Development Plan/Restrictions
Plot size: 510 sqm (5,484 sq ft)
Slope: yes, north-facing slope with about 10 degrees gradient south to north

Building envelope, building line and boundary: see parcel 22 blue lines
Adjacent development: yes, agricultural land borders to the west
Number of parking spaces: 2
Number of floors: 2 full floors plus basement possible (soil report available)

Other requirements:
Owners’ Requirements
Style, roof type, building type: preference for classic rectangular
Basement, floors: basement if necessary, otherwise just slab-on-grade
Number and age of residents: 3 persons – 2x age 37 + 1x age 7; family planning complete
Room requirements on ground floor: guest shower bathroom; utility/technical room; pantry; kitchen; living-dining room
Room requirements on upper floor: master bathroom, master bedroom, 1 child’s room, 1 office
Office use: home office yes
Overnight guests per year: few
Open or closed layout: rather open
Conservative or modern building method: not decided
Open kitchen, kitchen island: kitchen should be separable from dining-living room by sliding door
Number of dining seats: 6
Fireplace: yes
Music/sound system wall: no
Balcony, roof terrace: no
Garage, carport: carport with attached storage room
Vegetable garden, greenhouse: vegetable garden
Special requests: KfW40+ standard for funding…?
House Design
We will visit some builders and get inspired. We do not want or can change the orientation on the plot.
Here are some details about our financial situation:
About you:
Income and assets:
Expenses:
Expenses already included in other categories can of course be omitted. This list is not final and can be extended or summarized. Please state all costs monthly, even if they occur only annually!
Housing costs:
Income and expense totals:
Do you think it is realistic to build a house for about 500,000€ total?
Our rough calculation is as follows:
House build costs for approx. 150 sqm (1,615 sq ft) turnkey on slab-on-grade: 375,000€
Carport/storage room: 25,000€
Additional costs: 40,000€
Outdoor areas (garden, paving, terrace, etc.): 50,000€
Total: approx. 500,000€
Thank you very much for your feedback 🙂

Unfortunately, the first preliminary floor plan is still pending.
Thanks to Corona, the builders hardly have any time at all :-( Surely you don’t want someone who only produces cost estimate drawings to design your house on this plot / according to this development plan?

What do you mean by cost estimate draftsman...? Like a draftsman from a construction company? Yes, also known as a drafts assistant.
La Casa schrieb:
Your suggestion would be to find an independent architect and work with them on a design plan? Definitely yes. There are certainly worse situations, but even the building envelopes marked like vacuum bags (dented at the proposed garage locations) make me cautious that the planning authority might be difficult to deal with. Have we already clarified where your plot should take the reference points for its maximum heights from?

Let's wait for the initial meeting next week, if it takes place... maybe the company actually has a professional architect on staff. The company is based in the Bavarian Forest area, so they should have experience with slopes. However, we will still look for an architect ourselves.
The precise survey will be completed by the end of the year; I hope this will provide more detailed information about the elevation profile.

The precise surveying will be completed by the end of the year; I hope there will then be more accurate information regarding the elevation profile. I was referring more to the definition. If it were up to me, I would prefer fixed reference elevation points for each plot. What is most challenging to deal with are self-adjusting reference elevations (like projecting the wall center onto the street-facing property boundary, or averaging intersection points of planned walls with previous ground levels). In my opinion, these are clear signs that a sadistic cynic must have been involved. “358.60 m above sea level, regardless of full moon or holiday” — that is the kind of data you can work with (but only with a “proper” architect, whether independent or not).
