Hello everyone,
I just wanted to briefly introduce myself and say thank you.
For about a year and a half, I have been a silent reader here to gather inspiration and especially to gain more knowledge about construction technology.
Now a bit about me:
After more than a year of searching for a plot of land, I was able to purchase one from a developer who couldn’t move forward quickly with his plans.
So we found our dream plot (good location, 2500 m² (0.62 acres), slight slope, underground private spring that we have to preserve and are allowed to use).
There was an old house on the property, which we have since demolished.
There is no zoning plan, so §34 applies. During an initial informal inquiry at the building authority, almost everything we planned was rejected.
So we submitted an official preliminary building inquiry, involved the right people, and had lengthy discussions. In the end, we received a positive decision.
Therefore, there is nothing standing in the way of the building permit. The building permit should be granted within the next few weeks as there are no changes from the preliminary inquiry.
My wife (37) and I (36) want to build a Bauhaus-style villa in southern Baden-Württemberg.
It will be constructed from concrete (with core insulation) or in combination with insulated precast elements.
A lot of glass (full-glass system), textile shading, KNX, fast network both wired and wireless, strong mechanical ventilation with additional cooling coils, stainless steel pool, large cistern, and more.
The electrical planning must be 100% spot on since it’s almost impossible to make changes afterward.
Since I am friends with an architect from a larger firm, it was clear which route we would take. Such a house can basically only be realized with an architect.
I also personally know the electrician and KNX system integrator, as well as the owners and work approach of the heating, plumbing, and ventilation companies involved.
Some trades have already been contracted, and part of the equipment has already been ordered.
I’m really looking forward to getting started and to the final result. The goal is to move in by the end of 2019.
Once again, many thanks for the information I have received from you so far.
If you have any questions, just let me know.
Attached is the design, though not the final version. There have been a few minor changes.
Greetings from Swabia

@11ant The roofer, for example, usually works only on large-scale projects. He only took on our house because he wanted to and was working on another large project with the architectural firm at the same time.
The structural builder also primarily works in project construction.
The HVAC company handles both project construction and smaller projects like single-family homes.
The design features are not that important.
I have connections in some areas, so we were able to access additional expertise.
The mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery is, for example, one of the first from the new series.

He thanked us for the prompt payment of the deposit invoice. Apparently, that’s not very common.Even disregarding the current interest rate situation, we also pay immediately whenever possible (i.e., when nothing still needs to be checked first, as with the final invoice, for example). And no, this really isn’t common; unfortunately, many public authorities lead by negative example, with companies sometimes having to chase them for payment for ages.

@Henning_85
Our ventilation design is rather unusual for a single-family home.
The system is sized well above standard, with almost no areas of air bypass, etc.
Due to the size of the house and the concept, the ventilation unit is actually intended for large buildings.
It is a Helios air1 (XH series).
I understand that you are still in the "planning phase" of your build and also want/wanted a Bauhaus style. So just a tip: our ventilation system is not suitable as a reference.
You will need a "standard" mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR) system, such as the Helios EC series, Zehnder ComfoAir Q, or something similar.

@Müllerin Yes, for public projects. But apparently also for private construction works.For some, it’s laziness, but for others, it’s about security. Once a payment is made, you rarely see a tradesperson again. You become invisible. That’s why it’s best to pay the remainder as late as possible. A lesson I learned during my construction experience. Except for tradespeople whom I know to be different.Similar topics
