Hello, after just over a year I’m getting back in touch. Now, after many delays due to political issues and the pandemic, the development area is finally being prepared, and it should be possible to start building from March 22. Meanwhile, our desired child has arrived, and since we plan to have only one, one child’s bedroom will be enough for us.
Furthermore, we now prefer a bungalow instead of a 1.5-story house because the price is similar and we like having everything on one level better.
We will probably build with Town & Country since the company (the franchiser) is located directly in the town and has already built half of the houses in previous new developments here, as well as the house of good friends of ours. Based on conversations with residents so far, we have not heard any significant negative experiences (of course, there are always some minor issues).
Development Plan / Restrictions
Plot size: 766m² (width at street 20.5m (67 ft 3 in)) / No. 28, drawing is oriented north, precise survey to be done soon
Slope: none
Site occupancy index: 0.4
Floor area ratio: II
Building envelope, building line, and boundaries
Edge development: no
Number of parking spaces: 2
Number of floors: up to 2 full stories
Roof type: gable or hip roof
Style: modern
Orientation:
Maximum heights/limits: ridge height 9.5m (31 ft 2 in), eaves height 6.5m (21 ft 4 in)
Other regulations: rainwater infiltration on site; internal walls mandatory
Homeowner Requirements
Style, roof type, building type: modern, bungalow, hip roof
Basement, floors: no basement
Number of residents, ages: 2 adults (28 and 34), 1 baby
Space requirement ground floor, upper floor: total about 130m² (1,399 sq ft)
Office: family use
Number of guest sleepers per year: 10
Open or closed layout: open living-dining area desired
Conservative or modern construction: modern
Open kitchen, cooking island: yes, would be nice but not essential
Number of dining seats: 6-8 (daily need 3-4)
Fireplace: yes
Music/speaker wall: no
Balcony, roof terrace: no
Garage, carport: 1 carport, 1 outdoor parking space
Kitchen garden, greenhouse: no
Other wishes/special features/daily routine, including reasons why this or that is preferred or excluded:
- Central ventilation system due to allergies
House Design
Designed by: combination of the builder and self-developed ideas
What do you particularly like? Why? The right side and the living/dining/kitchen area are quite appealing to me
What do you not like? Why? The left side with the child’s bedroom, bathroom, etc. could work but needs improvement; the child’s room should, if possible, be on the south side and be somewhat separate from ours, so the bathroom is currently planned in between
Estimated price according to architect/planner: 250,000
Personal price limit for the house including fixtures: 300,000
Preferred heating technology: gas + solar thermal
If you have to give up anything, which details or extensions
-Can you do without: pantry, possibly second shower in guest bathroom, L-shaped living/dining/kitchen area if not otherwise possible
-Can you not do without: walk-in closet/office, child’s room in the south - not directly next to the parents’ bedroom
Why is the design the way it is now?
At first, we had decided on an L-shaped bungalow, but since the extra cost compared to a simple rectangular shape was very high, we reconsidered what we actually need, studied other floor plans, and finally settled on this one. However, having been away from the topic for over a year because it looked like the development might not happen, this is now the first layout out of many we’ve drawn that we generally like. Unfortunately, we’ve only been able to visit two model bungalows, both somewhat smaller.
According to Town & Country, 17.5cm (7 inches) interior walls are now mandatory for bungalows due to previous cracking issues. Therefore, all interior walls in the plan are 17.5cm, and the exterior walls are currently planned at 30cm (12 inches). I am still considering increasing them to 36.5cm (14 inches) or 42.5cm (17 inches) but am unsure whether that would be worthwhile.
Since the tool used does not provide free dimensioning, here are the rough basic dimensions: 13.5m (44 ft 3 in) wide at the street side at the front and 11.1m (36 ft 5 in) deep. I will try another tool with dimensioning in the coming days, but for rough planning this should do for now.
Thanks in advance for your help.

We are building a 138 sqm (1,487 sq ft) bungalow, but the house price is around €2,800 per sqm (about $260 per sq ft) excluding additional construction costs (not Town & Country). With a Town & Country standard house, you will hardly be able to make any changes within that price limit.@Tom1978: Have we actually talked before about the "source" of your original floor plan (provider / model)? So far, I think I only know that you are building with KB Brandis, but the "idea" originally came from Poland, not Brandenburg...@Rampelzampel: You have modified the original floor plan from the base model so extensively that I strongly advise you no longer refer to that model in your offer. Call it instead "Variant creation Rampelzampel Approximately One Thirty" and calculate according to the actual dimensions and quantities; rather than still calling it "Town & Country Bungalow 131" and then charging markups for every "shifted" wall based on that list price. I see this anchoring effect as a risk that could increase your cost estimate.

I have already explained several times how the floor plan came about. We can gladly discuss it in my thread. However, we shouldn’t clutter this thread with it 😎

The current standard is planned to be kfw70, but I will also inquire about kfw55 to see if it is worthwhile or if it still fits within the budget. If so, we will include it. In that case, the exterior walls would be 42.5cm (17 inches) without external thermal insulation composite system (ETICS).
@11ant
Since the plot is only about 21m (69 feet) wide at the front and a 3m (10 feet) setback from the property line is required for the house (the garage may be built up to the boundary), the design had to be adjusted. As long as the floor area remains the same, at least the base price does not change for us. So the standard size of 16m by 9.5m (52.5 feet by 31 feet) has now become 13.5m by 11.25m (44 feet by 37 feet). But yes, you’re right, it’s quite a custom variant. We might also rotate it lengthwise and stick to the standard dimensions. I’ll put something together this afternoon and then update you here.

The current standard should be KfW 70, but I will also inquire about KfW 55 to see if it's worthwhile or if it fits within the budget at the end, we might go for that as well. Then the exterior walls would be 42.5cm (17 inches) without external thermal insulation composite system (ETICS).

Since the plot is only about 21m (69 feet) wide at the front and the house must be set back 3m (10 feet) from the property boundary (the garage can be built up to the boundary), the design had to be adjusted. As long as the footprint remains the same size, the base price at least does not change for us. So the original 16m x 9.5m (52.5 ft x 31 ft) standard has now become 13.5m x 11.25m (44 ft x 37 ft). But yes, you’re right, it’s quite a custom design then. We might also rotate it lengthwise and keep the standard dimensions. I’ll draft something this afternoon and update here.Our plot is only 20m (66 feet) wide and 73m (240 feet) long. That’s why we also chose a square floor plan: 13.5m x 13.5m (44 ft x 44 ft). Subtracting the 12 sqm (129 sq ft) covered terrace, we have 138 sqm (1,485 sq ft) of living space. The walls are 36.5cm (14 inches) thick without any insulation. This allows us to meet KfW 55 standards. The floor plan has already been criticized a lot, so I won’t share it here 😎

Our floor plan covered our requirements. The one from @Evolith is certainly very suitable for him/her, but not for us. We want bedrooms with walk-in closets, no side entrance, etc. But that’s not the topic here 😎
