Good evening everyone,
and many thanks in advance for all the valuable information that has already helped us a lot!
After many years (how time flies) of following this forum and some setbacks regarding land allocation and the market situation, we are now happy to have purchased a plot that will serve as the foundation for our happiness as a couple (at least for now).
We would like to present our project to you.
After finding a suitable architect who is working with us on a hybrid construction (ground floor in reinforced concrete / upper floor in solid wood or timber frame) following the Vorarlberg school approach, we have spent many months planning to create a house concept tailored entirely to our needs.
We are currently working on the building permit / planning permission documentation.
With this post, we want to share our project with you and perhaps offer some guidance to anyone planning something similar.
Regarding equipment and the final technical setup, we are quite conservative. So, KNX and other smart home systems are not under consideration.
Here are some key details:
Plot size approximately 760m2 (8,180 sq ft); partly in a flood zone
Region: Rems-Murr district
Living area: about 177m2 (1,905 sq ft) plus 50m2 (540 sq ft) additional space
Heating will be provided by district heating; photovoltaic system is still under review
Pure construction costs so far: €630,000 (net)
We look forward to a hopefully lively and constructive discussion.
Best regards

Of course,
I just rarely get the chance to take photos and post updates due to a heavy workload.
The windows are installed.
Plumbing has started.
Carpenters are working on the ceilings.
Electrical work is almost finished.
The crane will be dismantled soon, and the cistern can be installed.
The waterproofing contractor is diligently battling against the rain 🙂

May I ask how much the model construction cost?
The model shows a covered entrance.
For cost reasons, I would postpone or completely omit the roof terrace on the garage. In my opinion, it is rarely used.

I would postpone or completely remove the roof terrace on the garage for cost reasons. In my opinion, it is rarely used. Very observant. The "model" comes from Innsbruck and covers all service phases (except construction supervision) for about 35,000€.
The entrance is also covered in the "real" building.
See attachment; executed as a thermal bridge element (Isokorb)

Very thorough. The “model” comes from Innsbruck and covers all service phases (except BL) with approximately 35,000€ (about $38,000). Are the planning costs included in the model (approx. 35,000€)?
You initially estimated 630,000€ (about $683,000). What is the current estimate? Does it include the 20 m² (215 sq ft) less floor area?

You originally budgeted 630,000. What is the current estimate? With the 20m2 (215 sq ft) reduced area? If by model you mean the pure “rendering,” then yes, that is of course included with a reputable firm 😉
We keep a very detailed list regarding the construction costs.
Our net construction costs, which we had planned to reduce by nearly €80,000 (approximately $85,000), have held up very well so far.
However, of course, we cannot offset inflationary increases.

We keep a very detailed record regarding construction costs.
Our net construction costs, which we had planned to reduce (just under 80,000€), we have so far been able to maintain very well.
However, of course, we cannot offset inflationary increases. I was actually referring to the photos in post #24. The 3D presentation is very good. I thought it was a physical model. 🤨 Sorry
Renderings of that quality are not often standard.
630,000 * 1.34 = 845,000, that is 215,000 more in costs. You were able to reduce that by 80,000?
