Hello everyone,

I have been following your discussions on the topic of building for quite some time now and have already learned a lot from them. Now it’s time to turn my passive membership into an active one

My girlfriend and I would like to build a single-family house in the near future. We already have a plot (650 sqm) in the Mainz-Alzey region. At first, the discussion was about how our house should look in the future. Originally, my girlfriend really liked a city villa, while I was initially very much into the Bauhaus style. After some time, we agreed on a look that we both liked (at that point, it was purely about the appearance). It was supposed to be a gently sloping shed roof with cubic elements.
After some discussions and first offers, I realized that a flat shed roof (6 degrees) is, on the one hand, very expensive (metal covering +25,000€) and, on the other hand, neither fish nor fowl. Yesterday I had another discussion about this with my uncle, who is a self-employed roofer, and he said from his point of view that 6 degrees doesn't make much sense.

Yesterday we saw two houses that had a combination of a shed roof (about 15 degrees) and a flat roof. We both really liked that.

So my question to you:

- Currently, there are not many such designs. Is that because it doesn’t make sense from a technical point of view, or because it doesn’t appeal to the taste of many people? I could live with the latter

Looking forward to your answers, have a nice Easter!!!

PS: According to the development plan, it should not be a problem to build such a house there.

Hello,


Not quite that expensive, but certainly more expensive than gable roofs; combined with a flat roof definitely more expensive.


Well – not in the catalogs of most providers; that’s true. Usually, houses of this type are all custom designed; quite a bit more money has to be moved.

Attached you will find two examples – one combo FD/WD and one PD/SD; both not as expensive to build as the constructions you uploaded. Maybe that would be something for you too?


Then you’d be a lucky child.

Easter greetings from the Rhineland

You should not generalize as a layperson... nevertheless, through a lot of reading I have had to realize: the flatter the roof, the more complex, the more expensive. Besides, the popular taste tends to favor the classic gable roof or the hipped roof of the city villa. Additionally, of course, the development plan comes into play, which does not allow shed or flat roofs.

Regarding the development plan:



Either yes or no.... "should be" does not exist. I would clarify that first.

I have an offer from one of the major prefabricated house providers, who quoted an additional 25,000 for a 6-degree mono-pitched roof, but that seems very high to me.

Construction expert, can you briefly explain why a combination of a hip roof and a flat roof would be so much cheaper than the combination of a mono-pitched and a flat roof? Is it possible to roughly generalize how many percent more expensive such a combination is compared to a normal hip roof? Thank you very much for the photos, but actually we both prefer the combination of a mono-pitched and a flat roof.

Regarding the development plan, §34 applies there, and in the neighborhood there is both a flat roof and a mono-pitched roof. But of course, you are right, and I need to clarify this again in advance.

We are building with a shed roof, 3° pitch. A flat roof alone would be too expensive, we don’t want a gable roof.

A shed roof is a very inexpensive roof construction. Colloquially speaking, just lay the beams across the house and put the roof covering on top. A more elaborate shed roof construction like at ypg is, of course, more expensive again.

Good evening,


How do you come to that? From my point of view, the flat roof would not have cost you more than your "shed roof" with 3° pitch; which, by the way, is almost nothing. The difference lies exclusively in an almost three-sided, additional row of bricks.


A bit "more" masonry, more elaborate fastening of the roof tiles is also acceptable?


Yvonne’s house corresponds to the classic shed roof construction, with 2 different knee wall heights; so no rocket science.

Rhenish greetings
