What Affects the Price?
The cost of a modular timber home depends on several key factors:
1. Size and Module Count
Floor area is the primary cost driver. A compact 50 m² home costs significantly less than a 120 m² family house. However, price per square meter typically decreases with size.
Typical Price Ranges by Size
- Compact (35-55 m²): €45,000 – €95,000
- Medium (60-90 m²): €85,000 – €170,000
- Large (100-150 m²): €150,000 – €300,000
2. Finish Level
The chosen finish level significantly impacts the final price:
| Finish Level | Price per m² | What's Included? |
|---|---|---|
| Shell | €1,200 – €1,600 | Exterior complete, ready for interior fit-out |
| Turnkey | €1,800 – €2,400 | Move-in ready, standard finishes |
| Premium | €2,400 – €3,200 | High-end materials, smart home features |
3. Location and Transport
Distance to the factory and site accessibility affect delivery costs. Budget €5,000 – €15,000 for transport and crane positioning.
4. Foundation
Foundation is NOT included in the house price and must be budgeted separately:
- Point foundations: €8,000 – €15,000
- Strip foundations: €15,000 – €25,000
- Concrete slab: €20,000 – €40,000
What's Typically NOT Included?
These costs are often underestimated:
- Land purchase
- Foundation / groundwork
- Site connections (water, electricity, sewer)
- Building permits and planning
- Outdoor areas (terrace, landscaping)
- Kitchen appliances and furniture
Realistic Budget Planning
For realistic budgeting, add 20-30% for additional costs to the house price. A turnkey 80 m² home priced at €160,000 will likely cost €195,000 – €210,000 including all extras (excluding land).
