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

As Rick already mentioned, having 5 network outlets is the bare minimum. These network outlets are not related to home automation or KNX systems. They are solely intended to distribute internet throughout your house and enable data exchange between your devices at home.
There is usually a central point in the house, often in the utility room, where all the cables terminate and where the technical equipment is installed. You then need to decide whether everything should go into a network cabinet, multimedia distribution box, or simply be mounted on the wall. Each network outlet should be installed as a double socket and connected with 2 patch cables. To maintain flexibility for the future, the cables should be laid inside conduits so they can be replaced if needed. There should be at least one double socket per room. For rooms where more connections might be required—like the living room or office—of course, more sockets are necessary. Don’t forget the hobby room and garage. This setup is for fixed devices only. For Wi-Fi, plan at least one access point per floor. Whether this is sufficient depends on the floor plan. I prefer access points installed on the ceiling or at least high up on the wall. An outdoor access point for the patio and garden is often overlooked.

cat7 and the Fritzbox will probably do the jobYes, the Fritzbox works perfectly for most people in a home setting. A bit of Wi-Fi, connecting TV and PlayStation by cable... done. It’s hard to imagine in an online forum, but many households don’t even have a PC.Anyway, if the Fritzbox isn’t enough, you can always install additional switches, access points, and so on.
But that only works if you weren’t too stingy with network outlets!
So yes, run cables to every room, plan for access points on the ceiling, and lay the cables accordingly. Very important.

Since I haven’t found any really useful information, could you give me a rough idea of the price per m² (square meter)?

In the bathrooms, we used a seamless system from the company Dold. The joint between floor and wall is sealed with PU sealant.

I need to go back to the topic of the poured asphalt, or more precisely, the copper pipes.
We are also planning to use a similar type of floor, but our underfloor heating specialist strongly advises against it because he no longer wants to install copper. The reason is that copper is more prone to corrosion and, generally, it’s not common practice anymore. For this reason, he wants to install standard screed and then lay parquet or vinyl on top, which is obviously not what we want.
In short, the question for Rick: Which copper alloy did you use?
