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)

There are also so-called half bricks if you want an offset. At least, I found a similar system with tongue and groove online.Of course, standard pallets always include half bricks or edge bricks. At first, I thought they were natural stones and then edited my post. Last year, a van hit my neighbor’s wall at 15 km/h (9 mph) on black ice – the wall stayed standing, but the damage was quite significant.

or is the living room really that dark? I suspect it’s more because of the "patio overhang." That’s why we decided against it and placed the patio separately at the back.
My wife was also concerned that it might get "too dark." Now we have good lighting and brightness, but the living room also gets quite warm.
During the day, the shading needs to be used. That way, the temperature is comfortable in the evening as well.

Nice, the large pile of soil at the back is gone... have you already spread it around the property?
I really like the tiles in the living room. Yes, the soil has been distributed around the property. Now we are testing by seeding grass over about 50cm (20 inches) and will see how well it grows 🙂
@Tolentino It is a bit darker. This is a) due to the terrace and b) also because of the trees. Here is a photo of the terrace taken just a few seconds later. Our photovoltaic system is also affected by this. But my worst-case scenario showed that, even in the worst case and assuming constant energy prices, the balance would be zero 😎
