Hello house building community!
Wishing you all a nice Easter Monday.
About us: We are a young couple and own a plot of land. We plan to build a house without a basement.
It will be a shell house (shell construction). We are now facing the first challenges in the planning stage.
The plot has a slight slope.
Since every hillside construction is unique, we admittedly haven’t checked the search function for long.
Now we hope to get some suggestions or experiences from this forum. We have two proposals.
So far, the architect hasn’t been able to offer many suggestions except that the garage should be on the left side.
However, having the garage on the right makes more sense for our driveway and usage.
Because if the garage is placed on the right, close to the boundary, the height limit of 3m (10 feet) must be observed there.
We have been going back and forth on this for days.
What do you house builders think about this?
For some reason, I can’t seem to upload photos.
I’ll try again shortly.
But I wanted to send this first before it disappears. 😀

Hello everyone,
Yes, you are all right, probably based on both good and bad experiences. But now we have the plot and really want to build. Many have done this before us, and we are ambitious.
The windows overall are sufficient for us. The contingency is for unexpected civil engineering costs. We have planned additional construction-related costs of 30,000 (30k). We want to be prepared for further expenses. The goal is to move in, and whatever comes, comes.
The building depth is about 28m (92 feet).
However, the topic is building a house with a garage on a slope. We would really appreciate any suggestions on this.
Thanks for your feedback!
Best regards
Theo

Oops, everything is new here...
I’m not specifically familiar with the regulations in NRW, but I would say: it’s probably fine as long as you provide the required number of parking spaces.
Usually, such a rule applies to plots of land bought through a local resident model—this is to ensure that people actually build on the land and don’t just buy it for speculation purposes.
It’s best to check with the building authority responsible for your area. Also ask there how long a building permit / planning permission remains valid and whether you can indicate “construction to follow later” for the garage when submitting your application.
Where I am, a building permit is valid for 5 years—so there shouldn’t be any issues. If that doesn’t work, you could first submit the building application just for the house and then submit the garage application later when you have the funds. Maybe Escroda has more detailed information on this.

Many have succeeded before us. And we are ambitious. You can definitely achieve a lot with ambition and hard work. However, since the budget hasn’t been mentioned, I can’t help but feel you might be taking on more than you can handle. Terms like "shell construction" and only 30,000 euros (around $32,000) for additional building costs on a slope to prepare for everything...
I would suggest you first ask in the financing thread about how much your shell construction on a slope will actually cost.
