Are construction costs transferable to small houses?

Does anyone know if the devices are now unfortunately [leise]?

Some are very quiet. I don't trust them to stay quiet for long. In the show houses, I almost always hear a humming in the living room. If you are very sensitive, it is worth addressing this anyway. It makes life better.

But with 160T, 30T is quite different than with 350-450T. (My opinion)

I consider 30T "relative" for a different reason – but that has nothing to do with a reference amount, rather with the time it individually takes to earn this amount.

House order signed on 14.11., today applied for and got approved the KFW55 subsidy.

Does that mean you signed the house contract first and then submitted the KFW application?

Yes, that is possible with an additional agreement ("Resolutive condition of the construction service / BEG WG funding commitment"). Roughly speaking, it states that the contract is void if the funding is not approved.

Cool, thanks! We just had the topic with the construction company today, the energy consultant keeps putting us off week after week and we would like to have it settled once and for all.

Very exciting answers!

Noise air-water heat pump:
The offer includes Vaillant Arotherm VWL 35/5; 3.6 KW uniTower with outdoor unit (up to 70 m²), I asked what a quieter device costs and whether the indoor unit is decoupled and soundproofed. I am already very sensitive to noise, especially indoor.

KFW funding:
That was my assumption, that the company has its own energy consultants. Also, that there is such a clause, but I was not sure whether I would really be able to get out of the contract free of charge if no funding is approved in the end. Did you have the clause checked by a lawyer? Or is that a standard clause?

I have now asked the seller to apply for the funding but that I will sign the contract later.

Reason:
Too many uncertainties. For example, I have to check whether we are allowed to demolish the old barn ourselves. And whether the strip foundation that the old one has can be used for the new building, or whether it has to be removed and the ground compacted. And of course a soil report regarding load-bearing capacity. It is on a slope (3-6 degrees incline).

I’m curious whether that will work, with the lead time. I also still have to check some things in the offer. Preliminary sampling or similar.

I can also gladly name the price, if that is allowed, and tell you what maximum incidental construction costs I plan.

Currently, I’m not really sure whether 30K or 60K will be added at the end.

It’s going to be exciting. But I finally have to get out of the city apartments, and old buildings with small windows and no view of the countryside don’t really make me happy either. (-;

Does anyone know if it makes sense to have the window front on a north-facing slope with a 3-6 degree incline uphill? So facing south? No one can block my view there; to the north is the village, and I don’t want a window front there :)

I’m happy to also send a drawing

I am already sensitive to noise

then make sure in the floor plan that you do not sleep with the device directly on the same wall,
even better is a room in between
