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

At the end of this week, we were finally able to build the retaining wall towards the neighbor.
It will be backfilled from both sides.
At the beginning of the week, it was too windy, so the work was postponed.
Since we had to lift the parts over the house and partly across the entire property, heavy equipment was required.
We used a 220-ton mobile crane.
If the weather is good, the entire walls will be backfilled next week.
Inside, the plumbing, heating, and sanitation (PHS) installation continues. Some drywall partitions are already up. The electrician needs to work there first before we can finish boarding the walls.
The garage door is already installed.
Overall, everything is going quite well. At the end of February, progress will slow down a bit due to Fasnet celebrations.

I really like your building project and look forward to the first photos showing the visible windows. That’s when the well-balanced proportions will truly come to life.

Such equipment is really impressive.
We can only install the windows once the floor is in place.
We are still considering when to sand it. At the moment, I am leaning towards having it done right away.
I think we can install the glass by the end of April.
Later, I’ll quickly go to the construction site to check if everything is reasonably secured for the storm..
