Dear fellow contributors,
I’m sharing our first attempt at the floor plan. Unfortunately, I can’t fill out the list because copying it over on my phone doesn’t work properly, sorry.
Key data:
5 children between 0 and 11 years old
2 adults in their mid-thirties
Plot of about 900 sqm (9700 sq ft), facing north
Building window edge on the street side: 17.35 m (57 ft)
Sloped site; within the building window, the ground rises about 2 m (7 ft) over 10 m (33 ft) from front to back
We want 5 small children’s bedrooms, a slightly larger office for working from home, a master bedroom, three showers, three toilets, a bathtub, and access to the garden through the living room on the upper floor. One wall in the children’s rooms should be removable later.
The attic is walkable.
We are allowed to build 2 full stories, with a ridge height of about 12 m (39 ft) and an eave height of 11.6 m (38 ft).
We would prefer a hip roof.
The current drawing is 9.5 by 11 m (31 by 36 ft), but we would like to have around 195 to 205 sqm (2100 to 2200 sq ft) of living space later; garage or storage will be added.
The back wall of the house is embedded up to about 2 m (7 ft) into the slope.
I will try to attach a rough overview of the plot.

That would, of course, be ideal if someone can be found for that. I will take care of it as soon as the construction start date is confirmed.
I’m now curious whether our calculations are still accurate. The previous excavation contractor wanted around 23,000 euros for digging the foundation pit, separating soil and partially storing it on the property, disposing of 350 cubic meters (460 cubic yards), laying gravel and compacting the excavation pit and driveway, rough leveling of the terrain, and backfilling behind the house. Additionally, we have budgeted 3,000 euros for drainage and another 4,000 euros for connection to the sewer line, which runs through the property.
What do you think? It’s a bit difficult now without knowing the exact amount of gravel...
We still have a buffer of about 10,000 euros available. So, in total, we can spend 40,000 euros on these works. If it ends up costing significantly more, there will be no garden shed or paving for the time being, or we will have to opt for cheaper painting services. Or, we might need to dip into private savings...
