Quick answer
A prefabricated bungalow costs around €230,000 (80 m²) to €520,000 (180 m²) turnkey in 2026, excluding the plot. Per square metre, a bungalow costs 5 to 15 percent more than a two-storey detached house because its slab and roof cover a larger area. It is the most popular house type for accessible, age-friendly living, with every room on one level and no stairs. The local development plan must permit single-storey construction, and a larger plot of 600 to 1,000 m² is usually required.
Bungalow: an overview
The Bungalow is one of Germany's most popular house types. Prefabrication brings out its strengths: a precisely predictable schedule, clearly defined costs and a high energy standard that readily meets the strict requirements for KfW support in 2026.
Industrial production in weather-protected factories enables wall and floor elements to be made with great precision. On site, the shell is generally erected and weatherproof within one to three days.
Advantages
- Very short, predictable build time
- High energy efficiency as standard in 2026
- Manufacturer's fixed-price guarantee
- Individual planning within a system-built home
Disadvantages
