+
+The costs of an informal care dwelling **vary widely**. The total price depends mainly on the size, level of finish, and whether you want a turnkey delivery (including foundation, transport, and utility connections) or only the basic unit.
+
+### Purchase price of the dwelling (indication)
+
+The cost of the unit itself depends strongly on the type and execution:
+
+* **Compact prefab models:** Prices start at approximately **€30,000 to €50,000**. This often excludes foundation, transport, and connections.
+* **Complete prefab dwellings:** Most turnkey informal care dwellings fall between **€50,000 and €150,000**.
+* **High-end and custom builds:** Fully custom dwellings or very high-quality finishes can exceed **€150,000**.
+
+On average, you can calculate a guideline of **€2,000 to €4,500 per m²**.  For a complete 50 m² dwelling, this means a minimum investment of at least €100,000, often more once additional costs are included.

+
+### What is usually included in the base price?
+
+When comparing quotations, it is crucial to understand what the “base price” includes. Typically, the base price contains:
+
+* The structural shell including walls, roof, floor, and insulation  
+* Standard finishing of interior walls and flooring  
+* Basic installations for electricity and heating  
+* A simple kitchen and bathroom (note: this may be an additional cost with some suppliers)
+
+**Important:** Always check whether prices are **including or excluding VAT**. Some suppliers list a low entry price for the unit, while others quote a complete turnkey price.
+
+### Additional on-site costs
+
+Besides purchasing the unit itself, there are usually extra costs on the location:
+
+#### Foundation and substructure
+* **Price indication:** €3,500 – €15,000  
+* Depending on soil conditions and the chosen system (screw piles, concrete footings, or a concrete slab).
+
+#### Utility connections
+* **Price indication:** €3,000 – €7,000  
+* Costs for connecting water, electricity, gas (if applicable), and sewerage. Strongly dependent on the distance to existing connections and site accessibility.
+
+#### Transport and crane work
+* **Price indication:** €3,000 – €7,000  
+* Transport by low-loader and crane placement of the dwelling. Prices increase with distance or difficult locations.
+
+#### Placement and assembly
+* **Price indication:** from €3,900  
+* Final assembly and finishing on site. Sometimes this is included in the supplier’s transport package.
+
+Some suppliers offer total prices including transport, placement, and utility connections. In that case, complete informal care dwellings are often quoted between **€80,000 and €130,000**, depending on size and specifications.

+
+### Advice, permits, and financing
+
+In addition to construction costs, you should consider expenses for advice and procedures:
+
+* **Municipal fees (leges)** [^1]:  
+  Costs for processing a potential **environmental permit** application.
+* **Drawings and advisory services:**  
+  Costs for structural calculations, architectural advice, legal or **tax advice** [^2] on matters such as land lease, financing, and ownership.
+
+These costs range from a few hundred to several thousand euros depending on complexity and custom requirements.
+
+### Interior and care-specific adjustments
+
+After construction, additional costs may arise for interior work and care adjustments:
+
+* **Interior:** Flooring, window coverings, lighting, and furniture  
+* **Care adjustments:** Modifications such as an adapted bathroom, wider doors, level floors, **domotics and alarm systems** [^3]
+
+For intensive care situations, extra adjustments can easily fall between **€5,000 and €20,000**, depending on equipment and requirements.
+
+### Differences and creating a realistic budget
+
+The amounts mentioned are **market averages**, not fixed rates. Total costs can vary based on:
+
+* **Local regulations** and any **permit requirements**  
+* Accessibility of **your** property, foundation needs, or fire-safety rules  
+* Choices for custom builds, sustainable installations, and additional options
+
+For a realistic budget, it is essential to request **multiple quotations** and **consult your municipality in advance** about local conditions.
