ᐅ Increase the garden patio size directly during new construction?

Hello
We have purchased a newly built semi-detached house. Our developer will install a standard 3x5m (10x16 ft) terrace using basic concrete slabs (ugly, costing about 10-15€ per sqm).
Later, we definitely want a larger terrace, about 4 or 5m (13-16 ft) deep and 9-10m (30-33 ft) wide, matching the width of the entire plot.
Should we have the large terrace built right away during the new construction and have our chosen stones installed immediately?
Or would it be better to wait about a year until the ground has properly settled so the terrace remains nice for a long time and doesn’t slightly sink or develop small waves over time, since the soil settles gradually after new construction (this is a large new development with 60 semi-detached houses and soakaways on each plot)?
After the ground has settled, then hire a company to build the terrace for us.
Which option would make more sense?

Is there a penalty, and do you have to reduce the building size as soon as it is noticed?

Is there a penalty and do you have to demolish the excess once it is discovered?Yes. And the building authority does not even need to come and inspect personally; it is enough if a troublesome neighbor reports it, which triggers an inspection.Mitleser123 schrieb:

Is it even possible to find your own semi-detached house then, since they probably all look very similar (the same)?Regarding the terrace: First, check what is allowed. Then you can order it directly if you don’t want to make any further changes later. Find out the additional cost beforehand.
I will ask the builder (he should be able to answer me) how many square meters are already built or paved with a standard 3x5m (10x16 feet) terrace including the house, garage, driveway, and everything else.
Then I will know how much terrace area is still allowed at most.
