Construction Cost Breakdown
69.3% of all Builders Exceed Their Budget!
With the POCASIO construction cost statement, you can see at any time which expenses have already been incurred and which are still pending. This allows you to take countermeasures in good time before expensive refinancing becomes necessary.
This is how Quickly Construction Costs get out of Hand – without You Noticing!
After the sixth or seventh partial invoice at the latest, many builders completely lose track. You no longer know exactly what has already been paid, which invoices are still to come and how high the outstanding items really are. This makes it almost impossible to react in time and reduce the scope of services or plan for own contributions before it becomes too expensive.
Almost 400 builders from Germany who have already completed their construction project took part in our survey. The result: budget overruns and expensive refinancing are not the exception, but the rule! Anyone who has clear figures from the start can avoid these pitfalls.
69.3% exceed their planned budget
Most builders underestimate additional costs such as supplements, special requests or ancillary construction costs and end up significantly above their original budget.
Every fifth person has to refinance expensively
Inadequate planning, a lack of overview and rising costs often lead to loans having to be increased subsequently – with high interest rates and additional burdens.
average additional costs of €57,600
Our survey shows: On average, additional costs equivalent to a mid-range car are incurred – a sum that catches many builders off guard and, in the worst case, leads to a standstill.So that You Can React before It’s Too Late!
When building a house, it is crucial to recognize early on when costs are getting out of hand or the scope of services needs to be adjusted. Only with a clear overview can you react in time and revise services, delete items or take on individual work yourself. POCASIO gives you this transparency and shows you at any time where you stand financially. This allows you to stay in control before the third deviation leads to major problems.
Recognize Additional Costs before They Arise
What does my house really cost and where am I right now? With POCASIO, you can easily enter your planned costs and later add the real amounts from offers or invoices. The system immediately shows you where you are over budget or have even saved money.
So that you are not unpleasantly surprised, but prepared.
Record (Partial) Payments and Keep Track
As soon as the first partial invoices arrive, things quickly become confusing. With POCASIO, you can record each payment individually – whether it’s a down payment, installment
or final invoice. The system calculates for you and shows you exactly how much you have already paid and what is still outstanding.
So that you still know where you stand even after the seventh invoice.
Always Know Exactly how much Budget is Left
With each new invoice, it becomes more important to know how much budget you have left. POCASIO calculates all entered costs and payments against your total budget – whether equity, bank loan or subsidy. You can see early on whether you are still within budget or should take countermeasures.
So that you know what you can still afford – before it’s too late.
