JulianRHello everyone,
As the name suggests, we want to build a single-family house. I would appreciate any advice or general feedback on our plans. Here is a brief overview of the key details:
We have received approval from our local authority (71254 Ditzingen) for a single-family house plot. The dimensions are approximately 27.5 meters (90 feet) north-south by 15.5 meters (51 feet) west-east. The buildable area extends across the entire plot, so it would be possible to build a garage, carport, or similar structure right on the boundary. For those interested in the exact details: plot number 26 on this plan ditzingen.de/de/bauen-wohnen/ob-dem-korntaler-weg includes more information and the zoning plan.
We have been considering building for several years and have also visited a model home park. In principle, we have decided on a prefabricated house. Based on personal visits, reviews, and experiences from our network, we focused on the builders Weberhaus and Schwörerhaus (both offering customized floor plans) and have had initial discussions with both. Given the characteristics of the plot and our preferences, the Artis 300 model from Fingerhaus would also be a good fit. The designs from these builders are quite similar: guest room/office on the ground floor, shower bathroom on the ground floor, kitchen ideally separable by a sliding door but this is not a must, two children's bedrooms, bathroom, and master bedroom on the upper floor. The house would have a basement as well, the plot is mostly flat. One draft features a side entrance on the east with a slightly recessed niche for some shelter and a garage behind it. Would you recommend this?
Now, I wonder if the quality at Fingerhaus (particularly regarding sound and heat insulation) can match that of the other two. In general, I would be grateful for tips on what to watch out for when dealing with these builders and also regarding the expected costs (we do not have concrete offers yet, but they will come soon). Additionally, during my recent search I was impressed by Sonnleitner, mainly because of their emphasis on using mostly wood. Sonnleitner wooden house: I know this is quite a different option, but maybe you have experience with them as well?
Thank you very much and best regards
Julian

Over 1 million for a single-family house in Stuttgart?These are quite normal prices for the region. No chance of finding different prices, even for used properties. I have a friend in Waiblingen. Everything is comparable. "Affordable" housing in the commuter belt around Stuttgart.

We started considering building a house several years ago and also visited a display home park. Basically, we decided on a prefabricated house, In home exhibitions (I assume in your case Fellbach), you will naturally mostly find "prefab" homes. However, they are not necessarily more "finished" (just as "solid" brick houses are not necessarily more solid). If you had been engaged with this topic not before, but for years, you would know that.

By the way, with a basement, the plot is mostly flat. Because... you want to bury a lot of money?

Use the next rainy weekend to browse here thoroughly.

Over 1 million for a single-family house in Ditzingen?Unfortunately, that’s the case, and this price is theoretically already discounted in a points-based allocation. A private seller is currently offering a neighboring plot (slightly smaller and, in my opinion, less well located) for 650,000 (plus broker’s fee). Whether it will sell remains to be seen, but that is roughly the going rate. After the land cost, the remaining budget is approximately 700,000 to 800,000.Similar topics
