If applicable, also from the basement if you built one.

The overall feel is more open compared to choosing lower ceilings. Interior doors should match accordingly.

The feeling is more open compared to choosing lower ceilings. Interior doors need to match accordingly.I would like that as well. I have already visited several model home parks to have a look. Changing lamps or spotlights, of course, is not so convenient.
We are planning a ceiling height of 2.635 m (8 ft 8 in) on the ground and upper floors with a 14 cm (5.5 inch) floor construction. The basement height is 2.385 m (7 ft 10 in), also with a 14 cm (5.5 inch) floor construction. So, if you want to put it that way, this is a complete standard.
Why? Because our architect specified it that way and it is sufficient for us. My wife is 1.55 m (5 ft 1 in) tall. She doesn’t care at all about an extra 10 cm (4 inches) in height, and I wasn’t willing to pay more for it.
A higher ceiling almost always makes everything more expensive. Apart from the increased cost of the masonry, especially the windows, possibly also the doors if the standard height no longer suits, and the guest bathroom (wall tiles). If the upper floor height is increased as well, then everything doubles. Last but not least, the additional volume must be heated for many decades to come.
But, of course, everyone can decide as they wish. The 2,000 € for the additional course of bricks is at least not the only extra expense involved.
