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)

If you choose VDSL, you will need a router with a compatible modem or a separate modem, which is quite uncommon nowadays.
How is the network planned inside the house? Are you using standalone access points with Wi-Fi turned off on the router, a single router that ideally covers everything, or a combination of router and access points to cover your house? For options one and three, I would recommend a used 7520 (a slightly stripped-down version from 1&1) or a 7530. For option two, the 7590 would be suitable. Whether Wi-Fi AX (Wi-Fi 6) is important to you is something you need to decide. If so, there are AX versions available.
If Telekom is your fixed provider for several years, the Speedport 4 is also an option. However, to my knowledge, it does not work with DS-Lite connections.

How is the home network planned? Separate access points with Wi-Fi turned off on the router, just one router that ideally covers everything, or a router combined with access points to cover your house? For options one and three, I would recommend a used 7520 (a slightly stripped-down 1&1 version) or the 7530. For option two, the 7590 is better. Whether Wi-Fi AX (Wi-Fi 6) is important to you is up to you. If so, there are AX versions available.
If Telekom is your fixed provider for years, then the Speedport 4 also works. As far as I know, it does not work with DS-Lite connections.Router in the utility room and access points in the house. The electrician will install that. That’s the maximum setup possible for us (see attachment). Can I use the FritzBox 7590 for this?

For MagentaXL with VDSL, the 7590 is suitable. If your requirements are a bit lower, the 7530 also works. It really depends on your needs. I always say: "Better to have it and not need it" 8-)

If you have slightly lower demands, the 7530 also works.We have the 7530 AX because it was included with the contract (250 megabits). Wi-Fi is okay, DECT is poor. The 7362 SL was better in that regard. I will probably switch to the 7590 soon.
