Brontosaurus5 Aug 2018 20:37Hello everyone,
I registered here because we want to build our own home.
We have already ordered house builder catalogs and will soon visit a model home park.
Are there any online home planners that cover all the important questions? Can you recommend any? Just so we have a direction for where we want to go.
We want a house with a ground floor and an upper floor, totaling around 120–150 sqm (1,290–1,615 sq ft).
Preferably with a geothermal heat pump, blinds everywhere, controlled ventilation, and six rooms.
Can you point us in the right direction?
Land plots here cost around 100,000 EUR.

What do you want to know? There are many homebuilding blogs online where you can read up, or you can buy books on the subject.
Currently, you should budget around 2,000 euros per square meter. Additional costs may include a basement and garage, as well as extra expenses such as planning fees, kitchen, garden, and some furnishings.
For a 150 m² (1,615 sq ft) house without a basement and with the above-mentioned specifications, you are looking at approximately 450,000 euros excluding the land. I have included 20,000 euros for the kitchen and 30,000 euros for the garden in this estimate.

A good starting point for estimating costs is already available here in the forum:

Brontosaurus5 Aug 2018 20:55Hello... Thanks for the first link. I'll take a look at it.
If anyone else has more ideas, feel free to share.

I can handle costs, smile.
Plot of land. Choose a flat and slightly sandy one if possible. This saves earthworks. For us, it was 7,000; for others, 27,000. That’s quite a difference.
Calculate the ground source heat pump realistically. You’ll notice it’s a gimmick, not worth it. Use a gas boiler instead.
Build rectangular. Use the 113 mm (4.5 inch) standard window openings. Then later Ikea blinds 85 cm (33.5 inches) will fit as well. Use monolithic Ytong blocks. No polystyrene in the walls. Then the mailbox and hose reel will also hold up. Choose good quality uPVC front doors. Avoid fingerprint or similar fancy gimmicks. Solid mushroom-head locking systems. Good keys.
When planning the kitchen, make sure the three or so cabinets or corner units from the studio will fit without changes. Don’t skimp on electrical outlets, good screed, plaster, or light fixture boxes. Remember outdoor faucets, cables to the garden, outdoor sockets. Don’t forget painting and landscaping—20 percent extra is a tight estimate there. Plan so that a prefab garage will fit. It’s affordable and also provides storage. That’s it for now. You can get by with about 250,000 without the land.

That sounds pretty good already.
We are quite particular about the ground source heat pump—that's definitely going to be installed. I hadn’t considered most of the other things you mentioned so far.
But having enough power outlets, outdoor sockets, taps, wells, good plaster, and screed is absolutely clear.
We also want to include structured network cabling because we plan to completely forego satellite or cable TV.
