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)

You definitely won’t have to worry about being cold. It looks really good. 😉
How is your mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery coming along? Is it still on schedule?The latest date from the Bosch representative is end of June / beginning of July. Let’s see. By the way, how are the slots for supply and exhaust air installed? In the floor or the ceiling?
Heating program is with continuous flow water heater
Definitely the ceiling, as the floor is too late, and the ceiling has many advantages in a bungalow.
1. Warm exhaust air rises upwards.
2. Fewer issues with the feeling of drafts.
3. Less labor involved.

In a house we had previously looked at in Spreenhagen, I believe the inlets were at the bottom and the outlets were at the top in the ceiling. It was also a bungalow.
By the way, here is my kitchen layout, including the recess for the kitchen island and the ventilation duct in the floor slab.

It should be in the ceiling; for the floor, it’s too late, and a ceiling installation has many advantages for bungalows.
1. Warm exhaust air rises upwards.
2. Fewer issues with the sensation of drafts.
3. Less labor involved. The screed will be poured on May 13th. Heating will start on May 16th. The briefing for the construction dryer is also on May 16th.
We would prefer if the outlets were in the ceiling 😎 I will ask the heating technician, who also planned the mechanical ventilation system, about this.

Starting from May 16th, the heating process will begin. The instruction on how to use the construction dryer is scheduled for May 16th.So, still without the heat pump? Have your horizontal ground heat exchangers been installed yet? Will you at least use your photovoltaic system to power the construction dryer then?N

Are you at least using your photovoltaic system to power the construction dryer?The photovoltaic system is not registered yet. Only the panels have been mounted so far. The horizontal ground collectors have not been installed yet, apparently due to significant staffing shortages. I thought the brine-water heat pump would be installed on the screed and that it wouldn’t be installed beforehand?
On a different note: the planned move-in date is mid-July. We have now terminated the apartment lease for August 31. Better to be safe. We can manage one last rent payment of 550 € (about $600). Plus, it gives me more time for renovation work and no moving stress :-)
