ᐅ Procedure for Building a New Single-Family Home on an Existing Plot of Land

Hello everyone,
I know no one has a crystal ball here, but I would still like to hear your opinions:
We have just purchased a plot of land in Hesse, currently live cheaply, and have no urgent time pressure to build (although sooner is always better), except for the 5-year building obligation required by the municipality, which, however, can be extended by 1-2 years for justified reasons. We have slowly started planning and would like to possibly have the completed plans along with the building permit for our new single-family home ready to go, so we can react relatively quickly.
My assessment is that construction prices and interest rates will change little in 2023, even if they might stabilize at a high level. How 2024 or 2025 will look, of course, no one knows. But what is your feeling:
1. Rush the planning and possibly take advantage of a small "interest dip" in 2023 for financing and start with the belief that neither interest rates nor prices will significantly fall in the medium term, and waiting is just lost time.
2. Plan completely calmly, continue to build up equity, and assume that conditions for a new build may improve by the end of 2024 or possibly 2025.
If things become more concrete soon, I would be happy to provide more information for planning and share your feedback.
I welcome any questions and opinions 🙂
Best regards

Where exactly should I create a new thread? How does linking work?In the subforum for floor plan design. Your actual topic usually concerns the financial users more than the planners. Even I, as a “planner,” ended up here by chance, but I won’t be able to do anything without a completed questionnaire.

I’m becoming more and more comfortable with this layout, regardless of whether the house is slightly “rotated” or not.Whether you call it rotating or not? Basically, you place a house on the plot in the way that suits best. Unfortunately, this tool is used too rarely. Ideally, you position the walls in accordance with the terrain 😉H
hanghaus202313 Feb 2023 13:27In my design, the finished floor level of the basement is at 496.3 m (1627.6 ft) when used as living space. Your lowest point on the property is 496.4 m (1627.9 ft).
However, my version should generally work without a basement, with optimized earthworks and retaining walls.
I also swapped the kitchen with the living room. The utility room becomes the laundry/utility space, and a storage area can still be separated.
I rotated the house so that if a house is built to the south later, the view won’t be too obstructed.
Have a look at the Vero architect-designed house.
Your planner’s design also works here. The upper floor level then reaches 499.75 m (1640.4 ft) and the lower at 497.05 m (1630.6 ft).
If the basement fits the budget, the only remaining issue is the tower construction. I would at least shift the basement 3 m (10 ft) to the southeast so that a roof terrace can be built on top.

I rotated the house so that if a neighboring house is ever built to the south, the view won’t be obstructed.
Take a look at the architect-designed Vero house.

If a usable basement is within budget, then only the tower construction speaks against it. I would at least shift the basement 3 m (9.8 ft) to the southeast, so that a rooftop terrace can be built on top. That looks good 🙂 I think it’s quite close to the levels of our version with a basement. The retaining wall you’re showing below in the garden?
That would mean the entrance through the front door would be at 499.75 m (1,640.42 ft) and the basement exit at 497.05 m (1,631.56 ft)? The garden surface in front would then be at the same level... so that means what we want should actually work?!

... if you don’t cover the significant part with a beam. DBDDHKP :-( I’m afraid I don’t understand, please explain 😉
But what am I supposed to do about the tower construction? I guess you have to accept some compromises if you want to keep the basement...

These are the elevations according to your plan, if the basement ceiling is reduced to about 2.40 m (7 ft 10 in).
My option without a basement should work with the elevations shown in the plan due to the volume balance and the optimization of the upper floor (knee wall about 2.00 m (6 ft 7 in)). If you raise the height by about 75 cm (30 inches), you will also need to add 75 cm (30 inches) more fill. With the basement option, you can use the excavated material for leveling.

Dachshund9013 Feb 2023 17:59When searching for designs and elevations on the internet, I think our project is still quite acceptable in terms of the "tower construction," or am I mistaken?
If I look at the attached picture for comparison, the house does rise upwards when viewed from the garden, but would you already consider this a tower?
