ᐅ House Construction Planning: Solid Brick and Mortar House or Prefabricated House? With or Without a Basement?

Hello everyone,
We have been researching house building for a year now and have been feeling quite uncertain throughout the process.
Basically, we need to be mindful of the budget when building.
However, we would prefer a traditional masonry house, preferably with a basement.
We honestly don’t know where to really start to find a clear direction for ourselves.
For a year now, we have been struggling with different bits of information and still don’t know which way to go.
The house should be a smart home with all related features (definitely no wireless).
It should also be possible to retrofit if, for example, a power outlet or something similar is forgotten during construction.
We basically want a basement to keep the technology, heating system, and storage space separate from the living areas.
We won’t need an attic then.
We also want a modern open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area on the ground floor, along with a guest room.
The upper floor should have the bedroom, a walk-in closet, a large bathroom, and two offices (we will not have children).
The garage should be accessible from inside the house (either through the basement or an extension).
The house will be built in the Saxony-Anhalt region.
The total usable floor area, including bathrooms and basement, should be between 200 and 300 square meters (2,150 - 3,230 square feet).
We have many wishes, but we really don’t know where to start and currently have more questions than answers.
We are looking for an online community where we can exchange ideas and experiences with others.
Is this the right place for that?
If not, does anyone know where we might be better off?
Best regards, Maxi and Romano.

Sounds to me more like @hampshire than "someone"... I didn’t mean to be disrespectful, I just didn’t want to read everything again.
Sorry @hampshire 🙂

It just seems a bit strange that someone who manages so much professionally, enough to take on a house project worth 800,000 (approximately 880,000) dollars, wouldn’t first think to find a plot of land, sketch a floor plan, visit model home parks, or clarify the financial framework with the bank. On the other hand, your savings rate given your lifestyle is obviously huge, and the house seems to be very important to you.

Regarding presentation duties, at the same time, you create a "certain" impression through your disastrous language and writing style that makes me doubt the seriousness of your undertaking.The dumbest farmer harvests the biggest potatoes RomanoD. schrieb:
And as for presentation duties... So what? Since I am aware of them and do have some deficits, that doesn’t mean I can’t do anything...
There are also people who work their way up in other ways and are still not necessarily worse off because of it.True! But some planning and common sense with a focus on the essentials can be expected. RomanoD. schrieb:
And finally, I think salary doesn’t belong in a public forum.It doesn’t matter? Again, the wrong focus. You are anonymous here anyway. I find your flowery descriptions of how unusual or not you are much more personal and would advise you to be more reserved in that regard. That is what you present here — and in summary, it’s not a good presentation. Some neutrality with facts is necessary in a forum dealing with purchases in the high six-figure range. Everything else is unprofessional and tends toward being unbelievable.
