Does anyone know a program that allows you to draw a plot of land properly? Do you find my plan in #26 unreasonable?
If not, here is the map without any planning:
The scale is 1:100. I draw this kind of thing with paint.net because it’s simple once you’re familiar with the layering technique. Of course, it’s not precise to the centimeter, and the alignment is not exact either. It’s definitely not suitable for detailed surveying but perfectly fine for initial planning.
@Escroda: No, absolutely not. Thank you very much!
I printed out the development plan and also sketched the house on it. We have since redesigned the house and swapped the kitchen and living room. This way, the dining/living area has access to the terrace/garden, instead of the south side, where there is "less" garden.

I still can’t believe that the offset on the upper floor is supposed to save $20,000. The extra square meters would really benefit the bedroom. Also, I can’t imagine that such a small offset would look good.

I once read in a forum that it was practiced successfully. That was about avoiding a full story. Here, it’s about saving costs while preventing the floor from not being considered a full story.

This is about cost savings linked to avoiding partial floor status. Which offset is supposed to actually save any money at all?

Sorry for phrasing it as a question, let me say it differently: No offset saves money!
