Hello construction experts and enthusiasts, I have been reading along for a while and now I need some advice.

We want to build with TuC here in Saxony, postal code area 02.
The companies that build for TuC here have a good reputation and there is a lot of building activity at the moment.

Most people simply build an affordable house, called Standard eco Baustein 1. Unfortunately, posting links is not allowed. We want to make a few small changes if they make sense.

We would like to increase the exterior wall thickness from 24cm (9.5 inches) to 36.5cm (14 inches), using aerated concrete from Porit in monolithic construction.
The additional cost is about 7,300€ (the foundation slab will also be larger to maintain the living space). The rest will be adjusted to the stronger walls – roof, windowsills, etc.

If worthwhile, we would replace the gas condensing boiler with an air-to-water heat pump (Vaillant aroTherm Split vwl 75/5) with Unitower vwl 78/5 IS.
Additional cost: 6,000€.

Underfloor heating throughout the house.
The house model is Flair 125, where 125 stands for the square meters.
One and a half stories.

What are your thoughts on this?

Kind regards,
Kobi

Yes, that's true—the floor plan is already well coordinated, so there isn’t much to change.

The recesses for the ketchup bottles... reminds me of Whisky, Haydee, the outrage over the drug show and so on.....

By now, I have a good idea of what exactly will go into the compartments, which my husband also agrees with… but that’s not the topic here.

Canned beer makes you smarter. A very popular drinking song by Die Ärzte.
