City villa floor plan 160 sqm - Please provide tips!

Well, for a 10m house, that would be an average of 66cm. You can still dig out 35cm at the front and pile up at the back (or vice versa). But is that also fixed in the contract?

Yes, all these details are contractually recorded.

Huh? Now I am totally confused...

If everything is already signed...why are we planning around here? I can hardly imagine that a general contractor would make a totally different design at the same prices and conditions...or am I misunderstanding something here?

That shouldn't be the problem now.
For us, too, the reference house was taken as the basis for the contract.
Moving walls without significantly affecting the static structure, moving a window a meter further... all that was, of course, possible because the square meter figure, i.e., the shell, did not change for us.
However, not all general contractors are as free-spirited as ours.

I would be more interested to know exactly how it is in this case, because on the one hand I also doubt that every GC considers that "included," and on the other hand we have already talked here about different exterior dimensions and additions... and you can save yourself the trouble if you know that the building body is fixed.

I am an empathetic and compassionate person who simply does not want to expect , for example, to make an effort as in post #60 while in the worst flu condition, only for it to be for nothing because it is not included in the contract.

sorry for the spam ....but whether it works out for me in the end or not, I really appreciate the work of and am very grateful to her !!!! (of course also to the others)

In case you haven’t noticed: I also invest a lot of my free time in designs. Not during the day (my work doesn’t allow that), but in the evenings. Whether as a sketch or on the PC – and I am also annoyed by statements from a poster after numerous posts that everything is fixed like that.

But the poster here said that the floor plan is not fixed.
That includes the floor plan, not the house itself.
She expressed her dissatisfaction at some points. These were to be changed or at least looked at.
And that is completely fine.
That does not significantly change the construction costs.
Personally, I have not contributed much here and only followed the thread on the side...
... except that I would not make the door of a storage room accessible from the kitchen here.

And thus I try, already from the first posts, to read out how standardized the poster thinks, how important a new proposal is to him here, how set in their ways the thinking is, or what options are still possible at all.

The latter was, to my understanding, mentioned – whether the course here ran differently now... I don’t know... I haven’t read everything.

In case you haven't noticed: I also invest a lot of free time in drafts. Not during the day (my work doesn't allow it), but in the evenings. Whether as a sketch or on the PC – and I also get annoyed by statements from a TE after numerous posts, saying that everything is fixed.

Have I now stepped on your proverbial toes?

I don’t know where your accusation towards me is (or if you think I’m accusing you). But I’ve been following the thread from the beginning, and if after 19 pages it is mentioned in passing that everything has already been signed, it is legitimate to ask exactly what. Because the TE has never said that the external dimensions were fixed and, for example, has also tried to work with a different building structure.
You’re allowed to ask if that’s even still possible.

Edit: I could have also used you as an example, it’s just that the post from stuck in my mind. And as I said… I’d find it a shame if someone (including you) puts in effort and then it turns out that it’s not possible because of contractual limits or restrictions.
