In a bungalow built in 2015 that I might buy, there is a badly planned bathroom (I previously posted this in the wrong subforum, sorry...)

The floor area is about 2 meters by 4 meters (6.6 feet by 13.1 feet). Unfortunately, no toilet was planned here, but the connections should be located at the extension of the bathtub on the bottom left (under the tiles). The sink is suitable for a guest toilet, but not for a main bathroom. In that area, the wall was built with 17.5 cm (7 inches) calcium silicate brick (I think this was done to accommodate the drain). All other walls are made with 11.5 cm (4.5 inches) calcium silicate brick.
My idea now is to install a toilet and a walk-in shower at the bottom front side, separated by a frosted glass partition. The room width of 1.93 meters (6.3 feet) should just allow for this, right? The bathtub will be removed, and a corner sink solution will be placed in the shower corner.
The 17.5 cm (7 inches) brick wall where the current sink is located will be broken down and made flush with the other walls. The door will be removed and replaced by a sliding door.
I am concerned about the plumbing connections. I know that I am not allowed to chase drain pipes into the 11.5 cm (4.5 inches) calcium silicate brick walls. That means the screed will have to be removed and everything somehow re-laid on/in the floor slab?
I have budgeted around €20,000 for the renovation, but I am very uncertain if that will be sufficient.
I look forward to any ideas or advice on how to best approach this project.

Why do you want to renovate before selling? I would rather leave that to the buyers to decide how they want it. Otherwise, I would visit a competent bathroom showroom for advice. These are slowly reopening again nowadays. Alternatively, you could look for one of the increasingly common "bathroom design and installation from a single source" providers.
