So, how much does a straw bale house cost?

The answer can of course only be given vaguely, without knowing the exact plan. But the good news is: not much more or less than any other well-insulated (single-family) house. Those who initially calculate with around 2,400 €/m2 incl. soft costs (consultation, planning, energy certificate, submission, foreman) will probably be happy in the end that it has become a little cheaper than expected. Especially if help is given and some work is done with workshops. Furthermore: The bigger the house, the lower the price per m2. On the other hand: fully equipped Tiny-Houses probably cannot be built at this price, depending on the technology and equipment (heating, installations, WC, electricity, kitchen, …) – higher costs have to be expected.
