Hello everyone,
I am new to this forum and have only recently started exploring the topic of house building. Therefore, I have a rather general question on the subject.
In conversations with different people, I have encountered varying statements. For this reason, I wanted to ask in a dedicated forum about the topic of "built-up area" on a building plot:
Thank you for your feedback and best regards

I am new to this forum and have only recently started exploring the topic of house building. Therefore, I have a rather general question on the subject.
In conversations with different people, I have encountered varying statements. For this reason, I wanted to ask in a dedicated forum about the topic of "built-up area" on a building plot:
- From what I have researched, a garage is counted as part of the built-up area of a property. So, for example, if you build a double garage of 36m² (387 ft²), these 36m² (387 ft²) are deducted from the allowable built-up area.
- Is a carport also deducted from the built-up area?
Thank you for your feedback and best regards

I can only share how it was calculated in our case. It was done exactly as shown in my example on page 1. The issue with the terrace attached to the house wall or freestanding is definitely not declared anywhere and would at best be a matter for a court decision or something similar.
