Guide: construction cost per m² in 2026 →

How is the price calculated?

The calculator uses the trade-by-trade costs of the Rivabatis France report (materials and labour), applies a regional factor to direct costs, adds studies, management and insurance, then 20% VAT. The range shown is ±5%.

Is land included?

No: land, public utility connections and planning taxes are separate budgets.

Turnkey vs weather-tight shell?

Weather-tight shell covers foundations, structure, roof and external joinery; turnkey adds all building services and finishes.
