Hello everyone,

We have started planning our house.

Since we need to redesign the floor plan, we are having some difficulties visualizing it.

We would appreciate any ideas from you, also based on your experiences.

The issue concerns the planning of the ground floor:

It should include the following:
1. Living room
2. Dining room
3. Kitchen
4. Utility room behind the kitchen, as the connections come from the right side
5. Guest toilet with shower
6. Laundry room with access to the garage and possibly an outdoor door
7. Office / guest room

The orientation of the house should remain the same due to the cardinal directions.

Thank you very much in advance.

So, we visited three different local builders, and all of them created customized plans for us before signing any contracts.

With the final builder, we ended up with a whole bunch of different drafts and spent weeks making adjustments until the final plan was settled. Only then were the contracts signed.
I wouldn’t have done it any other way.

Our developer prepared several drawings with us before signing. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to make a decision.

That’s why we are a bit hesitant to sign first without knowing if they can actually build our dream house for us.

Furthermore, we don’t yet know what costs will be involved.

Based on these experiences, we are now leaning more towards building with solid construction. That way, we know exactly what we are getting.

Unfortunately, due to the custom requests, prefabricated house construction is becoming almost more expensive.

We also want to do some of the work ourselves, which naturally holds us back a bit. It’s hardly worth it what prefabricated house providers credit you for your own labor.

Have you not yet spoken with any professional, building insurer, banker, or home provider?
