Hello, we have finally acquired a sufficiently large plot of land and are now planning to build a single-family house with a granny flat (like a multi-generational house). Since we are both working and have little time, we do not want to search for electricians, shell construction companies, etc. ourselves and therefore want to build turnkey. Soon we have appointments with 2-3 construction companies to get advice. The most competent one will be chosen. We are not in a hurry with the construction, theoretically we could also move in only in 2-3 years, but we keep encountering the question: Prefabricated house? Timber frame construction? Solid house?
With wood, we have concerns that it offers too little sound insulation. Especially due to living together with the parents (separate granny flat), this would be important. And that it might mold, since we live only 200m from a river, and the groundwater might also rise quickly.
Are there any other tips that we absolutely should consider? We have already sketched/designed plans (fully basemented, separate granny flat about 85-90 sqm downstairs for the parents, 60 sqm kitchen/dining room downstairs for us, 130-150 sqm upstairs for us, possibly bay window and gallery between 1st/2nd floor).
