Building a small bungalow with 100 sqm - realistic idea?

By the way, my husband calls it prison style.

Yes, prison for home providers who sell "flat roof white matte = Bauhaus" is something I would advocate. Seriously: I can see nothing prison-like in either original Bauhaus architecture or in today's modern bold cheap copies of it.

Dear topic creator, don’t let yourself be unsettled. Of course, you can get a house for 180,000 euros if you only mean the house itself without connections, land, etc. Especially a 100 sqm bungalow. With two children it would also be sufficient but it would be pretty tight. If you don’t want a basement, then definitely choose a roof where you still have storage space, otherwise you’ll have all the Christmas decorations lying around in the apartment. Inform yourself from the manufacturers, because contrary to many forum members, I am of the opinion that both solid construction and prefabricated house companies have enough prefabricated offers for your house size. Because not everyone wants and can build a 200 sqm house. That’s why companies have adapted to it. Take your time and search calmly, you will surely find something. Look here in the forum at the section where it is listed exactly what costs you will face when building a house. Oh, and keep in mind it is still 180,000 euros, a lot of money for a house.

Go to a model home park and take a look at the houses there. Also visit the apartments of friends. Pay attention to design, wallpaper, flooring, the tightness around the dining table, the rain shower in the bathroom, the ballroom of the living room. You still have time to coordinate with each other. Arguing in the tile showroom someday is too late. Look at rooms and furnish them. No matter the plan, draw in your desired furniture with the correct measurements.

The company that built Nordlys might also be something for you.

Our construction company builds exactly max. 40 units per year and only on Fehmarn and on the mainland up to about Oldenburg or Lensahn. So not everywhere. But such small ones exist everywhere, and they are not more expensive than the big ones because neither much advertising nor salespeople are financed and the overhead is lean and straightforward.

The TE did specify SL as the construction site. That is with you, right?

Inform yourself with the manufacturers, because contrary to many forum members, I am of the opinion that mass-produced as well as prefabricated house companies have enough prefabricated offers for your house size.

Yes and no, not matching offers - but possibly matching floor plans: the bungalow offers in this size (90 to 100 sqm) focus on singles or childless couples. In this respect, the range of (also price-wise) suitable house designs for this question is rather limited. However, what could be found in abundance is the following: floor plans of around 170 sqm one-and-a-half-story houses, of which one could use the ground floor.

The OP stated SL as the building location. That is with you, right?

In the grey info box, "SL" probably stands for Saarland rather than the vehicle registration code Schleswig, which indeed would be around the corner for Nordlys. That's only about 600 km difference or so.
