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)

I’m simply referring to the part where I mentioned wall stubs and a dark living area. Changing a few things often means being open to other modifications as well. I planned our floor plan myself and allowed for rotations, removing a wall just to see how a corner would look without a wall or wall stub, or to maybe separate a corridor. I like the zoning, and I saw that as well in Evolith’s house. However, I would change some things and then plan something that feels “better” for me. A few adjustments can create a more open feeling.

But it’s “your” house. Let it be. I’m happy for you. I believe… haha… considering how defensively you reacted to my earlier criticism, you might feel better thinking it couldn’t be “my” house 😉 As I said earlier, I read everything and think about whether it suits us. If I wasn’t interested in criticism, I would have said so in the first post (even though it wouldn’t make much difference :-) ). Otherwise, I wouldn’t post here at all (repeatedly).
I know two users who, after some discussion, no longer share their floor plans in full detail to avoid having them heavily criticized. Instead, they prefer to build their own design with well-considered modifications and look forward to it.

Look forward to your new home; no one has the perfect floor plan for immediately/10/20/50 years,
because life brings too many changes.
We only showed our floor plan after the house was built 🙂

It’s the roof hatch. Or rather, the foldable ladder that leads to the attic. I think the retractable ladder was at least missing in the previous plans as a marked element.
Here you go, the whole mess aligned to north – in the site plan, the orange areas including the position of the porch are still from an earlier version:

Roof -> Safe
Underfloor heating with hydraulic balancing and room control -> Safe
Windows -> Also there, wow!! 🙂
What are basics? These are subjective things. I would never build a house with stairs, for others that’s basic...

A staircase is a basic element to move from one floor to another. Your house will have a very uncomfortable staircase, namely the loft hatch ladder, but it is still a staircase.
Others prefer to plan a more solid, conventional staircase, which has proven to be practical.
