Hello. Does it make sense to keep an existing basement when the old house is being replaced by a new one?
Or is it not cost-effective, since the new house would then need to be custom-designed by an architect to fit the existing basement, making it more expensive? In that case, a standard design house with a new basement might be cheaper. After all, it should be possible to keep the excavation hole created by demolishing the old basement.
I am not familiar with typical architect fees and the time involved, nor with the costs for excavation or pouring a new basement.

So I will show my dream house to the contractor. Or to Uncle Günter’s dachshund, it might come to the same thing. Contractors like formwork and masonry – people who enjoy tinkering are called engineers.
Let’s not get this wrong: not all contractors think in a straight line. But, with a fairly high probability, the contractor will only be able to imagine the project if the basement layout is a subset of the new house’s floor plan.
That is not necessarily the limit of what’s possible, but cleverer concepts call for an architect.
