Hello, sorry for starting another thread.
Since I use a wheelchair, I need to build barrier-free. We have now secured a 520 m² (5,600 sq ft) plot of land. Naturally, the question is how to build: a bungalow or a house with a stair lift or an elevator.
We initially planned a bungalow of about 130 m² (1,400 sq ft), but since that is probably much more expensive, I am now considering a house with a lift again. Unfortunately, I don’t know how much such a lift or elevator costs, and more importantly, what ongoing costs I would have regarding electricity consumption, maintenance, inspections (e.g., building permit / planning permission), etc.
I hope someone here can help me.
Best regards,
Marcel

Take a look at nullbariere.de
I got a lot of information there about three years ago.
I would build in a way that is comfortable for me.
If it is already difficult for you to use a stair lift now, it will probably become impossible as you get older.
A platform stair lift might be an option for you. This requires a lot of clearance space before and after the stairs.
I think the suggestion to obtain an exemption from the building plan (building permit / planning permission) is a good one.

We are also in negotiations because of subsidies.
We visited the home builder today, and it looks like it will be a bungalow with a 45-degree roof.

I would assume that a bungalow with 130 m² (1,400 sq ft) of living space is cheaper than one with 130 m² (1,400 sq ft) of living space and a pitched roof including an elevator. No, I think it is exactly the other way around.
