Hello!
I am currently planning my new house and have recently signed the notary contract for the plot of land. At the moment, I am comparing several providers to find the right partner for my construction project.
I am browsing the internet daily to gather ideas for my dream home, and one thing keeps bothering me:
I want to have my own training room in the basement of the house. For this, I would like to use the well-known (although somewhat more expensive) Gym80 equipment (in case you are not familiar with them: these are strength training machines, which can also be found at places like McFit). The downside of these machines — besides the price — is that they are hardly dismantled (the machines are welded and delivered on pallets).
Now I am wondering how I can get the machines into the new building at all. I am planning a terrace at the basement level and a double-leaf patio door; however, I will not be able to get the machines through the doors inside the house. During the shell construction phase, I also cannot have the machines lifted in by a crane, since at that time there will still be no underfloor heating or screed installed.
Even though this is a rather unusual problem, does anyone have an idea how I can get my training equipment into my basement? Or am I forced to switch to machines that can be disassembled?
Kind regards from the Ruhr area!

another option would be to place the equipment on a dedicated pedestal and then pour the screed around it.
This is, for example, how heating units are often installed.
Our heat pump was also lifted into the basement through the stairwell using a crane and then placed on a sound- and vibration-isolated pedestal. After that, the house was built on top of the basement.
The screed was poured only four weeks later.
Regards,
Dirk
