Hello,

so, similar to our previous single-family house project, we are now starting the planning for the multi-family house. The title was deliberately chosen to be the same as the single-family house thread.

https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/baubericht-einfamilienhaus-1200-eur-m.35362/

So far, we have purchased an old carpentry workshop that will be demolished.

On February 16th, the building inquiry already submitted will be discussed by the municipal council. The question concerns the development with 3 full floors and a flat roof.

At first, I found a floor plan that I quite like and whose dimensions almost fit perfectly.

I’m still unsure about the elevator and whether it’s really worth the $30,000 (offer from Kone). Possibly, we will prepare the shaft for later installation if accessibility becomes necessary. The toilets would be removed to save costs.

There is already a slope on the plot anyway. How do you plan to level it? A partial basement would make sense in this case.

If you ask me, it’s economically nonsense. Partially usable basements can easily have a higher cost per square meter than fully finished basements. So, in terms of construction costs, this would probably kill your return on investment. You’re likely more efficient if you arrange them like this here, Swiss style at the top.

But if I maximize the above-ground area with living space, it makes sense to place the non-living area below.

It amounts to about 20–30 cm (8–12 inches) across the entire width of the plot. That doesn’t make much of a difference.

No, as you yourself say:

According to my basement formula, 90% of the basement costs here are luxury. The net increase in enclosed space would therefore be a Pyrrhic victory.

Huh?
I don’t understand what this has to do with the slope. Having a basement does reduce the percentage return, but more living space in the attic also means higher rental income, right?

Something else: according to the state building code, I don’t actually have to maintain the 2.3m (7 ft 7 in) height in the attic. Only less than 3/4 of the floor below must have a height of at least 2.3m (7 ft 7 in), correct?

In my opinion, that would then count as a full storey. But you can argue with the setback that the building doesn’t look as bulky, is lower than with a pitched roof, and casts less shadow. I’ll ask again: how large is the existing house? Length, width, height?

As far as I know, this interpretation is correct – as I already mentioned this morning at 12:40 AM. The moderator probably took issue with the fact that I had to add some extra explanation afterwards to clarify the minimum height "rule" :-(
