Hello everyone,
We have a plot of land (see site plan) and have started planning our dream house without an architect. Before we move forward in more detail, it would be great to receive opinions, ideas, and perspectives.
On the floor plan, you can see an electrical transformer to the east. It is quite tall and does not provide a pleasant view. Therefore, the utility room is planned here, separated from the house with access to the "breakfast terrace."
We are planning with the future in mind. This means we want all the essential living spaces on one level. Upstairs is for the children and grandchildren when they visit, as well as hobby rooms, an office, etc. The area above the living room is open. Downstairs, it is important for us to have separate areas. The kitchen/dining and living rooms should not be an open, connected space. We often have guests while others want to watch a movie in peace.
We welcome any extraordinary ideas. The house should be unique. But we also appreciate advice on realistic feasibility.
The house will be built as a timber frame house.
The building plan allows for few restrictions. The building envelope is shown on the drawing.
Thank you and best regards,
Andreas

about the flat-rate construction cost calculation of 2000€ per sqm (2000€ per sq ft)... which is not applicable here anyway, since this is a timber house.

... which can’t be used here anyway, since it’s a timber house.Ah, I hadn’t understood that before... Is there a similar approach to calculating construction costs for timber construction? What are the realistic additional building costs (such as fees and permits) that one should expect?neo-sciliar schrieb:
How high are the additional construction costsAdditional construction costs have nothing to do with this anyway.
And I have already posted the other information here a long time ago. You need to read the posts yourself ...

And I have already posted the other information here long ago. You need to read the posts yourself...I understand, that’s why I asked about the amount of additional construction costs.We build custom solid timber houses.
Our house is designed for people with disabilities. So far, only the bank’s appraiser has noticed this. Nevertheless, we have a traditional layout with sleeping and living areas upstairs. The staircase can be equipped with a lift at any time. Turning circles have been planned.
Additional construction costs cannot be precisely estimated. They vary significantly. Occasionally, 20% of the construction cost is mentioned for flat plots.
