What would you do differently in your next house build? (For us, there won’t be a next time, but I think beginners can benefit from our experience.) Please stay on topic and avoid lengthy discussions (feel free to start a new thread for that)!

I’ll start:
* Electrician: A network connection in every room isn’t necessary; nowadays everyone uses Wi-Fi, which is perfectly sufficient.
* Us: OK, then we’ll install one network connection per floor where the TV is going, you have to save somewhere.
* Result: At the network outlet, we get 50 Mbit/s, Wi-Fi with a repeater around 20, sometimes only about 5, Powerline adapters around 25. It’s enough for me, but the kids are disappointed. I followed all the usual advice.

11ant, please don’t criticize my electrician. He is a bit more traditional, but a very lovable person.[emoji3]
PS. I have two Berker TAE wall sockets left over...

So, we moved in last August and so far we haven’t found anything we would have done differently. We spent a long time planning the house beforehand and had no issues during construction.

Basement with the same clear ceiling height as the ground floor and first floor.

This is currently bothering me when setting up our workout room.

Negotiate more on the exterior landscaping

I am currently still in the planning or construction phase and have a question.

Does it bother anyone that they did not consider home automation, or that they have home automation in their house but would prefer to get rid of it.

So, automation might make sense for someone from Frankfurt who owns a holiday apartment on Norderney and wants to monitor it from their iPhone. But for someone who lives in their house full-time, that’s just nonsense. It’s a gimmick. I’d rather buy a proper beach chair for the garden. The wife would be happy. Karsten
