Hello everyone,
we are currently in the planning stage and are in talks with three construction companies. Our house will be built on a slope with a 3.5 m (11.5 ft) drop over 34 m (111.5 ft). The land is 26 m (85 ft) wide, with a total area of 881 sqm (9,485 sq ft).
We have almost finished the floor plans for both levels. In the "basement," meaning the lower ground floor, we will have a bedroom, main bathroom, guest room, and utility room. Through the utility room, you can access our hobby room, as well as a cellar garage (or carport).
What still bothers us is that the living room should have a minimum width of 3.70 m (12 ft); 3.51 m (11.5 ft) is too narrow for us. What could be changed?
We are experiencing a planning block... :-( Do you have any other tips for us? Attached are the floor plans.
We will probably have a kitchen island.
Turnkey price including all painting and floor installation, including a double carport and storage room with cellar garage, was quoted at 412,000 Euros.
An extract from the offer:
It is a solid construction with a ventilation system Wolf Comfort CWL residential ventilation, underfloor heating (air-to-water heat pump); underfloor heating on the lower and upper floors (calculation based on energy certificate)
with separate controls (room thermostats) in every room; heating in the utility room / house connection room but no separate control; no heating in the hobby room!
Tiles at 25 €/sqm (2.32 $/sq ft), bay window with balcony on top, roof overhang all around at least 60 cm (24 inches), roof covering with Koramic clay tiles, triple-glazed windows with burglar resistance (some floor-to-ceiling), sliding door to the balcony, 2 outdoor water taps.
Aluminum front door, white or colored on both sides according to color chart, push/pull handle and lever set, security profile cylinder lock, steel bolt locking with 3 hinges, multiple burglary-resistant features.
Non-load-bearing interior walls on the living floors made of gypsum plasterboard stud walls about 15 cm (6 inches), including double-layer sound insulation, OSB reinforcement in utility room / kitchen, WC and bathrooms. Electric shutters on all elements (switch and connection at the window), high-voltage connection (for possible external plastering after moving in), 1 connection each for telephone and TV or CAT 6 cables (in 6 rooms).
Interior and exterior window sills made of granite. Interior stairs: cantilevered solid wood staircase with railing.
No terrace, no landscaping, we will pave the terrace and driveway/carport ourselves.
Do you think this is reasonable? We welcome any advice.
Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards

I would strongly reconsider the floor plan! In particular, the living room is quite small and the seating is very close to the TV. Have you measured the distance from your current seating to the TV to get a sense of how much 3.5m (11.5 feet) really is? How do you get in through the fixed glass panel?

j.bautsch13 Jun 2018 14:07So our living room was 3.5 x 5.5 meters (11.5 x 18 feet) and we had a 2.7 x 2.7 meter (8.9 x 8.9 feet) sofa and a 0.9 x 1.6 meter (3 x 5.2 feet) dining table in it, plus a cabinet and two dressers. It was not cramped and quite easy to furnish. Of course, bigger is always nicer 😉

I would definitely work more on the floor plan! Especially the living room—it’s very small and also very close to the TV. Have you measured how far you currently sit from the TV to understand how much 3.5m (11.5 feet) really is?
How do you enter through that fixed glass panel?You don’t have to justify yourself here. It’s your choice how big you want the living room to be.
But I can swear to you... once the summer season starts and you want to have breakfast, lunch, and dinner on the terrace, you will get sick of all the running back and forth. I’ve seen it with our neighbors. You just can’t sugarcoat it anymore.
But as I said, it’s your decision.

To clarify for you. Your item “earthworks” does not include removal of excess soil. To be even clearer: transportation and disposal are not included without having read your offer. €.So, it’s settled – earthworks including all transportation and storage are included in the price.
