Compare prefab house prices by building design
Every house type comes at its own price: the per-square-metre cost of a compact bungalow and a town villa are worlds apart. Here we sort each building design by its cost range – so you can see at a glance which concept your budget can realistically support.
Why the building design shapes the price so strongly
Alongside living space and specification, the building design itself is the biggest cost driver. A factory-prefabricated prefab house (Fertighaus) can be planned as a single-family home, town villa, semi-detached house or a single-storey bungalow – and this is exactly where the price differences come from: a bungalow spreads roof and base slab over a larger footprint and therefore costs noticeably more per square metre than a two-storey house. For a turnkey property, budget roughly €2,000 to €3,500/m², with a turnkey house (schlüsselfertiges Haus) at the upper end and a shell-finish house (Ausbauhaus) at around €1,300/m² as the entry point.
We show you exactly how building design, living space and energy standard translate into euros in our guide What does a prefab house cost? – and you will find the matching manufacturer price overviews in the Prefab House Catalogue 2026.
