Bathroom planning: Combine guest bathroom with children's bathroom?

I feel the same. I’m still hoping for a breakthrough by a professional who takes the project into their hands and frees the OP from this obsessive-compulsive disorder regarding shape, position, size, and especially the financial fears. Well, we’ll see.

I laugh out loud when the foreman says: Width x is rubbish, we’ll make width x +50cm, then the stones won’t need to be cut.

I'm laughing my head off when the builder says: Width x is crap, we'll make width x +50cm,

I am even firmly convinced that the builders would be constantly torn between the feelings "can't stop laughing" and "these Romans are crazy" if they were reading along here, seeing how much fuss clients make about whether 20 cm longer and 20 cm narrower or 138 or 141 sqm would make a relevant difference. For them, both are "each one house size seven" and they personally couldn't care less whether striped or dotted. What does it matter to the moon whether a dachshund or a terrier barks at it. Every sold Flair 113 proves that the world doesn't end if Biedermüllers don't build a mega-individual Neuschwanstein. Discussions about the absolute optimal parapet height of seating windows are at best a bit funny; in the end, the answer to the question of all questions is "42" (or as Zarah Leander sang: the world won't go under because of it).

Every Flair 113 sold proves that no world ends if Biedermüllers don’t build a mega-individual Neuschwanstein.

then I wonder why there is constantly screaming here and problems are being blown out of proportion where there are none (see colorful, black, cooking, silk, delicate laundry). The next house I will build according to colored laundry, preferably every laundry basket its own room

is it too much to ask of you to simply answer my questions with constructive contributions and also accept circumstances? according to your statements, 80% of the builders of 'smaller' prefabricated houses would have to be completely unhappy ...

You don’t understand at all what we want to say. Someone has drilled into you that your house measuring 16.80m x 9.50m costs sum X. You hold on so tightly to that that you completely lose sight of which rooms you need in what size, where they are conveniently located, how everyday life works, whether you have an inviting entrance area, and so on. Everything is subordinated to the dimensions just to keep sum X.

(A) builder laughs his head off because the amounts involved are comparatively tiny when you “fall out of the mold.” It is completely disproportionate to limit yourself so much when, for example, you could simply build a porch and include the guest WC and a nice wardrobe there instead of these contortions. It’s “not worth it,” do you understand? It doesn’t matter whether the house costs 300K or 303K if an enormous gain in quality of life results from it.

Of course, I don’t know the offer. Was it Town & Country? Did he say that the dimensions are crucial to keep the price? Why? What exactly is so crucial about that?

You also have to understand us. We see how you struggle and don’t know the reason for it. In the end, someone is ripping you off big time by telling you stories about additional costs that are completely unrealistic.

In the end, someone is pulling the wool over your eyes,

That doesn’t have to be the case at all, I don’t see it that way either. But the example with 300000 and 303000 is actually quite good. Where is the quality of life in this planning? Or life itself? The example with the washbasin drain stands quite well as a guiding example that you actually have more living comfort when things are stored centrally. I mean: not everyone has their water crate in their room... Everything has to subordinate to a Town & Country offer, which another builder then constructs. They certainly don’t care how the 135 sqm are divided. It was the same with our house. The structural engineering had to be done anyway. I also see a problem here that the knowledge pool of a layman is being drawn on instead of consulting a professional. The latter often still has possibilities in mind, if they are any good.

I have followed the thread closely and have not contributed so far, because the impression is that if you don't like an answer, it goes against a "circumstance."

I do not read that out. On the contrary: Here you are being offered some price-optimized suggestions that can easily be implemented by prefabricated house providers. That some react amusedly to your reactions to the comments and suggestions is probably less due to the contributions of others.
