Building plot found! What NOW...?

Tell me, what is the name of the development plan ("Dingshausen No. 123")? Does it really offer freedom from bungalow to town villa?

The plot rises S/N about 3.20 : 26 m - so about one fifty in the building window, while it lies approximately horizontal W/E.

The street comes from the bottom of the plan, which on the left side of the plan continues only as a sidewalk; the entrance seems to me to be just about 2.50 m wide, which means it would probably have to take a little bit of sidewalk at an angle.

Your desired floor plan pattern (where does that come from?) seems to me not quite inserted to scale and also inconsistent in itself (just look at the proportions car - bed - sofa).

Mercy or not, this is still a long way from being rounded off.

If there are no restrictions in the B plan, I consider bungalows to be the better form of housing, since with the large land area one can probably manage with the larger floor area of the bungalow, and no stairs are better than stairs. The fact that it is more expensive is a myth. Yes, stylish Bauhaus villa bungalows or special shed roof constructions with floor-to-ceiling roof cladding, garnished with huge sliding doors and Roma blinds, that costs money, but the classic Nordic bungalow, like the one offered by Scanhaus Marlow Marlow or Danwood or Eksjö, does not. Of course, its roof is more expensive than that of a city villa, but for that you have no concrete ceiling, no scaffolding, can build on one level, interior walls are also erected quickly, so it is on par with two-story houses in both material and labor costs. K.

A bungalow is slightly more expensive compared to a 1.5-story gable roof house. A more complex roof outweighs the internal staircase. The question is rather whether one even wants a bungalow, provided the plot offers enough space. Up to 140 sqm I would still say yes, there are good floor plans, but anything beyond that quickly becomes very impractical in my opinion. Long dark corridors, for example, are the consequence.

Hello 11ant,

we are already aware that the matter is far from being settled.

But before an architect comes into play, I would like to form a somewhat more precise idea of the "dream house" myself. That’s why I’m trying to get a bit smarter here.

From Rosenweg there is a public road down to the property boundary. From there it becomes a private road, a parcel in communal use. The road width is at least 3m.

The floor plan draft is just a thought, roughly outlining how the room layout or house orientation on the property could be.

The questions I am asking myself in this context are as follows:

- because of the slope: build with or without a basement?
- where should the house best be positioned on the property?

and then about the house itself:

- cinder block or aerated concrete
- building technology: what really makes sense? Simple, cost-effective gas boiler or rather a heat pump with exhaust air heat recovery? Water-bearing fireplace? Photovoltaic and/or solar thermal system? Smart home?

This is not about environmental aspects, nothing against "green" thinking, but rather about the economic viability of the project.

Best regards

Does it really offer the freedom from bungalow to city villa?

Yes.
MI, plot ratio 0.4, floor space index 0.8, no number of floors specified, max. building height 11.0 m above finished floor level, base height middle of building 0.5 m, only pitched roofs with at least 20°

- because of the slope: build with or without a basement?

As the elephant already correctly calculated in #13, the height difference in the building window is about 1.5 m. I consider this just still acceptable for a building without a basement. However, I would build with a basement. If you don’t know, let your future structural engineer decide indirectly by having him give you a price for both options.

- where should the house best be placed on the plot?

Do you like front gardens? I don’t. Therefore, I would move right up to the front building boundary.

Simple, cost-effective gas boiler or rather a heat pump with exhaust air heat recovery?

I would choose the latter. But if gas is already available on the plot, then

We are not concerned with environmental aspects, nothing against "greens" , but rather with the economic viability of the project.

the decision is already made.

Hello Escroda,

how high are the surveying costs usually? Who and when places the order? Does it have to go through the [Katasteramt]?

Best regards
