Then I would also like to introduce our building project here and keep you updated.
First, a brief introduction about us. He (42.5 years; controller in healthcare), she (38.5 years; full-time teacher), child (8.75 years; fully dependent). Our household net income is currently about €6,400 (approximately $6,800) plus performance bonuses, 13th-month salary, overtime, etc. We own a 1,462 sqm (15,735 sq ft) plot of land in Fichtenwalde. The remaining debt on the land is €37,000 (about $39,000). According to official land value guidelines, the land is valued at €146,200 (about $156,000) (€100 / sqm). The market price is around €400,000 to €600,000 (recent sale prices). We submitted the building permit application including the land conversion at the end of December. We expect approval by mid to late July.
The construction company is KB Brandis from Jüterbog. External site supervision will be handled by Bauherrenhilfe with 13 appointments.
Now about the house. It will be a 144 sqm (1,550 sq ft) bungalow plus a 12 sqm (130 sq ft) covered terrace with the following additions:
- Ceiling height 3.00 m (9.8 ft)
- Electric roller shutters (including smart home integration)
- Double-sided laminated windows (wood-colored; RC3 security rating)
- Brine-to-water heat pump with ground collectors due to water protection area (Bosch Compress 7800i LW)
- Hydraulic balancing of the underfloor heating
- Controlled residential ventilation with heat recovery (Bosch)
- Motion detectors from a security company
- 13 kWp photovoltaic system, including battery preparation
- 10 m³ (2,650 gal) cistern for rainwater use
- Doorbell with video function
- Wallbox preparation for electric vehicle charging
- Exterior lighting
Floor plan attached.
We have not yet finalized financing (although discussions have taken place). So far, we have invested up to €30,000 (approximately $32,000) from our own savings during the planning phase. This is almost all of our equity. However, we continue to save about €2,750 (approximately $2,920) per month. The monthly mortgage payment is expected to be around €1,650 (about $1,750) plus additional costs of approximately €200-250 (about $210-265) (taking into account the photovoltaic system). This means when we move into the house, we will still have savings of at least €1,500 (about $1,590) per month.
The construction contract will be signed within the next few weeks. The prices (recently discussed with the company) correspond to the offer and commitment as of September 2020.
The price per square meter of the house (according to the latest offer and full specification) will be €2,700 (about $2,870). This includes everything, such as painting, flooring, etc. The overall costs are structured as follows:
House: €378,000 (about $402,000)
Land conversion including reclassification: €25,000 (about $26,600)
Additional building costs: €40,000 (about $42,500)
Outdoor facilities: €25,000 (about $26,600)
Total financing volume: €468,000 (about $498,000)

Sure, you just officially register yourself and you’re doneThat is not correct. That would be an administrative offense.Take a look at the (are you in Brandenburg?) BbgBO Section 76.
The apartment must be habitable: running water and cooking facilities, more than just a bed (sleeping place), etc.

But the general contractor says that some kind of usability must be ensured, or that the house has to be registered as “habitable.” I’m completely lost now 😎

We were too optimistic about the screed. It was measured at the end of last week. Still too damp. So back to six construction dryers and the heating cartridge... :-(

Neubau202229 Jun 2022 06:34Good morning. I have a question about living room lighting design. We want a ceiling-mounted fixture at the height of the fireplace, where a nice lamp will hang. Now I would also like to install recessed ceiling spots. The question is whether 2 sets of 3 spots each make sense. I would place 3 recessed spots between the fireplace and the wall where the sliding door is. That’s where the lowboard with the TV is. And on the opposite side, I would also put 3 recessed spots where the corner sofa is located.
My wife would prefer to have 4 recessed spots only on the side with the corner sofa, because she wonders what we would need above the TV.
What do you think?

I see both spotlight placements in the context of the question, "What are they supposed to achieve and when should they be turned on?"
In my living room, I also planned for 4 spotlights, mainly to highlight certain pieces of furniture. These lights only really come on briefly when I need to grab something from the cabinet in the dark and can’t see well enough with the rest of the lighting. In hindsight, I could have done without the spotlights. Applied to your case, I would rather suggest a row of spotlights along the cabinet side.
On the sofa side, wall lamps, floor lamps, etc., would be more suitable.
