Hello everyone,
after weeks of reading along, the time has come; my first post:
Recently we had our first architect appointment for the following construction project:
Single-family house approx. 170 sqm living space with basement + garage (approx. 40 sqm)
Timber frame construction (KFW70)
Relatively open design; without bay window, so cubic; possibly a city villa
Probably 2 stories on basement
Flat plot
Simple foundation (at least for neighboring plots; topsoil + clay; easily accessible)
Construction start 2014
Rhineland-Palatinate
Fully developed plot is already available.
First cost estimate from our architect (excluding plot):
Approx. 390,000 EUR turnkey including ancillary costs (incl. VAT)
Equipment (good standard):
Ventilation system
Geothermal heat pump (incl. drilling)
Sun protection
Chimney (without fireplace)
Including outdoor area (calculated at approx. 20,000 EUR)
Including ancillary costs (architect, performance phases 1-9; structural analysis, surveying, house connections, surveying, building application, etc.)
Not included in the calculation:
Kitchen, fireplace, furnishings, lighting, etc. (here I calculate approx. 40,000 EUR)
Is the calculation realistic so far?
Looking forward to your comments.
So far we have a good gut feeling about the architect.
Financially, this would be manageable.
What contingency should one plan for in the financing of such a construction sum?
Regards, neo
