Hello,
we are currently planning a bungalow, approximately 15 meters (49 feet) long and 10 meters (33 feet) wide.
Does anyone know which roof type is generally the most cost-effective for everything above the ceiling plate? For example, a gable roof or a hip roof? Solar panels or similar are not an issue on the roof.
The attic would be used, as commonly done, as storage space and to house a mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery.
Best regards

What you are referring to is a classic hipped roof; it only qualifies as a pyramid roof if the floor plan is square.
Most bungalows in the past were built with a hipped roof; it looks more elegant compared to, for example, a gable roof. It is only in recent years that shed roofs, pitched roofs, and again flat roofs have been installed more frequently.

Don’t most bungalows have a hipped roof or a variant of the hipped roof with a ridge, especially if the floor plan isn’t square or L-shaped?

@Illo77 : Does only affordability count, or also aesthetics?
Aesthetics are, of course, a matter of personal taste 😉
However, since this is a future rental property, the cost aspect is more important.

Since this is going to be a rental property, the cost aspect is more importantReturn on investment for a single-family house? I’d rather focus on how to earn more money than to philosophize about the roof.;)ypg schrieb:

Good morning
The roof is just one aspect.
In my opinion, what matters is that the proportions are right, especially in relation to the surrounding buildings.
