Hello 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.

And think it through! Labor costs are expensive here. So always avoid what takes a long time. A wall projection takes longer to build than a straight wall. A hip roof takes longer than a gable roof. A chimney takes longer than none. And so on. That’s all correct. But sometimes I wonder if people just build a house to have one, or if they actually want it “that way.” For my part, I don’t just want a house; it should also be stylish and practical. For me, a square-shaped house doesn’t fit that. It might be quicker to build and therefore cheaper. But will the floor plan really suit you for the next several decades? When you keep getting annoyed because you have to walk five times around the living room just to avoid shouting—and that just because you wanted to save 5000€ back then.
Just a thought....
I see it differently. I actually live in a house. I can organize my room layout just as well in a rectangle as in a T- or L-shape. It just takes a bit of thought. Exterior appearance, color, plants, and so on create the accents.
Does every window need to be floor-to-ceiling? Or is having a patio door enough? For us, it is enough. Does the front door need to be recessed? And so on.

I do live in the house.Sometimes I come home from work and see the house from the outside. You can also see the house from the yard. ;-)
But I think you’re right about the point you’re making — everyone should weigh for themselves how important this or that is, and what consequences these decisions might have.

Does the front door need to be recessed? No, not if it’s not for the mayor.

But will the floor plan still suit your needs in the next several decades? You might end up frustrated having to walk back and forth five times just because you wanted to save €5000. Just something to think about....First and foremost, the location matters most; everything else comes later. Otherwise, anyone could build somewhere in the middle of nowhere. A simple rectangular floor plan (see also the article on the Flair xyz) is definitely more timeless and easier to sell than adding a small dormer here or some gimmick there 😉
But the customer is always king.
@TE, you should also consider the basic question of whether to choose a solid construction (masonry) or a timber frame.
