tucana1Hello everyone,
after a 6-month wait, we finally received the preliminary building approval today.
Development Plan/Restrictions
Plot size: 1,114 sqm (approx. 11,990 sq ft)
Slope: no
Site coverage ratio: 0.3 + max 0.45 with ancillary structures
Floor area ratio: 0.4
Building window, building line and boundary: 5 m (16 ft) from the street, otherwise according to NRW regulations
Number of parking spaces: 1-2
Number of floors: 1 (barrier-free bungalow), possibly a small storage room with steep roof pitch
Roof type: any
Architectural style: any
According to neighbors, §34 of the Federal Building Code and NRW regulations,
the house should be positioned in the center of the plot.
We have drawn up a plan.
On Monday, our builder will visit for the next steps; we actually want to apply for the building permit this month.
A few things we are curious about:
Unfortunately, the land market in East Westphalia is very challenging. We looked for a plot for a year. The plot we have now is not 100% ideal either.
Therefore, we decided to build the bungalow here, live in it for a few years (at most 10 years), and then sell it to hopefully find something more suitable in the city center. This, of course, depends on demand remaining similarly high.
Since we are still uncertain about the costs for our current building project, we would like to ask if it is realistic to build the 16 x 10 m (52 x 33 ft) bungalow shown in the picture for around €180,000? That was the estimate from our builder. My father-in-law is a master bricklayer and could help us with both the shell construction and interior work.
My wife would like to find a way to minimize hallway space. Are there any possibilities in our plan to save some meters of hallway?

You mean just the shell construction for €180,000, right?Actually, our local builder quoted me €180,000 for the ready-to-move-in house.
For a bungalow, the shell construction costs are relatively high due to the large footprint (excavation, foundation slab, large roof). I really cannot imagine that.
Furthermore, a 10 x 16 m (33 x 52 feet) house does not have 160 square meters (1,722 square feet) of living space.

This is just a rough estimate to get an idea of the actual range. Otherwise, the only solution is to carefully calculate everything based on current quotes.

Will we be able to build the 16 x 10 m (52 x 33 ft) bungalow shown in the picture for 180,000€?Yes, that won’t be a problem. You’ll just have to skip heating, screed flooring, bathrooms, electrical installations, and a few other things. Otherwise, give us the address of the builder so he can build for me too. I’ll take the house and then sell it for at least 100% profit.Similar topics
