: I was just wondering that too.
As for the cost estimate, I can only tell you from my own amateur experience. I think most things might be roughly in the ballpark (without guarantee ), but a few things stood out to me:
1. What is meant by the €3,000 for the item roof terrace/garage/railing/tiles/outdoor stairs? What is that supposed to be?
2. I find the surveyor costs very optimistic. Just for comparison: We paid about €1,000 for the surveyor for rough/fine surveying and cadastral surveying (mandatory for us) plus another €650 for the creation of the site plan for the building application.
3. Speaking of which: What about the costs for the building permit? Money the city wants, e.g. waiver of the pre-emption right or allocation of the house number etc. (e.g. in new development areas?)
4. Costs for soil investigation? Heat load calculation? That's quickly another thousand gone.
5. What about earthworks?
Regarding the floor plan, I can and don’t want to say anything, there are professionals for that and some things are subjective anyway. Otherwise, I also think you are a bit quick and already getting lost in details. As long as you don’t have a plot yet, your planning is worth almost nothing. Having a rough idea of what the house might look like is okay, but the rest results from the plot. The house must be adapted to your plot and often there is a development plan that you have to follow. In the end, you start again at zero because with your "dream plot" you simply might not be allowed to build exactly what you might want now or because the orientation of the plot makes another distribution more sensible. Take care of a plot first and then go to a professional - architect or good general contractor.
