1000 euros?

The 1000€ refers in our case to the total price per unit - including roller shutter, motor, switch, cable, installation.

From an offer:

Electrically operated roller shutters (with an anti-lift device as burglary protection) for the windows marked in the drawing, consisting of:

- Roller shutter slats (unless otherwise described made of plastic), color according to sampling
- Roller shutter box
- Roller shutter motor
- Roller shutter guide rail

For windows or patio doors with an opening width > 1.76 m, the roller shutter slats are made of aluminum profiles for structural reasons.
This appearance does not correspond to that of the plastic slats.
Operation is via a standard roller shutter switch
