Dear house building forum members,
I am new here and would appreciate creative ideas, opinions, and suggestions regarding our building plot:
Our plans:
Our goal is to build a spacious single-family house (220-240 sqm (2,370-2,580 sq ft)) with a separate apartment (about 60-70 sqm (650-750 sq ft)) for two adults and two small children.
It would be ideal to have a wide/long double garage plus two additional parking spaces in front.
One full floor (plus basement and attic) according to the development plan.
Style: open, modern, minimalist but without extravagant or unnecessary luxury.
Of course, good privacy from neighbors is very important.
Plot size: approx. 920 m² (approx. 7,860 sq ft) = approx. 730 m² (7,860 sq ft) plus approx. 190 m² (2,045 sq ft) driveway.
Development plan:
Site coverage ratio (floor area ratio): 0.3
Gross floor area ratio: 0.5
Open building style
1 full floor
Gable roof 28-38°
Knee wall max. 0.8 m (2.5 ft)
(see attached images)
Additional information / my thoughts:
– Nice plot in Baden-Württemberg with private access road (see photos attached)
– West edge: adjacent to open fields
– Not entirely flat: about 1 to 2 m (3-6 ft) height difference from west to east; sloping downwards to the east
– Plot width (north-south) is 20 m (66 ft).
My questions:
1. Do my plans for the size of our desired house fit within the development plan? Can I build about 300 m² (3,230 sq ft) (house plus separate apartment) there?
(Sorry for asking so simply for reassurance. Based on my calculations and my understanding of site coverage and floor area ratios, it should be possible.)
2. How do you assess the situation? Will it feel relatively “tight” in relation to the two neighboring houses (north and south)?
Theoretically, quite large houses can also be built there according to the development plan (see photos attached).
I know this is a high-level concern, but at this early planning stage, I would like to get your valued and experienced opinions.
For example, where to best position our house within the building zone to be as “safe” as possible, regardless of where and how neighbors may build.
The goal of this discussion at this point is not to develop detailed floor plans, but rather to collect initial assessments and ideas about the best way to build on this plot.
Thank you very much in advance!
If further information is needed, I’m happy to provide it!
Thanks in advance and best regards!

The question about the budget isn’t even being answered. Is it increasing, or does money not matter? That may well be the case – I believe Jürgen Harksen is out again, and for Mr. Kopper, that would also be pocket change.

Hey everyone!
I have already answered the question about "the budget" right from the very beginning.
Our estimates here on the forum ranged between 600,000 and 800,000 (all in all—including construction-related additional costs, driveway, double garage, photovoltaics, etc.).
The question is whether this will actually be enough or not.
That’s why I’m, of course, waiting for the offer.
Isn’t that understandable?
Best regards ✊

Folks!
I had indeed already answered the question about "the budget"—right at the very beginning.
That escaped me, sorry.
We have now received an offer from a provider (a reputable general contractor in the region):
Yes, of course we will carefully review and compare everything. Still, I’m interested in your initial thoughts...
Depending on the “extras” / options, the latest draft is around 810,000 to 850,000 EUR (including garage and VAT). However, this is “plus additional construction-related costs” (such as earthworks, etc.) – I will soon get more detailed explanations and a breakdown of these.
1. What approximate additional financial costs should be expected for these “additional construction-related costs” (earthworks, etc.)?
2. What are your general thoughts? Is this expensive? Much too expensive? Realistic for today’s market? Opinions / advice? Or is everyone shocked?
3. Any tips for the next steps? / Negotiation strategies?...
Best regards
