Hello everyone,
let’s be honest! When building your dream home, did you make an irreversible, serious mistake by skipping the basement and now regret it? I’m looking for your experiences and reasons why that is, so I don’t make the same mistake myself, as I’m currently deciding whether to build with or without a basement.

There’s no need to discuss that! But an extra €60,000 for the better feeling? With that money, I could take my entire family to every premiere of a new movie for life, and still have some left for the occasional pack of popcorn.No worries... for me, it always feels better to be under the roof than underground.
Ah, that’s what you meant! Yes, you’re absolutely right, having natural sunlight above ground is definitely better... But for the perfect home theater, you need a truly dark room, and sloped ceilings do limit the design options a bit. BUT better to have a fulfilled dream with compromises than a dream that never comes true, right?
The attic with a standard staircase and concrete slab, as well as the garage, will be built with my father-in-law, who is a professional in this field! I estimate the garage will cost around €20,000.
If we had planned for a basement, a double garage would still be a "must" for us. That’s why we’re making it a bit larger now, but overall we still save quite a bit.
