Hello everyone!
We would be very grateful to receive feedback on our current floor plan and site planning progress.
We are a family of four with two children aged 4 and 7. We are building in a rural area.
Additionally, a sliding door will be installed between the kitchen and the living area.
Development Plan / Restrictions
Plot size: 672m2 (7228 sq ft)
No slope
Building zone, building line, and boundaries: no defined building zone
Maximum perimeter development: 9m (30 ft)
Number of parking spaces: 2
Maximum number of floors: 2
Roof pitch: at least 18 degrees
Architectural style: free choice
Orientation: north - south
Maximum heights / limits: none specified
Other requirements: none specified
Client Requirements
Country house style
1.5 stories, no basement
4 people: ages 30, 27, 7, 4
Office: for family use
Maximum overnight guests: mainly friends of the children
Enclosed architecture
Conservative construction method
Dining seats: 6
Carport
House Design
Designer: planner from a construction company
What do you particularly like? Why? Flexibility in the living area (with the sliding door), equally sized children's rooms, spacious hallway on the upper floor for a reading corner
What do you not like? Why? Possibly the children's rooms are too small? Utility room too small?
Price estimate according to architect/planner: 202,000
Personal price limit for the house, including fittings: 230,000
Preferred heating system: underfloor heating
If you had to give up something, which features or extensions could you do without?
- Could give up: bay window
- Could not give up: front gable
Why did the design turn out the way it did? For example:
Standard design from the planner? Standard as a basis but slightly adjusted.
What makes it particularly good or bad in your opinion? Despite the relatively small space, everyone finds their place and everything has been considered.
Thank you very much

The floors you "remove" are not included anyway in a turnkey delivery.
I just want to make sure you don’t get disappointed, and I bet against you being able to build a 144sqm (1550 sq ft) house with average finishes in 2020 for 202k without doing any work yourself... sorry.

average level of finish There is a lot of room for interpretation here. It definitely won’t be luxury at that price, we agree on that. He never said it would be move-in ready with the 230,000. Hopefully, the costs for floors, kitchen, furniture, lighting, landscaping, carport, and so on are already factored in. If the bathroom is done by a relative, that could be a significant expense that might come cheaper.
@Jnble2020, would you like to share some details about the level of finish? What has been agreed on? Is the kitchen included in the budget?

I just want to avoid you ending up disappointed, and I bet you can’t build a 144sqm (1,550 sq ft) house with average specifications without your own work for 202k in 2020... sorry. In our construction contract, floors and even wallpaper with paint are included in the turnkey specification. Several family members have already built with this contractor. The 202k is the turnkey price including everything—ready to move in. Our own work is deducted from that price. We live in a rural area where building is not nearly as expensive as in some other regions. We also didn’t approach this naively or without knowledge. Of course, we are building a standard house, but the contract for a ready-to-move-in home at 202k has been signed.

Our own work will still be deducted.If it all works out in the end, that would be impressive. I thought the 202k was already after deducting the own work. But yes, there are huge regional differences. And if the family’s experience is good in that area, it can definitely work out.
