Hello everyone,
First of all, I would like to say a friendly hello to the group. I just registered because I couldn’t find any help on Google for my question.
We are planning to apply for a corner townhouse plot in our community. However, the municipality has not hired a developer to build the houses; instead, the houses have to be constructed independently by the owners.
There is a points system for the application, where factors like the number of children, how long you have lived in the community, and so on are weighted differently.
If you join forces with other interested parties and apply together, these points are added up, increasing your chances of being allocated a building plot. At the same time, you commit to building together, meaning you also have to coordinate with a developer.
We have tried to find people from our community, where we also live, who share the same ideas for building. This turned out to be impossible, as everyone has different opinions on how to build.
Therefore, we will probably apply alone for an end townhouse. However, I am now wondering if there are any laws or regulations regarding self-managed construction of townhouses? For example, if we build two full floors with an attic and a mono-pitched roof, is it allowed for the middle house to have a gable roof and only two full floors? Or does the first person to build set the standard that the others must follow?
Please forgive me if these are beginner questions — but I am one.
Thank you for your help!

I just had the “idea” to include a partial basement on the side where the foundation will be built – according to the general contractor, that’s not an issue. He offers this including disposal. According to him, it would be roughly two-thirds the cost of a full basement.And what do you actually save if you only get half of the space?G

And what exactly are you saving by only getting half?We will see that in the overall assessment. We definitely want to maintain the 20% equity ratio, as this offers significant advantages in terms of financing conditions. Therefore, we will now review the revised plan to determine whether we can and want to afford it. Otherwise, we will stick with the slab foundation and standard footing. According to a rough estimate from the general contractor, the difference would be about €15,000 (approximately $16,000). The partial basement would be more than sufficient for us, especially since we are initially planning without one, as it would extend along the full 10m (33 feet) length of the house.
A partial basement at the front or back might still be reasonable, but a partial basement covering one longitudinal half of a house that is 7 m (23 feet) wide overall seems very inefficient to me.

Let's assume you are building a basement that is three meters wide (10 feet) but 12 meters long (39 feet). You need a staircase to go down somewhere, and no matter where you place it, the rooms will either become very long and narrow or at least one of them will have to be a walk-through room.
How do you plan to use the rooms?

How do you plan to use the rooms?Well, since I have currently moved everything to the attic (heat pump including ventilation system as well as washing machine, dryer, and drying area), and we might still need some storage space, the basement would be purely for utility and storage purposes for us.
