I’m not quite sure how to start this thread properly. I hope I’m in the right section. I’ll just begin.
I’m still quite young, but I have always decided that only a prefabricated house is an option for me. My interest is not just for a few months, but rather spans several years, as I am planning my future with a long-term perspective. I want to build early because I want to pay off the house as soon as possible. I have already visited several well-known prefab house companies and have been really impressed. Since we don’t live far from a company headquarters (Frankenberg), I have also visited model homes several times.
Having a steady job with a regular income is, of course, a requirement that I meet.
I already have a plot of land, so I don’t have to worry about that.
Equity will also be available.
My question is simply whether there are other young homebuilders here who might share their experiences with me. Perhaps there are also recommendations on whether my decision to take on such a commitment so early is the right one or not.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Greetings from Hesse!

I don’t think the floor plan is that bad either. The hallway does get a bit tight if you want to hang jackets and store shoes there. You might have to improvise a little. However, I don’t understand the whole bay window thing. It costs a disproportionate amount of money, whereas the house could be a bit more spacious instead. For the cost of the bay window plus a little extra, I would rather extend the wall of the kitchen and living area to the same height as the bay window. That way, the bay window would be gone, but the entire house would be larger. Downstairs, there would be more space in the living area, and upstairs, the bathroom could be made slightly smaller, allowing for a utility closet to be placed between the bedroom and the bathroom. Additionally, the kids’ rooms would be a bit bigger.
This has some shortcomings but is neither uninhabitable nor small. There have been much less practical proposals before.
First of all, it’s a house for two with more than enough space, and it could also work for four.
I would still recommend properly drawing the open-plan living area, as it might end up feeling tight.
Our north-facing bedroom has advantages when temperatures rise above 30°C (86°F); in the winter months, it is much darker than the children’s room next door.

The original poster now just has to come up with clever detailed solutions for issues that the floor plan itself doesn’t optimally address.It’s simply frustrating and costly: if you ask a builder for extras like a drawer under the stairs, it will cost you. Even doing it yourself.
And yes: a house has a roof over your head, keeps you warm, is habitable, and above all makes you proud and happy. You only start to curse it later when many residents, for example with children and strollers, don’t know where to put all their stuff and clutter. In my opinion, fitting all of this out based solely on people’s experience is too expensive.

I just noticed that the original poster was here only two hours ago – a comment wouldn’t have hurt to clarify whether we are actually just hypothetically debating something irrelevant. In that case, I really hope they can still use the suggestion about dividing the space under the stairs.

Of course, some things could be nicer, but when I see the houses of my relatives, almost everything about this floor plan is an improvement compared to the existing buildings. Still, no one is unhappy.Sparfuchs_ schrieb:
Personally, I have no doubt that with this floor plan (despite the obvious shortcomings) you get a house where you can live very well with smart use of space. Even with two kids.100% agreed.
Guys, the homebuilder is 21 years old. That’s an age when you’re very flexible and don’t have problems getting shoes from the utility room or anywhere else. I also don’t think that at that age you already have eight jackets for four seasons per person hanging around. When I was that age, I had one jacket for summer and one for winter. That’s enough. Put a hook on the wall or door… done.
As you get older, people become very narrow-minded and you all here are perfect examples. Everything MUST be perfect, and anything less is a total disaster…? Are you even noticing that?
By the way, my entrance hall is under 2m² (21.5 sq ft). Behind it you either go up or down stairs. Still, there is a stroller there. Is that a problem? No!
