Accordingly, the expenses vary regardless of the material costs, because hourly wages for masters, journeymen and Helpers or apprentices are only due if they cannot find a way to do the work themselves can.
Saving the helper by doing your own handyman is an option that can save money. Other differences in the total cost for one Terrace construction result from the material from which the terrace is to be built.
A wooden terrace is cheap
If a wooden terrace is to be attached to the house, this is probably one of the cheaper options. No earth movements need to take place here to level or level the ground. the Substructure
made of wood, as well as the flooring with sturdy boards that have been treated against the effects of the weather, are also quickly assembled.Whoever owns or can obtain the appropriate tools is halfway there. Some helpers from the circle of friends and the necessary know-how, for example from home improvement forums, specialist magazines or building instructions from the Internet - which, however, should hardly completely replace the knowledge of a craftsman - are sufficient to get to work can. Wood and nails, screws and glazes for treating the wood are the only costs here.
Preparations for the terrace devour the money
Simple Concrete paving stones should be estimated at around 60 euros per square meter in the cost calculation for the new terrace. More elaborate paving with more expensive stones or
including a laid pattern can cost 250 euros per square meter.For terraces made of wood, the approximate price is around 120 euros per square meter. Here not only the pure flooring costs were taken into account, but also the average Cost of grouting, cutting the stones or wood and the substructure in its simplest form Shape. These approximate prices include craftsmen at a normal hourly rate.
However, that's not all there is to consider in terms of expenses. Rather, it is the preparations for the terrace that devour a high percentage of the total costs. Some building sites are not properly prepared to simply start laying the pavement. As a rule of thumb, the more effort has to be made, for example through rocks, soft peat soil or damp earth, the more expensive the bill for the terrace will be in the end.
After the ground has been solidified, for example with a roller, gravel or sand, seepage and an edging of the area to be paved must be taken into account. Uneven garden soil must be leveled out; the costs may be increased by the cost of Tree felling, Machine operations such as caterpillars or excavators and so on.
It is also important, for example, that the pavement or wood - if desired - have a slight slope leading away from the house. If this is not taken into account, the rainwater runs towards the house and wets the wall or remains - if the flooring is laid absolutely level - it will stand and damage joints or that Wood. This minimal gradient must be taken into account when planning. However, this only means additional costs if the DIY enthusiast does not dare to do the work himself.
Planning costs may also apply for terraces
If the customer commissions a company to build a terrace, planning costs are also incurred. As expected, these vary in height and depend on the details that have to be taken into account. For normal sized terraces without a lot of effort, the planning fee amounts to 300 to 400 euros.
With every detail that beautifies the terrace, so do the planning fees. Are differences in height to be overcome or many stairs integrated, or is a multi-level terrace included, for example Rock garden If you wish to install a system, the planning costs should be set at EUR 700 or more.
