Turnkey prefabricated houses compared

The manufacturer hands over turnkey houses ready for occupancy - without you having to pick up a brush or drill yourself. These 16 models stand for plannable building without your own labour.

Turnkey (schluesselfertig) means: the manufacturer takes on the complete build to move-in condition, sometimes including floor coverings. You save time, expertise and the risk that come with your own labour - ideal for building families without craft capacity or with a tight time budget. In this selection 16 turnkey houses are available, the largest offering in our database.

The range is wide: from the compact architect's bungalow BL 95 by Baudirekt (94 m2) to the 178 m2 city villa CityLife 700 by WeberHaus. All house types and roof shapes are represented, as well as solid and prefab construction. The fixed starting prices range from 358,600 EUR for the grant-eligible Natalie 2 by Dammann-Haus to 533,420 EUR for the Z 168 A city villa by Haas Fertigbau; four of the bungalows are calculated per project.

What turnkey really includes

The term turnkey (schluesselfertig) is not legally protected - the exact scope of services differs from manufacturer to manufacturer. As a rule it covers the complete interior fit-out to move-in condition: walls, floors, plumbing, electrics and doors. Some providers go further, such as Fingerhut Haus, which hands over the Neunkhausen including floor coverings. Always check the specific building and services description (Bau- und Leistungsbeschreibung) therefore.

Almost always the plot, the ancillary building costs, earthworks and outdoor works are not included. The floor slab or basement is also to be commissioned separately depending on the provider - Hanse Haus, for example, offers both from a single source on request. The starting price refers to the house in its basic version; special requests and upmarket features raise it.

Who turnkey building pays off for

Turnkey is the right choice when plannability and time weigh more heavily than the last euro saved. You move into a finished house on a defined date, without spending weekends and evenings on the building site. That appeals particularly to working people, families with small children and everyone without craft experience.

The price is above that of a shell house, since the manufacturer takes on all trades. In return, the risk that your own labour takes longer or that mistakes need to be fixed is eliminated. Anyone wanting to save time or money through their own labour will find cheaper alternatives among the shell houses - anyone seeking calm and planning certainty is in the right place here.

Frequently asked questions: Turnkey prefabricated houses compared

What exactly does turnkey mean?
Turnkey (schluesselfertig) means that the manufacturer builds the house to move-in condition - you contribute no labour of your own to the interior fit-out. The exact scope is not legally regulated and differs between providers. Some hand over including floor coverings, such as Fingerhut Haus with the Neunkhausen, others without. Always read the building and services description carefully therefore.
Is a turnkey house more expensive than a shell house?
Yes, because the manufacturer takes on the complete interior fit-out that you handle yourself with a shell house. In this selection turnkey houses start at 358,600 EUR, while shell houses begin as low as 134,999 EUR. The surcharge buys you time, planning certainty and the elimination of the own-labour risk. Whether that is worthwhile depends on your time budget and craft ability.
Is the plot included in the turnkey price?
No. The starting price of a turnkey house refers only to the building. The plot, ancillary building costs such as notary and real-estate transfer tax, earthworks, floor slab or basement, and the outdoor works are added. These items make up a considerable part of the overall budget. Include them in your calculation from the start.
Can I get a grant-eligible house turnkey?
Yes. The Natalie 2 by Dammann-Haus is a KfW Efficiency House 40 EE, is handed over turnkey and, at 358,600 EUR, is at the same time the cheapest turnkey house in this selection. As a grant-eligible standard it qualifies for low-interest KfW loans. This way you combine move-in-ready building with an energy-efficient standard and funding advantages.
