Don't start from zero: build your estimate from real, settled reference projects — or from your own completed budgets. €/m² by region, number of units and building standard, broken down into DIN 276 cost groups, and shared with everyone involved.

The calculator estimates construction costs for projects in Germany, using German reference data and the German cost standard. If DIN 276 is new to you, our guide to DIN 276 explains the eight cost groups in English, with mappings to Uniformat, MasterFormat and ICMS. The application interface and the intake form are currently in German.
The same calculator, the same data — two ways in.
The DIN 276 budget of an earlier project becomes the calculation for the next one: adjust benchmarks, add cost lines, compare variants. Share the finished budget with the owner, the bank and your partners — who read it in the same format and can respond with scenarios of their own.
Start with a sample projectPlanning an apartment building in Germany? In a few minutes you get a free cost estimate based on real reference projects — by region, number of units and building standard, as a complete DIN 276 cost structure you can save and keep working on. More than 5,000 owners and planners have already run over 6,000 free estimates.
To the free estimateEvery calculation starts with a real project — and ends in a document everyone involved can work with.
A real, settled reference project as your starting point — from a four-unit terraced house to 30+ apartments. Or one of your own earlier projects as the template.
Region (postal code), number of units, areas, standard, construction start — every change recalculates immediately. Add, split and rename cost lines; run variants side by side.
Everyone involved sees the budget in the same format and can reply with their own scenarios — sharing is free. For the bank and the owner: PDF export with your logo.
Project managers, developers and architecture back-offices don't need a ballpark figure. They need a cost structure that survives scrutiny.
Cost groups 100–700 in full — the structure German banks, owners and specialist planners calculate in. Our DIN 276 guide explains what each number means, in English.
Benchmarks from settled construction projects — not from catalog tables. And with an organization: your own projects as references.
Regional factor by postal code and price development up to the planned construction start — the calculation reflects today, not last year.
A cleanly typeset calculation as a PDF — ready for the bank, the owner, or an acquisition decision.
Your logo on every document — and, if you want it, the calculator on your own website under your own brand.
The estimate becomes the budget, the budget becomes live construction cost controlling — and completed projects become the reference for the next calculation. One platform.
The standard calculation is free — in full DIN 276 depth, with unlimited saving. You only pay for what makes the calculation yours: your own structure, your own references, PDF export. Without a subscription as a 30-day pass — or as an annual membership for the whole organization.
All prices net, plus statutory VAT.
Each building type gets its own reference projects and benchmarks. The apartment building comes first.
From a four-unit terraced house to 30+ apartments with underground parking — construction costs by region, number of units and standard.
To the apartment building calculatorProduction and logistics halls: construction costs per m² by construction method, span and fit-out standard.
Construction costs for office buildings per m² of gross floor area — by standard, level of building services and region.
Reference projects and the construction price index in professional collaboration with Stadtblick Architekten. Every reference project was really planned and really settled — the benchmarks come from the building site, not from a table.
