ᐅ House with ground floor and upper floor—do you know any recommended house design software?

Use satellite. Can you imagine how often the DSL has been down here? Feels like every two weeks for a few hours. Satellite works almost all the time, except during thunderstorms or snowstorms.

Are there any online house planners that ask all the important questions?

A tool that designs a house just based on size and number of occupants? No. Configurators that filter the huge range of available models are provided by every prefab house manufacturer on their website. These help with orientation, even if you prefer masonry houses.

The best approach when working with an architect is to bring a list of rooms and, if needed, rough sketches – but the architect won’t get any cheaper if you try to present the finished house with some quick 3D software.

Plots of land here cost around 100,000 EUR.

What kind of plots exactly?

The plot is the landlord that can ruin your plans: your favorite roof style may not be allowed, for example.

A 150 m² (1,615 sq ft) one-and-a-half-story house requires about 125 m² (1,345 sq ft) of ground floor area; with a plot ratio (floor area ratio) of 0.4 and a site coverage ratio of 0.3, you would need approximately 417 m² (4,490 sq ft) of land.

Unexperienced buyers often underestimate the additional effort required for a sloped site – it is often not economically feasible to build without a basement there. This unfortunately puts many seemingly affordable plot offers into perspective.

It should also include network cabling,

Structured cabling, properly done, yes. But don’t let anyone sell you overpriced, overly fancy Cat.11-plus cables – that can be excessive. Conduits are also important (not as tunnels for cables already planned, but truly empty for cables you might not even think of today).

And: today is yesterday’s tomorrow – copper is current, but its future is limited. So keep fiber optics in mind from the start.

Correction to the above. Window openings are 110, not 113. Misremembered.

No, correctly: Nominal width "110" as the outer frame dimension means a rough opening of 113.5cm (44.7 inches).

Which 6 rooms would you like to have? With that number, space will be tight with 120 sqm (1,292 sq ft) depending on the size of the rooms ;-)

Most of the time, financing dictates everything that follows—at least the choice of an affordable home builder and the technology used. Talk to everyone, absorb all the information you can. Take a look at the pinned posts here about construction costs.

Listen to what the salespeople tell you, but don’t believe everything. Many are aiming for a quick contract. Please don’t sign anything hastily. But listen, read... and after three months, you will have a clearer picture from the pieces of the puzzle.

We’re still here as well 🙂

But first, do a lot of reading.
