Hello,
we have a building plot and everything is still possible.
Of course, we have wishes and ideas.
Just like people are different, we all build our houses differently...
I’m interested in how you would approach having two sides, namely the east and south sides, facing a green area: but with a tree preservation and planting requirement on the south side...
And you want to be part of this garden...
Here are the facts as suggested by the moderation:
Plot size 1159 sqm (12,470 sq ft)
No slope, only a slight incline along a ditch, but it’s on the building boundary anyway. With trees and planting according to the development plan on the long side, where a tree already stands. Building boundary on the long side 6 meters (20 feet). The rest 3 meters (10 feet).
Floor area ratio known only as a percentage: 60% may be built on.
Plot ratio unknown at the moment, definitely ridge height 12 meters (39 feet). Surrounding buildings are mostly one and a half stories, and bungalows are planned. There are practically no restrictions.
Building window, building line and boundary
Edge development, only known after consulting authorities, our plan fits...
Number of parking spaces 3
Number of floors 1 (1.5 floors would also be conceivable)
Roof shape gable roof.
Style simple bungalow
Orientation? See plan.
Maximum heights/restrictions
Other requirements are met.
2 neighbors.
One on the north side and one on the west side, but only on a small section.
The rest of the west side is the access driveway.
Client requirements
We have no particular style preference; for us, the important thing is that we found a nice building plot in this location at all and that we focus more on a reasonable budget, finding an affordable mortgage payment, and being able to live well in the long term.
Household of 4 people, visitors 3-5 (at once) at least 4 weekends per year... We have a caravan that is used as an extra bedroom for us.
An office and workspace would be very advantageous for us as technology and craft enthusiasts.
Sufficient space on a small footprint.
The living area could also be open up to the roof... Or have a ceiling like the other rooms. But no exact idea yet... The structural engineering should be feasible, but it’s not yet decided what budget we want to allocate to that...
Whether conservative or modern... I’d say a healthy mix. In any case, with
an open kitchen, a small kitchen island (not a must) but reasonable storage space in the kitchen. As a mom, I want to be part of the busy life, and I can no longer imagine having a separate kitchen.
A basement is not essential.
Double garage planned. Possibly a carport.
Number of dining seats: 6 definitely, 8 would be great.
A fireplace is planned.
Wishes/particulars/daily routine, also reasons why this or that should or should not be:
1. Room layout:
Bedroom on the long side, as that’s the quiet green side. The kitchen and living room should be basically part of the garden.
The kitchen has morning and evening sun.
The entrance is at the front because we decided that a side entrance near the neighbor—for example: getting out of the car and around the corner, behind the house—is too far away for us, and the front facing the street would otherwise only have a window for the utility room...
Terrace location still open. Probably there will be two... The evening sun will come around again.
House design
Who is the plan by:
Idea from the internet, adapted plan created by ourselves.
All windows on the south side are floor-to-ceiling. Two patio doors: one facing east, one to the south off the dining room. Kitchen sink window has a lower window section. Another kitchen window is also floor-to-ceiling.
Other rooms (bathroom, guest WC, office, utility room) standard height.
Oh, and the kitchen island here is probably drawn too large. Actually, it would be 1 meter (3.3 feet) on the sides and 1.5 meters (5 feet) facing the kitchen counter.
What do you particularly like? Why?
Bedroom on a quiet side, no neighbor.
Kitchen and living room basically part of the garden, also a corner without neighbors, facing the green.
What don’t you like? Why?
Storage room too far from the kitchen, but still the best solution... And my plan is to fit as much as possible into the kitchen.
Cost estimate, somewhere between 150,000 and 220,000 (without garage and without outdoor facilities)
Preferred heating technology: not settled yet, we are currently looking into air-source heat pumps.
If you had to give up something, which details/extras
- could you live without:
- could you not live without:
Bedroom, living, and kitchen must face the green side...
Fireplace must be included,
2 children’s rooms,
Bathtub must be included...
I could maybe do without a second patio door? And kitchen layout, I’m still open.
Looking forward to your suggestions and feedback.
I hope for constructive, respectful criticism.

Why don't you build an angled bungalow?
Similar to the Kern-Haus Balance? Rotated 90 degrees. Slightly larger open-plan living area and bigger windows facing the undeveloped fieldYes, that actually meets a few "wishes." I need to think about it for a few days. But at first glance, I'm not sure if I like the location of one of the children's bedrooms and the utility room.
Take a look further down in the financing section; there are threads about additional construction costs and why building a house always ends up being more expensive.
You need to gather all the costs, including all your building materials for your own work. This can be quite challenging for you because of the large amount of self-performed work.
Do you have many helpers who ideally are trained professionals? A lot of time is spent on-site during construction.
With our building company, there was a young couple who had a shell structure built in 2015. The rest was planned to be completed by the man and his father. They moved in at Easter 2018.

You need to compile all costs, including all your building materials for the self-performed work. That can be quite tedious for you due to the extensive self-work involved.
Do you have many helpers who ideally have a trade qualification? On a construction site, a lot of time goes into that.
With our construction company, there was a young couple who in 2015 had a shell built. The rest they wanted to finish with the husband and his father. They moved in at Easter 2018.So, we have calculated the materials for the self-performed work. But that’s a good point.
And that’s exactly where many underestimate, because it really is quite astonishing how quickly those costs add up.
Still, we have planned a good buffer here.
And a second mistake many make is not sticking to their own plan.
For example, thinking "You only build once" and then spending a few extra dollars here and there...
Additional construction costs need to be clarified.
For us, the turnkey house price is 163. Additional requests and garage 11. Kitchen 4,500, garden and paving 15, painting and flooring 10. Total house costs thus approximately 203.
Extra costs: Earthworks separately 7, telecommunications, gas, water, sewage, electricity 9, permits and insurance 1, surveyor and cadastral office measurement 1, blinds 1, moving 1, topping-out ceremony 0.5, temporary construction electricity and water 0.5, totaling 21.
Total house without land fully completed 224.
Plus land 68.
Grand total 292 all included, truly ready to move in.
