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.

Exactly, price transparency was actually THE main reason for me to choose Ikea. Unfortunately, I can no longer see the selected front and would prefer more personalized service. So I might still visit the kitchen studio after all.
Of course, the new earthwork contractor hasn’t sent an offer yet. Not by last week, and not even today. But at least he called back and we were able to briefly discuss what needs to be done. The offer is expected to arrive tomorrow. I’m quite curious.

We now have the quote. Previously, we had two offers from other earthworks contractors. One did not want to handle the drainage or backfilling, and the other was no longer reachable. Both were quoting between 23,000 and 25,000 for earthworks for the house and garage, including driveway and disposal.
The current contractor is asking for 29,500 for earthworks for the house, garage, driveway, two parking spaces, terrain grading, creating and compacting two terraces, strip footing for the garage, and all trenches and connections to the sewer.
About 350 cubic meters will be disposed of, and 100 cubic meters will be backfilled behind the house. The soil is expected to be sandy.
We are pleasantly surprised.
If, unfortunately, solid rock is found, it will obviously be more expensive. But that’s what the contingency fund is for.

This is how the bathroom will look now. To the left of the washbasin, there is space for a tall cabinet, and to the right, a rod for towels will be installed. We are still unsure about the best way to partition the shower area. It will be flush with the floor and tiled with a drain. We are seriously considering installing a folding shower door that can be folded to the right and left.
What do you think?

Do you have a company where you go for sample selections, or are you putting everything together on your own?
