Then I would also like to introduce our building project here and keep you updated.
First, a brief introduction about us. He (42.5 years; controller in healthcare), she (38.5 years; full-time teacher), child (8.75 years; fully dependent). Our household net income is currently about €6,400 (approximately $6,800) plus performance bonuses, 13th-month salary, overtime, etc. We own a 1,462 sqm (15,735 sq ft) plot of land in Fichtenwalde. The remaining debt on the land is €37,000 (about $39,000). According to official land value guidelines, the land is valued at €146,200 (about $156,000) (€100 / sqm). The market price is around €400,000 to €600,000 (recent sale prices). We submitted the building permit application including the land conversion at the end of December. We expect approval by mid to late July.
The construction company is KB Brandis from Jüterbog. External site supervision will be handled by Bauherrenhilfe with 13 appointments.
Now about the house. It will be a 144 sqm (1,550 sq ft) bungalow plus a 12 sqm (130 sq ft) covered terrace with the following additions:
- Ceiling height 3.00 m (9.8 ft)
- Electric roller shutters (including smart home integration)
- Double-sided laminated windows (wood-colored; RC3 security rating)
- Brine-to-water heat pump with ground collectors due to water protection area (Bosch Compress 7800i LW)
- Hydraulic balancing of the underfloor heating
- Controlled residential ventilation with heat recovery (Bosch)
- Motion detectors from a security company
- 13 kWp photovoltaic system, including battery preparation
- 10 m³ (2,650 gal) cistern for rainwater use
- Doorbell with video function
- Wallbox preparation for electric vehicle charging
- Exterior lighting
Floor plan attached.
We have not yet finalized financing (although discussions have taken place). So far, we have invested up to €30,000 (approximately $32,000) from our own savings during the planning phase. This is almost all of our equity. However, we continue to save about €2,750 (approximately $2,920) per month. The monthly mortgage payment is expected to be around €1,650 (about $1,750) plus additional costs of approximately €200-250 (about $210-265) (taking into account the photovoltaic system). This means when we move into the house, we will still have savings of at least €1,500 (about $1,590) per month.
The construction contract will be signed within the next few weeks. The prices (recently discussed with the company) correspond to the offer and commitment as of September 2020.
The price per square meter of the house (according to the latest offer and full specification) will be €2,700 (about $2,870). This includes everything, such as painting, flooring, etc. The overall costs are structured as follows:
House: €378,000 (about $402,000)
Land conversion including reclassification: €25,000 (about $26,600)
Additional building costs: €40,000 (about $42,500)
Outdoor facilities: €25,000 (about $26,600)
Total financing volume: €468,000 (about $498,000)

They are the same here as well.
Basically, I would request the heating load calculation "for the records." A target temperature of 35°C (95°F) is really not very ambitious.
It will work, and you can't always optimize everything during construction. That gets tiring.I have now spoken with the company. Heating load calculations have been and are still being carried out. The numbers stated in the construction specifications are sample figures; installation and settings are based on calculated values.

So you can still specify target temperatures and the requirement: minimum supply temperature.
The standard version is actually freezing cold.We have already discussed the temperatures for the individual rooms in advance. They will be between 19-21°C (66-70°F).

This is the floor construction. According to the external building supervisors (2 people with a total of over 60 years of experience), everything is perfect. Just a small tip regarding the floor construction. Pay attention to doors and floor-to-ceiling windows. If they really plan for only a 1 cm (0.4 inch) floor covering and design the doors and floor-to-ceiling windows accordingly, you might not be able to fit any other flooring underneath the doors and windows. In our case, the screed was 2 mm (0.08 inch) too high at the sliding door, which meant I couldn’t install parquet flooring underneath. The fit was also very tight with the interior doors for the parquet. According to the general contractor, I should have made it clear in advance that I wasn’t installing tile flooring.

If you only plan for a 1 cm (0.4 inch) floor covering and design the doors and floor-to-ceiling windows accordingly, you might not be able to install a different flooring under the doors and windows later. In our case, the screed was 2 mm (0.08 inch) too high at the sliding door, so I couldn’t fit any parquet underneath. Even with the interior doors, the parquet fit just barely. The general contractor said I should have mentioned earlier that I wouldn’t be installing tiles. Thanks for the tip. The floor is also being installed by the general contractor. Except for three rooms (bedroom, children’s room, office), wood-look tiles will be installed everywhere (@11ant’s favorite flooring), and in the other rooms, matching vinyl flooring will be laid. The tiles and vinyl have been ordered and come from the contractor’s supplier. Only the bathroom tiles were ordered externally. However, there are no floor-to-ceiling windows in the bathroom and guest toilet.

The tiles and vinyl have been ordered and come from the GC’s supplier. Only the tiles for the bathroom were ordered externally. However, the bathroom and guest toilet do not have floor-to-ceiling windows.Then that fits well, and at least you won’t have any problems.
