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 someone from the HVAC trade What exactly do you do? – I can’t send you a private message (?) :-(https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

Just a quick update from me.
The HVAC installation is progressing well. The mechanical ventilation system and gas boiler are installed. Some parts are still missing. Part of the installation will be located in the pavilion.
The garden irrigation system is still to be installed. The remaining space will then be needed by the pool contractor.
The electricians are busy pulling cables as well. Some network cables are already in place. The advantage is that there’s no need for chasing into the concrete because all the conduit pipes are embedded in the concrete. The photo is a few days old and shows about half of the LAN cables. Cable trays will be installed later.
The components for the photovoltaic system have also arrived. We’ll see when we can get them on the roof... AWESOME STUFF

@matte1987 We worked with different specialists for various areas, but there is also a lot of self-planning involved. The advantage is that most of the trades know each other, and I am familiar with them as well. This results in short communication paths, mutual understanding, and experience.
@hampshire Nothing has been cleaned yet. The workers are tidying up. Of course, it sometimes looks messy, but that’s because work is still in progress.

There is not much new to report here.
The subfloor construction with waterproofing, insulation, and so on is complete. Today, the installation of the underfloor heating system began.
At the same time, the elevator is being installed. The frame must be in place before the floor (screed/asphalt) is poured.
Outside, the delivery of soil continues steadily. Unfortunately, we have not yet been able/allowed to pour the side retaining wall. This limits us somewhat now. There is still a bit of space left. Approximately 100 trucks have already delivered. At the front, we have finally managed to create some space as well.
We are also allowed to store materials at the neighbor’s property. The soil will only suffice for rough leveling of the site anyway. As soon as the pool and side wall are finished, we can proceed.
