When building my house, everything was somehow in the four figures... the additional costs, mind you :rolleyes:

For me, there were no extra costs. Everything was flat-rate.

When my contractor, who did the shell construction, came with additional costs, I just smiled wearily.

Then the flat rate definitely already included the risk surcharge ;)

Of course, static calculations are a complex field for which we ultimately will pay accordingly. But this is not yet about the static calculation of a single-family house, rather only about a trained eye and thus a rough assessment. I do not expect a structural engineer to spend half a day on this and already calculate some examples. The architects & structural engineers (timber construction) we visited gave the impression that one can read that off in 2 minutes. If it doesn't go that fast, then sorry that I asked again here.

The claim increases during the interior construction :) .... it's not all just a lump-sum taste ;)

Given the prices and the whining afterwards, probably not. That was a few years ago, probably not possible anymore today.
