How much does it cost to build a house in Poland in 2025? 🏠

Current house construction costs: a market overview

Building a house of one’s own is still a dream for many Poles and foreign investors interested in the Polish real estate market. However, in an era of rising costs of materials, energy and labor, it is worth carefully analyzing how much it really costs to put up a house from scratch in 2025.

According to data published by Sekocenbud and cited by Bankier.pl, building a square meter of a house in Poland costs an average of PLN 5,550 to PLN 6,000 gross, depending on the province. In Warsaw, the level of PLN 6,200 per square meter has already been exceeded.

What does the cost of building a house depend on?

The price per m² of the house can vary significantly depending on:

1. location

• Most expensive: Mazovia (Warsaw, Piaseczno, Konstancin)
• Medium: Lesser Poland, Pomerania, Lower Silesia
• Cheapest: Podkarpackie, Lubelskie, Opolskie

2. standard of finishing

• Open shell: PLN 2,800 – 3,500/m²
• Closed shell condition: PLN 3,700 – 4,500/m²
• Developed condition: 5,000 – 6,500 PLN/m²
• Turnkey condition: from PLN 6,000 to as much as PLN 9,000/m² depending on the project

3. construction technology

• Traditional masonry: the most common choice, stable price
• Prefabricated houses: faster, but in 2025 often more expensive (logistics costs)
• Energy-efficient technologies (e.g., passive): require a higher start-up budget

Example construction costs of a 120 m² house in 2025

Note: to the above costs should be added:

• Purchase of a plot of land (from 150 to as much as 1000+ zlotys/m² depending on the region)
• Projects, permits, official fees (approx. PLN 30,000-50,000)
• Connection costs (electricity, water, sewer, gas)

Does building a house pay off?

From the point of view of an investor or a family that plans to live in their own home for many years, construction can still be profitable. However, several factors should be taken into account:

Advantages:

• Custom design and comfort
• Potentially higher property value in the future
• Higher energy efficiency (lower bills in the future)

Disadvantages:

• Risk of exceeding the budget
• Rising contractor costs and inflation
• Strict control of work progress required

Typical Atlant Estates customer questions:

Yes, but restrictions may apply to agricultural land. Our office assists in the verification of plots and the purchase procedure.

3 – Do you offer construction assistance?
Yes, we work with construction partners, architects and inspectors. We also help with permitting and construction monitoring.

Summary

Building a house in Poland in 2025 is a cost in the range of PLN 5,550-6,200 per m², which means that for an average project of 120 m² you need to prepare more than PLN 700,000, not counting the price of the plot. Location, standard and technology are crucial.
