Hello everyone,

It’s unbelievable how deeply you can get involved in a topic once you have a fixed idea. And then all the questions need to be answered as quickly as possible.

That’s why I’m hoping for your tips and experiences.

I want to build a bungalow with Danwood. This prefabricated house manufacturer offers packages starting from the top of the concrete slab.

A concrete slab includes more than just pouring concrete. Excavation, backfilling, compaction, insulation... who knows what else. Then I keep reading about splash protection and all sorts of additional things.

Is there a company that handles all these works completely (maybe even including utility connections) that I could contact?

I’m a complete beginner and feel a bit lost in this area. Naturally, I want to be well informed so I don’t get taken advantage of.

When looking for prefabricated house providers, I already found it very frustrating that the offers are either WITH interior finishing OR with the concrete slab. And if it includes the slab, it only covers about 20 cm (8 inches) of earthworks.

A PREFABRICATED HOUSE means a READY-TO-MOVE-IN HOUSE. Why don’t these companies offer packages that cover everything?

Anyway... maybe you can shed some light on this.

Many thanks!

By the way, this is supposed to be my floor plan.

Hello Catsome,

for this issue, you should be able to find a solution with a basement contractor – they usually also construct concrete slabs.

If you need a specific recommendation for a (in my opinion) reliable basement contractor, just send me a brief private message.

Best regards,

Dirk

Unfortunately, it is not dimensioned. Is the bed in the bedroom 1.4 m (4 ft 7 in) wide?
Also, a floor plan without clear zoning is quite unusual...

I suspect WD is right – the bed seems quite narrow compared to the bathtub (standard length 160 cm (63 inches))... a 2 m (6.6 feet) bed might be tight.

A floor plan with area and length measurements would be very helpful...

Best regards,

Where should the heating system be located on the floor plan? If it goes in the utility room, there won’t be enough space left for a washing machine.
