What are the approximate total costs of a simple house?

Well, quite certain because I get a quote from the companies. In the end, I still have to have a buffer on the high side. For example, I thought a small sewage treatment plant would cost around 12,000-15,000. In the end, it was only 8,500€. But I completely misjudged the heating system at first...

So, I have thought for a long time about whether I should respond once again in this forum! Most people here in my thread seem to me to be more than just unfriendly. I am certainly not a special education student of class L, but an entrepreneur of a small company. Just so you know. What do you want to hear? Money doesn’t matter? Of course, I have also set a price limit for the house. Should I make the prices of the offers available to you publicly now? Do you want that? I can gladly do it! Just to bring you back down to earth once again and to make the tone in this thread a bit more normal. I asked a normal question and expect a normal answer.

The offer for the house including assembly amounts to €165,000 including VAT. Included in that is only the kit, insulation, roofing, and assembly.

The bathroom is so cheap because we have a craftsman in the family who takes over these tasks completely. Mostly free of charge, ...

Good morning!

This year I would like to build my first house. Currently, we already have a family home from a family transfer. However, it is somewhat older and has many defects despite extensive renovation. Due to the fact that I am still relatively young (mid-30s) and energy prices keep rising, I want to live independently and energy-efficiently. I would like a wooden house from the company "Thule-Blockhaus." At the moment I am gathering information about the individual prices so that I can inform the bank about the amount of financing. So far it looks like this:

- House kit (140 sqm, KFW55 standard): €130,000 (+ €30,000 for assembly)
- Building services (new electrical installation, heat pump heating): approx. €30,000
- Small sewage treatment plant: €8,500 incl. infiltration
- Land purchase price (1,100 sqm): €23,000 (developed)
- Concrete slab incl. earthworks: approx. €25,000

So far that makes €246,500! My budget limit is €300,000! Now I am still missing the costs for the notary, land register entries and possible insurances and small items. I am from Lower Saxony, the real estate transfer tax here is 5%. Does this only apply to the €130,000 for the kit or also to the €30,000 for assembly? Because according to the offer this is billed separately or is an optional extra.

Thank you for your effort!

We are currently close to finishing our construction phase (screed from 11.04.) and since we have meanwhile fired our planner, I had to manage the construction organization myself (in consultation with the site manager). We have awarded many individual trades, which is why I have often obtained several offers in our northern Hesse region and therefore at least know the prices here.

Your initial post fills me with deep concern and you seem to completely underestimate or miscalculate.

Your initial post fills me with deep concern and you seem to completely underestimate or miscalculate.

Here are some trades that you completely underestimate:

Additional construction costs:
- Soil survey 1,500 EUR
- Surveying 2,000 EUR
- Development: Electrical 4,000 EUR / Water 5,000 EUR / Telecom 1,000 EUR

- Heat pump with underfloor heating approx. 33,000 EUR
- Sanitary rough installation approx. 11,000 EUR
- Heat pump = ventilation system = costs of min. 8,000 EUR (decentralized) / 14,000 EUR (centralized)
- Electrical work without extras min. 21,000 EUR
- Foundation slab 15,000 - 20,000 EUR (incl. earthworks!!), although another 2-3,000 could be added here...
- Earthworks and disposal and procurement 15,000 EUR
- Kitchen from the kitchen manufacturer 12,500 EUR upwards
- Flooring parquet / vinyl: 70€ per m2 including laying at a "decent" standard
- Tiler - very, very expensive at the moment - pure laying of tiles in non-wet rooms including baseboard approx. 80 EUR per m2
- Tiles in wet rooms for walk-in showers and with a splash protection in front of fixtures and bathtub 250 EUR per m2 in our case (The tiles are not expensive, the sealing causes the price)

Roughly estimated, you have underestimated by at least 100,000 EUR. You can then add another 10 percent of the construction sum for unforeseeable expenses and especially upgrades!

The above gross prices largely correspond to our contracts, which were often among the cheaper ones regionally.

You really forget many details in your bathrooms, especially some reasonably nice amateurs cost - even at Ikea - 1200 EUR per bathroom.

Greetings!

Thanks for your feedback. Of course, I have also made some progress in the past weeks and have found that prices vary greatly by region. Therefore, here are the final cost estimates from the companies:

- Log cabin kit including roof, insulation, assembly, structural engineering, plans, etc. (€135,000)
- Land purchase (€34/sqm) €27,000 (+ soil survey, surveying, development: €8,000)
- Thermal ground slab including underfloor heating: €23,000
- House electrics: €18,500
- Bathroom and heat pump: €25,000

The Telekom line in your calculation costs us only €350, for example. The water pipes up to the house are also only €1,340. All inquired from the local water supplier. But: If you look in Bremen or Cologne, you easily pay 3-4 times as much!!
