Hello everyone,
I just wanted to briefly introduce myself and say thank you.
For about a year and a half, I have been a silent reader here to gather inspiration and especially to gain more knowledge about construction technology.
Now a bit about me:
After more than a year of searching for a plot of land, I was able to purchase one from a developer who couldn’t move forward quickly with his plans.
So we found our dream plot (good location, 2500 m² (0.62 acres), slight slope, underground private spring that we have to preserve and are allowed to use).
There was an old house on the property, which we have since demolished.
There is no zoning plan, so §34 applies. During an initial informal inquiry at the building authority, almost everything we planned was rejected.
So we submitted an official preliminary building inquiry, involved the right people, and had lengthy discussions. In the end, we received a positive decision.
Therefore, there is nothing standing in the way of the building permit. The building permit should be granted within the next few weeks as there are no changes from the preliminary inquiry.
My wife (37) and I (36) want to build a Bauhaus-style villa in southern Baden-Württemberg.
It will be constructed from concrete (with core insulation) or in combination with insulated precast elements.
A lot of glass (full-glass system), textile shading, KNX, fast network both wired and wireless, strong mechanical ventilation with additional cooling coils, stainless steel pool, large cistern, and more.
The electrical planning must be 100% spot on since it’s almost impossible to make changes afterward.
Since I am friends with an architect from a larger firm, it was clear which route we would take. Such a house can basically only be realized with an architect.
I also personally know the electrician and KNX system integrator, as well as the owners and work approach of the heating, plumbing, and ventilation companies involved.
Some trades have already been contracted, and part of the equipment has already been ordered.
I’m really looking forward to getting started and to the final result. The goal is to move in by the end of 2019.
Once again, many thanks for the information I have received from you so far.
If you have any questions, just let me know.
Attached is the design, though not the final version. There have been a few minor changes.
Greetings from Swabia

Unfortunately, progress has not been as fast as hoped. We had to take more soil samples. You can still see the test pits. Hopefully, everyone will finally be satisfied now and we will be allowed to deliver to the planned landfill. The trees are gone, and the workers are starting with the construction access road.
Due to weather and holidays, progress has been slow. The construction road and partly the subbase for our driveway, as well as the area for the crane, are completed. Today, the crane will be surveyed for positioning. Tomorrow, the delivery of the Ego T 85 A (45 meters (148 feet)) is scheduled.

It's good that the crane area is properly compacted
Your thread is very interesting, may the weather and everything else stay favorable for you.Yes, crane areas must be compacted. As long as they use a proper tape measure, it works out. Otherwise, they're just completely incompetent.
By the way, @rick2018, I'm always quite impressed by your drone photos. What drone do you use to get shots like that?
The workers are doing it correctly: flow, frost protection gravel, plus fine gravel, all well compacted. They are currently digging further toward the back since we need it anyway, and so that the trucks with the crane can enter tomorrow.
Thanks for the good wishes that progress is being made and that the weather is cooperating.
@DASI90 I’m flying with a DJI Mavic 2 Pro. It has a 1-inch sensor.
Usually, the photo settings are on automatic because it’s only for documentation purposes.
Cropping, removing metadata, etc., is then done in Capture One Pro.

Thanks for the good vibes that things are finally moving forward and that the weather is cooperating.

Most of the photo settings are on automatic since it’s just for documentation.
Cropping, removing metadata, etc., then processing in Capture One Pro.By the way, the comment about the crane spot was just ironic and referring to a site manager legend you can see on YouTube. But the setup was really good.
