Hello, I have a question about the design of the house facade. We would like to integrate a cross gable (external dimensions: 3.70×1.50 meters (12.1×4.9 feet), projecting about 180 cm (6 feet) knee wall) into our new single-family house. Alternatively, a Dutch gable starting from the eaves is also an option. At the back, we are considering adding a trapezoidal dormer about 3 meters (9.8 feet) wide. During our last meeting, the planner advised us to think carefully about this because a complex roof structure can be costly. However, we believe that since most people only build once, it should also please us. My question is whether anyone has experience with the additional costs involved. Also, what is more affordable: a Dutch gable or the cross gable?
Best regards
Best regards

Yes, I come from NRW, almost Lower Saxony, so at the upper tip

derstefanm15 Mar 2015 14:24Together with our planner, we decided on the cross gable/captain’s gable because it fits the house’s appearance better and provides more interior space. According to our architect, the cross gable is more complex due to the additional corners, which require more time, for example, when sealing or installing brickwork. The Dutch gable starts at the eaves of the main roof and is therefore simpler and quicker to construct.
