The cost of building a house is influenced by several stages of construction, such as the cost of the building permit, the amenities you want, and the type and quality of materials you choose.<\/p>\n
Therefore, we will examine everything that can affect the cost of building a house and the stages required to create your dream space.<\/p>\n
What is the cost of building a house?<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
In recent years, building a house has become a more complex process. Specifically, certain specifications related to energy efficiency have become stricter. Examples include energy insulation, the installation of heat pumps, and the requirement for a high energy rating. As a result, the initial construction cost has risen. Even the simplest construction can cost more than 1,400 euros per square meter.<\/p>\n
At the same time, the prices of construction materials have also increased. Specifically, in October 2022, the General Index of Construction Material Prices for New Residential Buildings increased by 11.8% compared to October 2021. According to ELSTAT, similar increases were observed for the same period in:<\/p>\n
\n
Bricks: 28.3%<\/li>\n
Parquet flooring: 17.1%<\/li>\n
Reinforced steel: 16.8%<\/li>\n
Garage doors: 15.1%<\/li>\n
Construction timber: 13.1%<\/li>\n
Ready-mix concrete: 11.2%<\/li>\n
Wooden wardrobes: 10.8%<\/li>\n
Tiles (floor and wall): 10.3%<\/li>\n
Built-in cabinets: 10.1%<\/li>\n
Aluminum frames: 9.3%<\/li>\n
Interior doors: 9.1%<\/li>\n
Cement: 7.7%<\/li>\n
Radiators: 6.4%<\/li>\n
Copper pipes: 4.2%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
It\u2019s easy to conclude that the cost per square meter to build a house is not fixed. Indicatively, a 100-square-meter house costs around 150,000 euros + VAT. This cost fluctuates depending on the location and materials used. To be certain about the amount to be spent, you should consult professionals who can provide accurate estimates and offer suitable prices.<\/p>\n
