ᐅ Building an End-Terrace House – What Technical Requirements Should Be Considered?

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!

With a shed roof up to 15 degrees and a gable roof up to 40 degrees:
That will indeed be difficult if you cannot agree.
Is there actually a site plan uploaded here?
The zoning plan link has been deleted.
There is no such thing as half a story...
It’s probably excluding the roof, as I have seen in setback calculations for some designs, where only the exterior wall was used as a reference.
The shed roof will presumably slope towards the garden, so in this case the “lower” exterior wall facing the front yard counts.

Does that mean that for the 2.5-story gable roof, the street-facing side includes only the two full floors WITHOUT the roof?

For the shed roof, which is built up completely to full height, what is the actual total height?

That will indeed be difficult if you can't come to an agreement.2:1 - it will then be a gable roof. According to the building authority, it must be uniform.
As far as I recall accurately, I believe it works like this: up to a certain roof pitch, only the eaves height / wall height is considered; with a setback story, however, this limits the "extra" wall height it generates, usually at its own setback, so that practically only the wall height of the full stories counts as the actual basis for setback distances.

goalkeeper24 Apr 2019 16:35We are about to meet with the other new neighbors. Conveniently, the revised offer from the main contractor just arrived, reducing the foundation cost from about €9,800 to €3,000 for a depth of 3m (10 feet) due to the basement request from the middle house neighbors. Let’s see how they react to that.
It would also be interesting to hear your thoughts on the following prices:
Painting work including materials (Q2 level including textured wallpaper and one coat), including sanding and filling of ceilings and walls: €4,850 plus VAT.
Paint fleece on walls on the ground floor excluding stairwell and cloakroom, including surface preparation to Q3 level: €1,650 plus VAT (what will happen with the ceiling here?).
Laminate and vinyl work including materials and all additional tasks such as sanding and filling: €6,100 plus VAT.
The laminate and vinyl cover about 120 sqm (1,292 sq ft). Currently, about 45 sqm (484 sq ft) of vinyl is planned (material costs budgeted at €33 per sqm), with the rest covered by laminate (material costs budgeted at €25 per sqm).
For the painting work, you can expect around 145 sqm (1,560 sq ft) for the entire house.
Is it really worth doing the work yourself or hiring a different company? I find the prices quite reasonable.
Let’s see how the conversation goes later—especially concerning the foundation costs.
