Hello
we are currently building a new semi-detached house
I am considering installing underfloor heating in the basement.
Our basement comes standard with conventional radiators under the stairs in the utility and storage rooms. As a special request, we will (red line) partition off this area as a separate room (of course with a door). The two lines at the back of the room will be ventilation slots to allow airflow since the other two rooms have windows.
The new room is intended as a pantry/storage room, and the storage room might be used as a workout room.
I have a few questions:
1: What do you think about installing underfloor heating throughout the entire basement? What are the advantages and disadvantages? The additional cost is 2700€.
2: In the underfloor heating package, the two rooms in the middle (hallway and newly partitioned room) will share a single heating circuit manifold, meaning the underfloor heating would be controlled by one thermostat and would heat both rooms. The underfloor heating would run beneath the new wall (a sand-lime brick wall).
My option would be, for an additional cost (amount unknown), to give the new room its own heating circuit, or to omit underfloor heating in that room altogether (which would of course reduce the extra cost of 2700€), or to have the hallway and new room share one heating circuit.
What would you recommend?

The radiators will be only about 30-40cm (12-16 inches) wide.
I am mainly concerned about the specifications
with thermostatic settings planned for basement purposes;
a heating load calculation is not part of this offer;
setting the location of the (enlarged) underfloor heating manifold;
room thermostatic control.
What do the individual points mean?

I'm not the provider, so these are just my thoughts:

with thermostatic settings planned for the basement use; Probably set a bit cooler. No extra cost.

a heating load calculation is not part of this offer; It’s always helpful if an external company does this. Definitely have it done!

Setting up the location of the (enlarged) underfloor heating manifold; To me, this sounds like meaningless filler text. The component just has to be installed, preferably in a vertical position. ;-)

room thermostat control. This has already been discussed. With a proper heating load calculation and balancing, you can be exempted from this. If not, make sure to request actuator valves that are fail-open, so the control can be disabled if needed.
The heating circuit manifold costs between 100 and 300€ online.
The 17x2 pipe costs 160€ for 200m (656 feet). For 400m (1312 feet) to the basement, it costs over 300€.
If we assume the "plumbing prices" are twice as expensive as online, that amounts to 1200€ for materials and half a day of work. A maximum of 2000€, minus the cost of radiators.
