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

Storage is not disposal. When will you be removing the soil again?
Storage does not cost €2 per cubic meterWritten statement from the construction company: Excavated soil will be graded at the back, and the garden will be prepared using the excavated soil. Excess material will be disposed of by us.

You don’t have to justify yourself here. It’s your choice how big the living room should be.
But I can swear on it... Once the summer season starts and you want to have breakfast, lunch, and dinner on the terrace from that point on, you’ll get fed up with going up and down all the time. I’ve seen it with our neighbors. You just can’t sugarcoat it anymore.
But as I said, it’s your decision.We also have a balcony where we can sit.
We have lived for 9 years in a top-floor apartment, where we always had to go down two flights of stairs, which is not a problem.

I seriously doubt that—we have similar dimensions in our apartment, especially regarding the distance between the couch and the TV....so I find it anything but cozy. It’s also about these 3.5 meters (11.5 feet). You can already see on the floor plan how cramped everything is.We have now expanded the floor plan, and the living room measures 3.76 m (12.3 feet) in width.
A good friend has a living room that is 3.69 m (12.1 feet) wide, and we really like it. So this works for us.

Thumbs upHe also gave us a fixed price for all these earthworks, even though the soil report is not yet available.
Everything is included! Disposal is included as well.

160 sqm*1900 = 304,000€
Basement + garage basement: 80,000€
Additional construction costs (+ extra earthworks): 70,000€
Double garage: 30,000€
=484,000 €
Your offer 412,000€ => Go for it 😀 xD
(I just don’t think it’s that “cheap,” since the figures above are already on the lower end)
And the question was 90% about the offer, not “how much do the earthworks cost”?
RegardsHi, so the 412,000€ covers everything – double carport with storage room, this carport partially basemented (3 x 7 m (10 x 23 ft)), turnkey house, earthworks including garden preparation and disposal of excess soil
